I am a smoker and a red wine drinker and the porcelain veneers that i got late nov 2008 have turned yellow

Q. I have had 2 veneers on my front teeth. i am a smoker and a red wine drinker. i have cut down on the red wine or i will have it through a straw, because my two front teeth have already turned a yellow colour i had the treatment done late nov 2008. i clean twice a day but they are still going a nasty colour and people have remarked now i hate smiling. What can i do ????????

A.

Porcelain veneers shouldnt stain so quickly so maybe check with your dentist if there is a problem. the best stain removal you can get at home are sonic toothbrushes, Phillips Sonicare or Oral B sonic. Any decent toothpaste should be OK
