Hiii. Good morning. May be the stains will be extrinsic and discolorations seen. Do scaling once and follow up a scaling after three months to maintain the oral hygiene. After that you can do scaling once a year or six months once. I advice flossing and interdental brushing after scaling. Thank you.

Always remember
scaling and polishing will never create gaps in the teeth.
Scaling and polishing will never cut the gums.
There is a reason why
1. The instrument that is used to do scaling is a vibrating machine, it vibrates at 120000 rpm i.e speed and some even more. So a vibrating instrument will only vibrate the calculus which you call tartar, and thus the calculus get removed.
2. The instrument that is used to do scaling has no cutting surface, so in no way it can cut gum...more

Hello. Welcome to Lybrate. If you feel like the color doesn't match with adjacent teeth, you can do restoration again. Check if you have any discomfort regarding the filling done. Do you feel any sensitivity. There are possibilities for this. So verify it. If you have further doubts. You can ask me. Thank you.

Plaque is not removed regularly by tooth brushing and flossing, it hardens to create calculus (also known as tartar). Calculus cannot be removed with a toothbrush; only a dental professional can remove it during an oral cleaning.
There are certain mineral combos those are used for cleaning teeth effectively but can not clean to the extent of removing thick tartar or stone.

hello lybrate user...
I advice you to take gradually reduce the pan masala and tobacco..
I Suggest you to do scaling..
then brush twice a day..
use dental floss.
use mouth wash..
after scaling, the calculus and mild stains will be removed..
if the stains wasn't removed means, bleaching has to be done..
the sensitivity will go after scaling..
regarding tooth paste, you can use sensodent... or other related tooth pastes..
