How can I remove stains from my teeth?

Teeth are very important and can help people chew food. Only with good teeth can one have a good appetite. People should have 28-32 teeth. Showing eight teeth when smiling is the most standard. White and bright teeth are a key element of a person's good image. However, if there are stains on the teeth, it is very embarrassing and gives people the impression that you are unhygienic. But even if you brush your teeth every day, you cannot remove the stains on your teeth. What should you do?

The bacteria in tooth stains are mainly streptococci and anaerobic bacteria that exist in the normal oral cavity. When tooth stains accumulate to a certain thickness, the bacteria inside close to the tooth surface begin to switch to anaerobic respiration because they are isolated from the air. The acid produced here by anaerobic respiration cannot be washed away by saliva in time, so it will corrode the mineral components in the enamel and further promote the formation of caries. Stains that accumulate at the root of the teeth can also irritate the gums and lead to periodontal diseases such as periodontitis. Therefore, tooth stains must be removed as soon as possible.
