If after scaling ,stains went ,they were extrinsic stains. Follow 2-2-2 rule .. brush twice a day ,for 2 minutes and visit dentist twice a year for scaling and general check up !!
Health Tips
Drink water after drinks to avoid staining as we can’t avoid tea ,coffee etc

Intrinsic stains don't go by just scaling and polishing, however polishing can reduce its shade slightly. Intrinsic stains needs bleaching . extrinsic stains can be prevented by regular scaling and polishing at least once a year. However with good oral hygiene practise , you can definitely slow up it's progression.
