chemical substances. This lead to deposition of various kind of
stains on it. Some stains are external while some stains percolates
through micro-cracks in teeth and become internal stains

External stains: Tea, coffee tobacco food products etc

with water spray but this only causes removal of external
stains.This causes less sensitivity and pain. Scaling usually is
advised once a year. Scaling is a simple painless process and helps in maintaining a good oral hygiene.
