I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
If you're sure that the staining is caused by the foods or beverages you're consuming, there's a simple home remedy that can often help whiten them again. Mix baking soda and water, and brush your teeth with it every few days to supplement your typical oral care routine.
Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
