What Causes Tooth Discoloration?

Even the most diligently brushed teeth will begin to show stains over time. Yellowing occurs as porous tooth enamel absorbs stains. Many things can lead to tooth discoloration. What you drink can certainly have an impact on the appearance of your teeth. Colored beverages like soft drinks, red wine, and coffee or tea can lead to yellowing.
