Hi doctor,I recently got my teeth whitening trays but I smoke too. But when I am smoking, I use the trays to cover my teeth. No, I do not bleach at that time. I just use the tray to cover my teeth. Is that fine? My trays smell like tobacco. Does that matter?
Hi. I have gone through your query. See, you have to choose either one side. You have got stains due to smoking too and that you know. Whatever treatment you undergo, smoking is going to degrade it, and you will ultimately get stains again (in this case). I might sound rude here, but you have to stop smoking. You have to gradually decrease smoking and then totally stop. Otherwise, let alone the cancer part, it will definitely cause stains and degrade your gums and teeth health too. So, it is smoking vs too much of your tissues health. In the long run, you will lose your teeth either due to cavity or loosening of teeth. So, stop smoking. Coming on to your query, I do not think that covering the teeth with tray is going to help much. Actually, you are totally causing a negative effect by smoking while teeth whitening rather than doing any benefit. Sorry for the frank answer but you need to take care of your health and seeing your age, this is not a good habit as it can go for addiction. Rest, yeah, we are there to treat you as much as possible for the consequences of your habit. Take care. For more information consult a dentist online -->
