As kids our teeth are completely & uniformly covered with an outer layer of enamel – a strong porcelain like material which serves the purpose of a protecting the layers below. As we grow older, the enamel begins to break down.  As a result, the teeth become more translucent and the yellow dentin, the colored layer beneath the enamel starts to show through. Chewing also causes the development of thousands of micro-cracks on the body of the teeth where food particles accumulate and with time form stains. Certain foods liked red wine, coffee, tea and are more prone to causing stained teeth.
