Tea, Smoking, ...: Medications, and certain mouthwashes. And then again teeth stain naturally over time. Have your dentist take a look.

Food stains on teeth: If you are a smoker, the answer is nicotine. Non-smokers also accumulate stains, but at a slower rate. In addition to coffee, tea, red wine, berries, or any other dark-colored substance can cause stains. Acidic foods and drinks are worse, because they soften enamel making it stain more easily. This type of staining responds very well to professional teeth whitening from your dentist.

Can food cause stained teeth? I don't drink coffee or smoke, but still think I have fairly stained teeth. Are there any types of food that cause stained teeth more than others? Maybe it's my diet.
