Hello ma’am
If it’s an external stain which have developed with time then it can be removed by a treatment which is known as full mouth scaling and polishing (cleaning of teeth in dental office) but if it’s an internal stain which you are seeing since you have got your permanent teeth then it needs other treatment (like bleaching or laminates) cleaning will not help.
Next Steps
I would advice to see a dentist for proper clinical examination.
