That's odd as my dentist regularly gets on my case about staining and just assumes I have a 20-40 a day cig habit (do you smoke?, no, yeah right) but I daren't share with her I use snus as she would most probably be most misinformed on it but alongside that she reguarly complements me on what good nick my gums and teeth are in Do use a whitening toothpaste twice a day along with mouthwash and floss but just can't seem to get rid of the staining. Maybe it's something else, coffee, spicy food....

Might just be your teeth. Some people are more susceptible to staining. I don't do anything special, and I'd consider my teeth normal. Not bizarrely bright white, but not stained either.

Would also add I used to get it in the neck about plaque build-up, had the occaisonal cavity and used to get a lot of colds but nothing since I started using snus about 5-6 years ago

In other words, snus helps prevent gum recession?

No, it just makes it more fun

My plaque buildup isn't nearly as bad since snus either. When I was smoking full time, I had a white bump under my tongue that the dentist was slightly concerned about. He was keeping an eye on it, but when i switched to snus, it disappeared. He's pretty reasonable about snus too. I don't hear any guff over it, and his only advice is to change my snus spot every so ofter(I usually don't :^D). No speeches about my head falling off or anything like that :^)

Yeah my dentist would probably tell me my head was going to fall off if I discussed snus with her

I know what you mean about your favourite snus spot but I do try to vary it where I can

Some antibiotics are reputed to be teeth-stainers, especially at a young age.

For instance:

"What Causes Tetracycline Stain on Teeth

Tetracycline is an antibiotic. It's a fairly powerful antibiotic that kills a broad spectrum of bacteria, and it can be life-saving. However, when it is taken while teeth are forming, it deposits in the dentin and enamel of the teeth and creates a permanent gray or brown stain. It can be a uniform discoloration of the entire tooth or can occur in the form of horizontal bands of stain of varying intensity. They can range from mild to very dark.
