Talk to experienced dentist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Looking at the details provided, I want to ask if you are prescribed any iron syrups or any other medicated syrup. Do you use any mouthwash regularly? If none of the above apply then it's probably because your oral flora is chromogenic which causes such stains.
Next Steps
Regular prophylaxis by a professional will only help in that case.

Now according to whatever you said it may be due the deposits of chromogenic Bacteria present in the oral cavity. Treatment for this is cleaning. Brush twice daily with regular soft toothbrush n toothpaste. Visit the nearby dentist for regular scaling. (Once in 6months is ideal time) but consult a dentist and plan accordingly
