Hi! If whitening toothpastes haven’t worked, the discoloration may be internal or due to enamel thinning. In such cases, toothpaste alone won’t help. Please avoid home remedies like lemon, baking soda, or charcoal — they can damage the enamel and make sensitivity or discoloration worse. It’s best to visit a dental clinic for proper treatment. Options like professional teeth whitening or veneers give much safer and longer-lasting results.

Hello
Sometimes the stain that tooth shows are from inside and despite you using any whitening toothpaste they won't be removed . Whitening toothpaste sometimes help with stains which are taken up by the tooth on the exterior surface.
For best whitening result you should consult a dentist so that they can assess better and give you appropriate treatment . Dont use remedies on your know that several times leads to wear off your tooth structure .
Next Steps
consult to a dentist
