What causes teeth to stain?

There are a number of reasons why teeth stain. The main reasons why teeth stain is related to lifestyle and dietary choices. Excessive drinking of coffee and tea products, red wine, soft drinks and smoking all play a role in the yellowing and staining of healthy teeth. Old age also plays a role as the whiteness of our enamel decreases as we age.

Patients also report tooth discolouration from Tetracycline and related antibiotics. Tetracycline causes teeth to turn a typically blue-grey or yellow-brown colour.
