Behind my bottom teeth, I have brown/yellow stains!
I drink a lot of tea and smoke. But how do I get rid of them?
God knows if I have them behind my top teeth as well; I just can't see in the mirror.

And to answer the other 9000 questions you will ask, a little chuckle...
You can get toothpastes that claim to remove stains (Pearl Drops, etc), but I don't know how well they work. Plus if you carry on doing tooth-stainy things, they'll just get stained again.
Other than that, your best bet is the dentist for a good, old-fashioned scale and polish :thumb:
Teeth stains can be such a pain and it's annoying when it feels like there's no 'quick fix'!
This article on TheSite.org gives some dental advice - it mentions bleaching your teeth, which you may be interested in. I'd recommend booking an appointment with a dentist to see what they suggest.
Let us know how you get on!
If not, I'll just ask about them at my next dental check-up.

and round of applause to you too, m'dear.

Having said that, I do try to look after my teeth. As well as smokers' toothpaste, I would recommend getting yourself an inexpensive electric (or battery-operated) toothbrush. They do a much better job than an ordinary toothbrush. Oral B Vitality brushes come up on special offer from time to time. We got ours for about £12 ea. You might need to change the plug on the recharging base though, if you don't have a shaver socket in your bathroom.
this is almost as sad as me getting excited about 'word of the day' on dictionary.com :P
lyric can you cut down on the cigs or tea if you think those are the cause? im currently trying to have tea without sugar now, graaaaadually g etting used to it
Will the stains on the backs of my teeth come off though if I scrub them with an electric toothbrush and smokers' toothpaste or do I need dental help?
You. go. to. the. dentist.
Dentist says "omg what horrible stains you have"
You say "oh, dentist, I know, please scrub them off for me. Will it hurt?"
Dentist says "no, no, you silly muffin."
You leave with a white smile.
2 years later you ask us again why you have more stains and how you can get rid of them.
Reaction of the board: :banghead:
The good news is that once the dentist has removed the plaque, it should be possible to keep your teeth nice and clean by brushing morning and night. An electric toothbrush will certainly help to keep your teeth and gums healthy. Flossing between your teeth will also help the plaque coming back.
