Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Consult a dentist and get a dental scaling (oral prophylaxis) done. It will clear your calculus or stains. Also, get dental bleaching done by a dentist, which will make your teeth to look white and shiny. You can also use toothpaste with ingredients Sodium monofluorophosphate and Calcium peroxide fused with Lemon regularly on alternate days. It will keep your teeth bright. One thing, you need to remember is that most of the shining kinds of toothpaste have more quantity of abrasives. It can lead to specific damage to the enamel of the teeth.
