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.
