Surface-stain heads may clean coffee discoloration but are not bleaching treatments.

What matters for this question
- Coffee discoloration on exposed tooth surfaces is different from the natural shade of a tooth. A polishing head has a limited surface-cleaning purpose.
- Keep the pressure gentle and check bristle softness if your mouth is sensitive. A whitening name is not a reason to buy an incompatible connector.
How to apply it
Look for the manufacturer’s wording about a polishing cup or surface-stain design, then compare the bristle feel and fitting handle. Surface stains can recur with everyday habits, so a static product claim should not be read as a lasting shade guarantee. If a stain is unusual or persistent, ask a dentist.
