Staining of teeth due to Mouth wash can be due to some Mouth wash which contains some pigments. The mouth wash stain can be easily removed by scaling. Not to worry.

Hi Ma'am. This tooth seems to have lost its vitality. That means it requires an x-ray to be done. If its a dead tooth then a root canal treatment Will be required. If its not then cleaning and polishing will solve the problem.You can practo consult for detailed treatment plan and discussion via phonecall.Regards.

Yellowing of teeth can also occur due to the mouth wash you may be using. Nothing to worry. These are superficial stains and will be removed by cleaning
Health Tips
Tell your dentist to prescribe a different mouthwash that will not cause staining
