In fact, if you brush too hard to remove the stains, you may irreparably damage your gums and enamel. To remove the stains, you can book an appointment with a dental hygienist who can use a range of methods to effectively and most importantly, safely remove them. You may be recommended to have an air-polish treatment which involves using a polishing power to remove the stains. This is the best method of stain removal on the market.
