Yes!: The longer "Tarter" remains on your teeth, the darker (even almost black) it can become. As "Tarter" is porus, it will absorb the stains and colors of what you eat. So, yes to your question. The solution is regular visits to your dentist and excellent home oral hygiene.

Yes: And the longer it's on your teeth, the more gum recession it causes. Tarter (calcified bacterial accretions) can discolor from the food/beverages you consume, from chromogenic bacteria, and from smoking. Please see your Dentist for removal and for proper oral hygiene instructions.
