Sometimes you will see staining from tabacco, coffee, tea. Too, wine can really stain as well. Don't know if any of those other things I listed apply to you, but they can be a culprit.

On your last prophy, did the hygienist mention an accumulation of stains?  For instance, I drink smoothies for breakfast which have bluberries in them. My teeth really started staining as a result, so I have to stay on top of it now.

You most likely can call your dentist office and discuss this with your dentist/hygienist and see what their chart notes are. They may recommend a specific toothpaste or mouthwash. Too, they may bump up your recall and see you sooner if it is an issue.
