What Causes Browning Of Teeth?

on the left side of my mouth one of my molars and the smaller tooth in front of it have brown at the base of the tooth near the gum line. I am not a smoker, got to the dentist faithfully (every 6 months), do not use a tooth whitener, am normal weight, eat extremely healthy and drink 8-10 oz bottled water a day. I do have an occasional glass of red wine in the evening. Why are my teeth turning brown?

Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

Its good that you maintain your oral health well.

The symptoms you have mentioned suggest either the teeth getting decayed in that area (cervical caries) or it can be abrasion lesions if you are applying too much pressure in that area while brushing.

It can also be stains which can be reviewed by your dentist.

I would advice you to visit your dentist and get it filled and that will fine after the filling.

Hope this was useful.

Thanks and regards.Any further query is always welcome.
