Like yellow or white stipes on their teeth.? Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Discolorations can be caused from everyday habits like drinking soda, smoking, eating acidic foods will stain teeth too. As far as white marks on teeth, it can be caused from a few things, too much fluoride as a child, not taking care of teeth when a person has braces, or even a weak spot in the enamel. It is also possible to get intrinsic stain (stains on the inside of your teeth) by antibiotics mothers took when they were pregnant (tetracycline) this stain is usually grey in color and is very difficult to bleach out.

High doses of antibiotics in childhood and high flouride content in the municipal drinking water could contribute to the discoloration.
