I'm getting my teeth bleached by the dentist soon, and my teeth are stained from not taking care of them from when I was young, like I never brushed them at all, and the stains are kinda yellowish brown, will bleaching get rid of these stains and are they tetracycline stains?

The only reason you would have tetracycline stains is if you took the medication when you were a child or if your mother took it while she was pregnant with you. I'm thinking that your teeth will lighten with the whitening process or you're dentist wouldn't have recommended it. Good luck

If bleaching (almost) does not work it was the tetracycline. Else it was coffee, tea, smoking.
