A question about teeth? what causes stains on the enamel in kids?

Depends.: Intrinsic stain (within the tooth) can be caused by high fever during tooth formation, meds taken during tooth formation or developmental problem (genetics). Extrinsic (surface stain) stain can be caused by foods, such as coffee, cola, grape juice etc combined with poor brushing habits.
