Hello and welcome to HCM
This is dr. Shesh Jaiswal answering your query.first of all i wud like to ask why you need to go for scaling every 3 months.is it due to bad breath or due to staining and tartar deposition on teeth.
Some of the factor like proper brushing technique and maintaing a good oral hygiene can resolve your problem.do you have any habit of smoking or chewing tobacco. if yes then plz quit the habit first.
If i were your treating doctor i wud advice you to maintain a good oral hygiene by proper brushing technique and quitting of any bad oral habit. Know about iron content of your water what you are drinking.avoid frequent intake of tea and coffee.
Hope this answers your query.take care

Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for your response. I have no any habit of smoking or chewing tobacco, but i do have habit of Tea and coffee 3 to 4 times in a day.
I didn’t feel any bad breath so far except morning when i wake-up.
I noticed yellowish scaling deposition only backside of teeth.
I wanted make sure teeth should be white, i keep going to dentist once in 6 months to de-scale.
In fact i had no proper brushing technic when i consulted first time (may be 6 years back), after that i got to know the way of brushing technic.
But last visit Dr.said Open Bite could be the reason for this.
He suggested not keep open mouth open while watching TV/working/sleeping.
But i hope could not able to follow every time this practice, other than that i have no any bad habit.
Anyway thanks for your response.
