How Can Tobacco Addiction Be Withdrawn?
Hello, It will not cause permanent staining of teeth and more importantly, it may cause oral cancer as well. You can try nicotine chewing gum or drugs like buspirone. Consult a physician or de-addiction center and he will direct you accordingly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
