Based on the image, the discoloration appears to be extrinsic staining. The recommended first step is oral prophylaxis including scaling and polishing. After stain removal, the tooth shade can be reassessed. If aesthetic concern persists, options like bleaching or cosmetic corrections may be considered. A clinical examination is essential to confirm the diagnosis and plan treatment.
