    I was a smoker for some ten years, and finally quit about seven years ago. My teeth did not seem to suffer from it too badly, but I was left with a couple of stains on my front teeth.

    How easy is it to remove these stains-and is it possible to do in just one visit? And can smoking have had any other effect on my oral health that I might not be aware of?

    I am not sure that it could be done in one single visit because many of the treatments I have seen take multiple applications. They generally take a week of once a day treatment, however these are at home kits. I do not know what the dentist in the office could do.

    Well I am fairly sure that I would not be able to return for daily treatments if that is what is required. Do you think perhaps that the dentist will prescribe something, or recommend a product instead that would be used for the treatment, at home?

    Well, the procedure that OrthoNeedy described that was once a day treatments were also at home kits, so I'm sure that if that is required, the dentist would recommend to you a product. You would not have to go to the office once a day.

    I haven't seen those available-at home treatments I mean. Where would one buy them, or could you get them on prescription? I too have some stains on my teeth, left behind from braces that I had fitted on the NHS.

    You could probably do a search on the internet, if they are not available by prescription, more than likely you should be able to source it on the internet.
