The best way to maintain stains and marks on your teeth is by maintaining a good oral hygiene, mainly brushing twice daily without fail, regular use of a good mouthwash and of course flossing. Also do not forget to visit your dentist twice yearly for a maintenance clean up!
Next Steps
Change brushing habits, invest in a good mouthwash and flossing kit and visit your nearest dentist for an oral prophylaxis (scaling)!
Health Tips
Word of caution: Yellowish discolouration of teeth does not always mean accumulation of plaque(dirt). It can have various underlying factors such as dietary habits, age, oral habits,etc. It’s always better to get it checked out by your dentist.

Hi! 😊
Yellow stains are quite common and can be easily treated. Usually, scaling and polishing help remove surface stains and bring back your natural shine.
If you want an even brighter shade, teeth whitening (bleaching) can be done safely at the clinic.
Scaling & Polishing: ₹1500–₹3000
Whitening/Bleaching: ₹7000–₹10000
Maintain good oral hygiene and limit tea, coffee, or tobacco to keep your smile bright!

Teeth can be whiten by scaling and polishing. Most of the times scaling + polishing is enough for teeth whitening. Sometimes even bleaching is needed to remove stains which are not getting away by scaling and polishing.
These rates are highly dependent on place , clinic type , doctors qualification and few more things
Scaling + polishing - 1000 to 3000
Bleaching - 10000- 20000

Dear, yellowish stains on teeth are commonly caused by food and beverage deposits that accumulate on the plaque layer over time. I would recommend visiting your nearest dental clinic for a Full Mouth Oral Prophylaxis (FMOP) a routine dental cleaning procedure.
This includes scaling, polishing, flossing, gum care, and fluoride application, which together help remove surface stains, improve gum health, and prevent further discoloration.
If you havenât had a dental cleaning in the past six months, itâs especially advisable.
After a thorough examination, your dentist can also suggest teeth whitening options if needed, depending on the nature and depth of your stains.

Yellowish discoloration and stains on teeth are quite common and can result from coffee, tea, smoking, or natural enamel aging. The treatment depends on whether the stains are external (surface level) or internal (within the enamel).
Generally, the following steps help restore brightness:
Professional Cleaning and Polishing:
This removes external stains, tartar, and plaque buildup. Itâs painless and often brings back much of the natural shine immediately.
Teeth Whitening (Bleaching):
If a lighter shade is desired, whitening can be done using in-clinic laser or Zoom whitening to get visible results within an hour.
Itâs best to get a quick dental shade check first to confirm whether simple cleaning is enough or if whitening would help achieve the desired brightness
