    Hello jiangting

    We have 2 types of tooth discolorations

    First 1 : external stains... and this type we can remove it by simple polishing and scaling .

    Second 1 : internal stains... this type caused by systemic factors ( like flourosis stains ) and we treat this type by bleaching or veneer layer

    You should to visit a dental clinic to determine stain type .
