Yellow teeth: Concern or IDGAF ?

Dunno if anyone's told you, but t-shirts come in all sorts of colors these days.
I do care, but being that I've used to chew tobacco (which I've actually quit cold turkey a few years ago), plus drinking a lot of coffee, soda and everything else that rots your teeth and gums and everything else under the sun. I just brush my teeth daily. They never were "pearly whites" and always had a little tinge to them even after cleanings and all that crap. So I just accept them as they are.
Plus I hate going to the dentist period. Past few year I've had to go because of a cracked tooth, which was at some point years ago infected from the inside out and needed to be yanked. And had 2 of my 4 wisdom teeth pulled.

Luckily, the doctor gave me the choice to be shot up with novicaine and be awake for the festivities. Or put me to sleep for a little bit...which really took 10 minutes. I opted to go night night. I hate needles, especially ones that they want to jab to the roof of my mouth.

haha. Good thinkingTrader, while this ain't the answer, it might be a way to cope?

Right there with you!
The first wisdom tooth I had "pulled" took about an hour and involved a chisel and hammer. Needless to say I expect to meet that butcher in hell at a later point. Oh yeah it was massively infected and impacted to add to the joy.
I want to say up front that I do not make a cent from the sale of this stuff. I can only tell you from first-hand experience that it works: My Magic Mud.
Whereas most teeth whitening products and treatments make your teeth look artificially white, this stuff makes your teeth look naturally white.

Healthy adults don't lose their teeth. It tends to be thought of as automatic by people who have older parents/grandparents.
Back in the day, people took shitty care of their teeth. Flouride in water is relatively new. Those of us born since 1945 have had it since day 1 and it makes a big difference (you still gotta brush twice a day!).
That said, use a whitening toothpaste and preferably a whitening rinse after a cigar (non-alcohol based, since alcohol also removes the natural moisture from your mouth, and that can lead to certain cancers). See a dentist every 6-12 months. No reason your teeth have to be yellow, and no reason you ever need to have dentures. Not due to cigar smoking, anyway.

I started using something similar about three weeks ago, basically activated charcoal:
I also switched to a natural boars hair toothbrush, which is nice and scrubby and feels great. I add the tooth powder on top of a normal fluoride toothpaste and I've had awesome results. My teeth are noticeably whiter and feel really clean.

Same here, I brush about 5 times a day. Always after eating and I use the charcoal and sensodyne pronamel along with pre rinse each time.I started using something similar about three weeks ago, basically activated charcoal:

Ahhh you missed out. I had a couple wisdom teeth removed about 10 or so years ago which required oral surgery and decided to get it done in Mexico to save about $8k.
The doc gave me the same choice, and not wanting to end up in a cold bathtub and short an organ, I opted for the novocaine. He wound up giving me 5 shots, which was way too much, but I appreciated the enthusiasm.
He also gave me a mirror to hold so I could "supervise his work," which appeared to my laymen's eye to consist of cutting open the gum, poking the tooth a bit, then ripping it out with some fancy needle nose pliers. He also used a big curved fish hook-looking needle to stitch up the gums, and had me hold it for him while he snipped the thread. Kinda thought I should be getting assistant pay.
Was a neat experience, would recommend, but expect to spend a few hours in secondary coming back as it's hard to explain why you are bleeding from the mouth while being all numbed up.

Unlike teeth this thread was resurrected. Pretty sure my morning coffee does more damage than the few cigars I smoke a week.
