[Question] I'm curious about how to prevent and manage tooth discoloration.

Recently, I had scaling done and some of the discolored parts between the teeth and some of the roots were removed.

They said it seemed to be discolored by coffee or food.

It didn't make my teeth as white as if I had whitened them, but it did brighten the color a bit, which was nice.

It hasn't even been a month yet, but it looks like it's turned a little yellow.

I drink coffee quite often, but I always rinse my mouth right afterward. It's probably hard to give up coffee because of the staining on my teeth.

How can I prevent tooth discoloration?

Will it get any better if I use whitening toothpaste consistently?

What are some things I should be careful about to prevent teeth from discoloring?
