Chlorhexidine mouth was should be used in a very mild dose. You need not use it reqularly. Please stop it use for now. And after sometime you can go for another scaling.

Mouthwash you have to not use frequently, because it has a adverse effect on your teeth as you said. For whitning off your teeth you have to go for bleaching.
