Intrinsic staining is sometimes present even before your teeth erupt from your gums when you\u2019re a kid.<\/p><p>These stains can result from antibiotic use, high levels of fluoride exposure, and your tooth enamel growing thinner as you age. Intrinsic staining can sometimes even be genetic, according to\u00a0<a class=\"content-link css-5r4717\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4058574\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2014 research<span class=\"css-1mdvjzu icon-hl-trusted-source-after\"><span class=\"sro\">Trusted Source<\/span><\/span><\/a>.<\/p><h3><b>Extrinsic stains<\/b><\/h3><p>Extrinsic stains are on the outside of your tooth. These happen due to environmental exposure to things that leave discoloration on your tooth enamel.
