Can food build up on back of tongue lead to discolored teeth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely.: Teeth become discolored because of deep colors of certain types of food, beverages, smoking, genetics, aging and also from tarter buildup on your teeth, which stain very easily. To find out more about this, i would strongly suggest that you have that conversation with your dentist.

So I have an issue. Some of the back teeth in my lower jaw on the left side hurts if I chew down on food or if I brush my tongue on it. It happens for a day, stops for a few weeks, then picks back up. It's not a sharp pain, more like a dull pinching pain.
