Get your teeth cleaned
Staining can be extrinsic or intrinsic. Extrinsic is caused by staining liquids, food, smoking, or any other factors that stain the enamel. Intrinsic are associated with trauma, medications taken by your mother during development, high fluoride in drinking water, etc.
Proper diagnosed by your dentist is needed to establish the cause and nature of your staining. The dentist can then evaluate for cleaning, whiteing with bleaching agents, or covering enamel with filling or veneer material.

To get rid of stains you can see your dentist and have your teeth cleaned. To keep these brown stains from forming I have a question to ask? Did you have these stains before? When you were growing up, were you on tetracycline? If the answer is no, then to keep these stains from forming you have to remove the plaque that forms on your teeth every day. Plaque is a sticky mass of bacteria that forms on our teeth. Whether we eat or not plaque forms every day.
You have calcium in your saliva and the calcium will become tartar. Tartar and plaque are two different layers that form. Plaque crystallizes between 24-48 hours. Plaque can penetrate tartar and move to get on your tooth surface.
There the bacteria, living and dead, rotting food particles, toxic waste from bacteria, and living and dead fighting cells your body sends to fight the bacteria. Plaque irritates your gumline
tissues and ATTACHED GINGIVA that is 2-3 millimeters wide. This precious ATTACHED GINGIVA prevents food particles from going down towards your roots of your teeth. Plaque on your teeth has bacteria living and dead and their acids attacking the enamel on your teeth leaving those white spots. White spots can form
at your gumline or anywhere on your teeth. These white spots are weakened areas that can become cavities. You have to floss your teeth correctly and brush your teeth correctly daily.
You want to brush the areas on your teeth gently
and a little longer. You want clean your tongue with a tongue cleaner. You take your tongue cleaner and place it in the middle of your tongue. You go back as far as you can without gagging. In one stroke move your tongue cleaner forward and out of your mouth. You will
see a slimy whitish mass of material. This is what was hiding out in the nooks and crannies of your tongue. Rinse your tongue cleaner off and scrape the other two sides. When you are finished rinse your mouth with warm salt water, and then gargle with the salt water. You also can try taking a half teaspoon of baking soda and a few drops of coconut oil. You place the baking soda in your hand and add the few drops of coconut oil and brush your teeth. This can prevent plaque from attaching to the tooth surfaces. You can also zest a lemon. Take a 1/4
teaspoon of the zest-- take the teaspoon of baking soda, the coconut oil, and add the 1/4 teaspoon of lemon zest and brush your teeth.
If you have enough zest, you can dry the zest and store it in a small jar. You can use the added zest 2-3 times a week. Coconut oil can be bought at the grocery store. It may be white and
looks like vegetable shortening
Coconut oil becomes a clear oil around 76 degrees. You can take a teaspoon of coconut oil
and place it in a plastic cup and place it in warm water, it will become a liquid oil quickly..
Flossing and brushing correctly daily is the best way to control gum disease. It should also keep those brown stains away. If you are a smoker,
think what smoking does to your teeth. What is smoking doing to your mouth tissues, your throat
Membranes and your lungs. The nicotine is also
Affecting your esophagus, stomach, bladder and kidneys.
