Brownish tinge appearing on teeth
I have done scaling on November 2017. But now only I am seeing brownish appearance on my teeth. It hasnt turned black, but its becoming brown and is not going off with brushing. I brush twice daily and I use chlorhexidine mouthwash about once every week. Do I need to do scaling again?

One of the side effects of Chlorhexidine mouth wash is brown staining if you use it for more than 2 weeks period. Discontinue use of Chlorhexidine and get a scaling done again. Chlorhexidine stains do not reduce by tooth brushing.
