Home Remedies to RETAIN TEETH AND LIP COLOR
RETAIN TEETH AND LIP COLOR
The side effects such as discoloration of the teeth and lip colour caused by
smoking can be changed by bringing about a few simple lifestyle changes which
will enable prevention of teeth discoloration. One can also prevent the side
effects of smoking by improving dental hygiene.
If discoloration of teeth appears to be of an abnormal color without a logical
explanation and, if other symptoms are also present, it is advisable to see the
dentist at the earliest.
Discoloration of the lip is another area that needs care and attention to
regain the natural color.
Symptoms of Smoking on teeth and lips:
Apart from discoloration of the teeth and lip, smoking cigarettes or cigars can
cause a number of other oral symptoms and side effects which include:
Sticky tar deposits
Brown tooth stains
Red inflammation on the roof of the mouth
Delayed healing of the gums
Chronic bad breath
More tooth decay than non smokers
Smoking reduces the flow of saliva The symptoms are gross manifestations of
the biological changes occurring in the body due to continuous addiction to
smoking. Here are some key reasons that could lead to teeth discoloration:
Saliva is important for cleaning the lining of the mouth and teeth and protects
teeth from decay. Smoking reduces the flow of saliva and thus handicaps its key
function.
Smoking reduces blood flow to the gums and cuts the supply of vital nutrients.
Vitamin C helps gums to stay healthy. Smoking reduces the level of vitamin C
drastically.
Together, a reduced blood flow and diminishing vitamin C level, make treatment
of gum disease in smokers a difficult proposition.
Smoking also raises the mouth's temperature, damaging and killing important
oral tissue cells.
Other causes other than smoking that lead discoloration of the teeth are:
Several diseases that affect enamel (the hard surface of the teeth) and dentin
(the underlying material under enamel) can lead to tooth discoloration.
Treatments for certain conditions can also affect tooth color. For example,
head and neck radiation and chemotherapy can cause teeth discoloration.
Mouth rinses and washes containing chlorhexidine and cetylpyridinium chloride
can also stain teeth.
Antihistamines (like Benadryl), antipsychotic drugs, and antihypertensive
medications also cause teeth discoloration.
Excessive fluoride either from environmental sources (naturally high fluoride
levels in water) or from excessive use (fluoride applications, rinses,
toothpaste, and fluoride supplements taken by mouth) can cause teeth
discoloration.
Reduce intake of coffee and cigarettes
Remedies to prevent tooth discoloration:
To prevent discoloration a coffee drinker and/or smoker must consider reducing
intake or giving up on these addictions. One can also prevent the side effects
of smoking by improving dental hygiene .This can be done by brushing and
flossing regularly and getting teeth cleaned by a dentist every 6 months.
Treatment options or home remedies that can be tried at home may vary depending
on the cause of the discoloration and include:
Using proper tooth brushing and flossing techniques
Avoidance of foods and beverages that cause stains on teeth.
Using Over-The-Counter whitening agents
Remedies to prevent discoloration of the lip:
Here are simple lip care tips and home remedies for intense smokers:
To reduce discoloration caused by smoking or caffeinated drinks the first step
is to reduce the intake of such habits.
Drink at least 10 glasses of water to flush toxins away.
Apply Vaseline to your lips regularly.
Clarified butter is also a very good home remedy. Apply a little every night to
soothe lips. This helps keep lips moisturized.

lips over time.
