How do you get rid of nicotine stains on teeth?

Update:

I got the stains & then got acrylic put on my teeth for Braces.

When I got the Braces off, the stains were BEHIND the acrylic.

Now that I don't have braces or acrylic, I was wondering the there was any household stuff that would take the stains away. Thanks.

    Get your teeth cleaned first, then get a whitening treatment done. Or, try a slightly abrasive toothpaste, or just a simple baking soda, and peroxide paste (you can make this at home). Also, staining is the least of you worries! Smoking causes far worse gum problems. Have you ever noticed that older smokers tend to be missing teeth. It's not just a coincidence! Smoking causes periodontal disease, which causes your teeth to become loose and eventually fall out. And it's gross and really bad for your health. You should quit smoking!

    A good quality whitening toothpaste and a better oral hygiene routine will more than likely help you to resolve this. But this staining is what you can see, it is the well established staining at the back of your teeth that you cannot see that you will also need to make and effort with. When you stand above a smoker and talk to them you can see the staining!

    First, stop smoking and cut back on caffeinated drinks (such as coffe or coke). Then check with your dentist. Good Luck!
