As natural teeth age, they begin to darken largely due to:
Retraction of the pulp or dental nerve.
Tooth enamel wear.
However, they can also be obscured for other reasons, for our diet, for bad habits or for other reasons. Let's see what they are:
Different types of stains on the teeth:
Food stains
Drinks such as red wine, tea, coffee or cola, foods with strong colors, such as beets, some types of red meat, sweets and sauces such as ketchup or mustard

In addition to bad habits and diet, teeth can also darken and / or stain due to the intake of tetracycline, which we find in some medications and, above all, due to an excess of fluorine.
