Is It To Be Concerned About The Blackening Of The Teeth?

I was cleaning my teeth and i noticed some of my bottom front teeth are turning black around the edges....i'm a health nut so i don't eat a lot of sugar just in my coffee and i don't smoke but my mom does and i live with her. I have a permanent retainer on these teeth...i'm really worried my teeth are rotting...
