Extrinsic stains can definitely be removed.

If there is deposit around your tooth. Kindly get it removed as your gums may swell and rest. Bleeding gums may happen to you and as far as dark stains are concerned. If oral hygiene matters to you, you may get it removed.

Hello, Yeah it is good and advisable to get those dark borders which are nothing but calcified deposits which need to be removed for maintaining your oral hygiene.
Scaling should be done once in a year and it is not harmful.
Thanks
