no, it will not stain your porcelain crowns or veneers.  but it can do some major damage to the rest of your mouth, as well as your body.  I think your should be more worried about getting cancer of the liver, pancreas, tongue, throat, stomach, etc.  Did you know that cancer of the mouth is one of the hardest to treat, let alone treating with out leaving any disfiguring scars?  Not so worried about staining your teeth now are you?

most probably your problem is called gingivitis bleeding is one parameter of gum deaseas and also color of your gum ...\nyou had better visit your dentist for professional cleaning which is usually solved gingivitis problem in that visit after cleaning your gum can be healthy by itself \nbut if you are late to visit your dentist  you may lost your teeth because of gum deaseas

Teeth loose their whiteness due to age,\ncavities and eatingfood like coffee,tea,\ncola which stain the teeth.Tobacoo and \nsome antibiotics also cause stains.\nCommercial tooth whiteners use hydrogen\nperoxide and are expensive and inconvenient.\nA cheap and natural tooth whitening home \nremedy uses few strawberries but certain \nprecautions have to be taken.I found the \ninformation at http://tinyurl.com/ep7yg

You could try Euthymol, but I think you'd soon go back to liking mint flavour cos it tastes of TCP!!!! I bought a tube once, and I started dreading cleaning my teeth cos I hated it! But hey... everyone's different, you might like it. You can get it from most supermarkets.

Use toothpaste, rub it in with your finger...or BRASSO works also...a mild abrassive..

I think some staining is natural. If you smoke, drink coffee, or eat foods like blue berries you will have more staining.\n\nAt 60 you should be pleased that you have teeth to worry about. Lots of folks are toothless at 60.

There are some really good whitening products available through your dentist.  Opalescence is a good one.  It takes a little longer for tetracycline staining than for regular stains but the wait is worth it.  Some say do veneers but they are expensive and only last 5 to 10 yrs last i heard. We're talking 5to 600 a tooth.

Ask your dentist.  You might be able to use a removeable appliance that would be relatively inexpensive to fix a minor problem.

No, it doesn't cause cavities... but chewing on straws, ice, gum, etc. all the time could lead to future TMJ problems.

It sounds like it's just a small piece of food that got trapped under the gum line and has caused a small tender mass to grow.  VERY COMMON.  It happens to me about every 3-5 years.  I had a case of it just last week and got rid of it in 24 hours.  Maybe less.\n\nBefore making an appointment with your dentist, try this first.  It's what MY dentist told me to do and it works every time.\n\nRinse your mouth with hydrogen peroxide(you can find it in the drugstore near the antiseptic section somewhere.)\nSwish it around in your mouth for a full minute.  DO NOT RINSE with water.\nIT WILL FOAM LIKE CRAZY in your mouth while it's killing that bacteria and you will want to rinse with water but DON"T.  Don't swallow it either.  Keep spitting.\n\nYou will just have to keep spitting out foam for about 10 minutes after you spit it out.\n\nIt is annoying but do this 3 times a day.\n\nIf your case is a typical one, it shouldn't take more than 2 days.\n\nMine always clears up in about 24 hours or less.\n\nIf this doesn't heal it, then it's something else.  THEN make an appointment with your dentist.\n\nI'm pretty sure that's what it is from your description.\n\nReally.  Get the hydrogen peroxide as soon as you can or it will get worse and take longer to heal.\n\nGood luck, from someone who knows.

Coffee, hot chocolate, and smoke are some major factors in staining teeth.  Also, aging is a factor.  The only way to keep your teeth from yellowing is to bleach them at a dentist office once in a while.  What a difference it makes!!

Yes, coffee stains the teeth, all kinds of coffee.  The newer whitening toothpastes are really good in taking care of it, though.

i had 3 wisdom tooth extracted. Yes it is quite normal for it to bleed a little after one day especially if its from the lower jaw. Semi solid foods are good...if u like porriage or soft rice. I used to drink those complete nutrition drinks like Ensure or Resourse....it taste good and a can keeps u full for about 3-4 hours. And do try to lay off the ciggies for awhile...dont think the smoke make it heal any faster. Good oral hygiene is important too...rinse with an antiseptic mouthwash 3-4 times a day especially after meals

Avoid coffee and red wine as much as possible. Both will quickly stain your teeth,Strawberries have a natural bleaching effect and are loaded with Vitamin C, so you simply can't lose. Rub the pulp over your teeth and then rinse, Brushing your teeth every 12 hours,Lemon peel massaged over the teeth is often used for whitening. Rinse thoroughly,Avoid smoking,floss at least once a day.thank you

Some whitening toothpastes are more abrasive and can wear down the enamel of your teeth causing more sensitivity. Because the enamel is being brushed away, it can also cause darkening/yellowing of the teeth since the second layer of a tooth is dentin and has a darker color.\n\nSome mouthwashes have a high content of alcohol and is not recommended for recovering alcoholics. Also, it can be very irritating and can cause the inside of your cheeks to slough off.

Avoid peroxide!! IT causes breakdown of enamel and makes them more porous! USe once or twice but not more---slippery elm has been revered for hundreds of years for its tooth whitening abilities. You can brush with powder of slippery elm, but in the old days the old timers merely used a switch of slipppery elm (peel the bark off) and rubbed their teeth clean that way. Works like a charm, will not harm enamel!\n  Also, though I wouldnt recommend, some of these old timers would push chewing tobacco into their gums (bleah!) with these switches and it would indcue what they called "rushing".\n\n   If you use chewing tobacco Id say lose the habit, mouth cancer can be fatal.......
