Hello, iron supplement stains are common
Since scaling only provides a temporary fix for you, we need to look at why the stains return so quickly.
Next Steps
I recommend a professional Air Polishing session (using a prophy jet), which is often more effective for deep extrinsic stains than regular scaling. If the stains are very deep, composite veneering or bonding on the front surface can provide a long-term aesthetic solution.
Health Tips
Try drinking your iron supplements with a straw to avoid direct contact with front teeth, and rinse your mouth immediately after every use.

Hi
This type of black staining due to iron deposits is quite common.Even after cleaning, it can come back because the root cause is still present.
Tooth Scaling is the best and safest way to remove it. Laser won’t help much and composite bonding is only needed in severe cases. With proper brushing and regular cleaning. We can control it effectively
Next Steps
