As I can see this is due to improper brushing
Go to dentist for scaling then use floss regularly so that in future you can avoid this

if stains are extrinsic then can be removed by scaling but if these stains are intrinsic then treatment can be complicated somehow. You should visit to dentist for proper oral examination.

Hi Go for a clinical examination, first determine whether the discoloration is extrinsic or intrinsic. If extrinsic, perform ultrasonic scaling and polishing to remove surface stains, followed by proper oral hygiene instructions and advice on avoiding staining agents (tea, coffee, tobacco, etc.). If the stains are intrinsic (such as mild fluorosis or enamel hypomineralization), consider microabrasion, bleaching, or composite veneers depending on the severity and your esthetic needs. A topical fluoride toothpaste or varnish can be used if enamel sensitivity or early demineralization is present. Get your Regular follow-up and maintenance are essential to monitor the condition.
