Dear practo user
Stains on teeth keep forming, irrespective of the number of times you get scaling done. It all depends on the quality of brushing and other dietary habits. Tea or coffee, carbonated beverages, chocolates, anything can cause stains.
Next Steps
clarify the cause of stains from your dentist

Cleaning (scaling and polishing) is normally adviced every 6 months. The main reason probably is improper brushing in the inner surfaces of teeth.ask you doctor to demonstrate proper technique of brushing and flossing . And irrespective of deposits and stains, get cleaning done twice in a year.
Next Steps
Visit dentist for scaling & polishing.
