Dental stains can occur on the teeth due to various factors and and after a while the color of each person's teeth begins to change. Discoloration of the spots can occur in the internal structure of the tooth, or usually on the outside. The internal discoloration corresponds to the spots that have affected the inside of the tooth. This happens due to the intake of medications or excessive intake of fluoride during the formation of teeth in the womb.
