Enamel in its healthy state is very beautiful and is part of the beauty of being human.

Why does the enamel of our teeth darken?

Enamel darkens due to prolonged exposure to tannins, which are those stain-producing molecules found in tobacco, coffee, wine, and many foods. If the enamel is healthy it should not stain as much, but when it has cracks, erosion, fractures, it stains faster and it is more difficult to remove the stains. Also blows to the teeth, poorly performed endodontic treatments can internally pigment the tooth, which will be noticed as a dark or black color. Amalgam restorations can permanently stain the enamel.
