Hi,
Get yourself examined by a dentist. If needed he/ she will do professional cleaning and polishing and prescribe necessary medicated aids.
Next Steps
Meanwhile, keep brushing twice daily, keep your tongue clean too, floss after every meal, and rinse your mouth with water after every meal. This will help in keeping food particles away from your mouth.

First and foremost thing which u can do is rinse your mouth properly after every meal or u can say after eating anything. There is a deposition of a white invisible material called plaque on the tooth surface . It has to be cleaned. You can visit a dentist every 6-12 months for scaling/cleaning. Use a mouthwash. Brushing at night time after meals is very important
Health Tips
Rinsing with lukewarm water with salt will help u
