3 months back I had tartar on my entire teeth and I went to the dentist and scaling was done. After scaling I could still notice little stains on my teeth. I consulted my dentist and she told me that only that much could be removed. I wanted to ask that if I again go for scaling, will I have to repeatedly do this every 4-5 months? Please help me with this as it's taking an emotional trauma on me.

Visit a dentist every six months for cleaning and a thorough dental check-up. Limit sugary food to avoid tooth decay. Gargle your mouth thoroughly after every meal. Scrub gently to clean your tongue with a tongue cleaner. Floss all your teeth inter dentally & brush twice daily, morning & night, up & down short vertical strokes, with ultra-soft bristles, indicator brush. Tooth brush to be changed every 2 months.

If you brush twice daily at night and avoid coloured food stuff this may not be required.
