Your first step should be to ease off the tea. It will stain your teeth, and no matter what you do, they'll keep staining. Once you've eased off, try whitening. Either in office or over-the-counter. The OTC whiteners aren't going to work as well as the whitening you'll receive in a dental office, but if you're strapped for cash, they're definitely an alternative. But, they'll just continue to stain unless you stop with tea, coffee, smoking or anything else you could be doing that is contributing to the stain...

There are tons of whitening options out now - you can pick some whitening products up at your local drugstore, like crest white strips.  You could also opt to get a laser procedure or get a professional whitening kit - which of course would be quite pricey.  If you aren't looking to spend too much money you can try baking soda and peroxide and brush your teeth with it, or just pick up some whitening strips which aren't expensive.

"The best home methods are baking soda or hydrogen peroxide. "\n\nBaking soda can really ruin your teeth over time because it's\nso gritty. \n\nHydrogen Peroxide is a 'bleach'. Many dentists and their assistants will recommend hydrogen peroxide to you.\n\nI have been told however that the problem with hydrogen peroxide is that it will turn your tongue brown. Your tongue has these little hairs on it. The hydrogen peroxide aids in their growth.\n\nIf you want a little furry rug on your tongue then go the hydrogen peroxide route. \n\nNeither method is a suitable replacement for brushing your teeth\nand flossing.\n\n" eating fresh crunchy veggies and fruits such as: carrots, broccoli, celery, apples, strawberries, and cucumbers can help whiten your teeth. I've worked in the dental field for years and have seen many teeth damaged because people thought that brushing with baking soda or eating lemons whitened their teeth."\n\nhttp://www.otan.dni.us/webfarm/emailproject/white.htm

Homemade Teeth Whiteners\n\nWhitener / Cleanser - 1\nBaking soda, 1 teaspoon\nHydrogen peroxide, a few drops\nMix the two ingredients and use as a paste on your teeth and gums two times a week.\n\nTooth Whitener / Cleanser - 2\nBaking soda, 3 teaspoon\nTable salt, 1 teaspoon\nMix the two ingredients and use as a tooth powder.\n\nWarning\nYou should never use lemon/lime juice for teeth whitening. Chewable vitamin C tablets with or without sugar are acidic and are a hazard for not only children’s teeth but also to adult's teeth. Do not use lemon juice for whitening because vitamin C will cause the teeth to lose calcium, damaging teeth quicker than anything else.

There are some really good whitening products available through your dentist.  Opalescence is a good one.  It takes a little longer for tetracycline staining than for regular stains but the wait is worth it.  Some say do veneers but they are expensive and only last 5 to 10 yrs last i heard. We're talking 5to 600 a tooth.

Get ZOOM whitening from the dentist if you can afford it. They use that on all the makeover shows. If you gotta go low budget, use Crest whitening strips....they work too!!! But you have to use them everyday!!

mix lemon juice and baking soda and brush your teeth with it,this really works after u have brushed your teeth with the mixture, brush with regular toothpaste do this 1-2 times a week and on the days that u do not brush with the mixture, sprinkle some salt onto your toothpaste

Be very careful with the sort of cleaning you do. Discolouration can be either from external sources, like food or drink, or from excess brushing, or brushing with some whitening toothpastes. These can be quite abrasive, and added to frequency or pressure applied by a toothbrush, can wear the white enamel from your teeth and show the yellow dentine underneath, giving the impression of discoloured teeth. It's important to discern the actual cause of your discolouration, before going out to try and remove it.

Whitening toothpaste will not actually whiten your teeth... at best, it may remove some of the extrinsic stains on your teeth caused by such things as smoking or drinking coffee, tea and dark colas.  It is not advised to use it because it is very abrasive and can potentially damage the enamel of your teeth.

Bleaching ...I hade my teeth bleached  and they look ok,,,and then take great care to keep them that way..\n\nTooth bleaching, also known as tooth whitening, is a common procedure in general dentistry but most especially in the field of cosmetic dentistry. Many people consider white teeth to be an attractive feature of a smile. A child's deciduous teeth (milk teeth) are generally whiter than the adult teeth that follow. As a person ages the adult teeth often increase in value, that is to say they become darker. This darkening is due to changes in the mineral structure of the tooth, as the enamel becomes less porous. Teeth can also become stained by bacterial pigments, foodstuffs and tobacco.\n\nAs white teeth are subconsciously associated with youth, they have become desirable. This has been made more apparent with the spread of American culture worldwide, where an especially white smile is coined, a "Hollywood smile". The procedure to bleach teeth uses oxidising agents such as hydrogen peroxide to lighten the shade of the tooth. The oxidising agent penetrates the porosities in the rod-like crystal structure of enamel and oxidises interprismatic stain deposits, over a period of time, the dentine layer, lying underneath the enamel, is also bleached.\n\nThere are two main methods of bleaching. The first involves applying a high concentration of oxidising agent for a short period of time (the so called office bleach). This produces quick results but risks chemical burns to the soft tissues. Therefore most in-office bleaching procedures utilize a light-cured protective layer that is carefully painted on the gums and papilla (the tips of the gums between the teeth). The bleaching agent used here is either carbamide peroxide, which breaks down in the mouth to form hydrogen peroxide, or hydrogen peroxide itself. The bleaching gel typically contains up to 35% hydrogen peroxide equivalent.\n\nThe alternative method involves using a thin mouthguard or strip to hold a low concentration of oxidising agent next to the teeth for as long as several hours a day for a period of 5 to 14 days. This is known as take-home or OTC (over-the-counter) bleaching. This is a slower process but has lower risks to the soft tissues. The bleaching agent is typically less than 10% hydrogen peroxide equivalent

You need to make sure that you are flossing everyday and you are getting your teeth cleaned every 6 months. You could do salt water rinse. Part warm water, part salt, do not swallow.
