Helloi have gone through your query.discoloration of teeth can be due to various reasons.in your case the antibiotics tetracycline and doxycycline are known to discolor teeth when given to child Chat Doctor.  Mouth rinses and washes containing chlorhexidine and cetylpyridinium chloride can also stain teeth. As you age, the outer layer of enamel on your teeth gets worn away revealing the natural yellow color of dentin. Excessive fluoride either from environmental sources (naturally high fluoride levels in water) can also discolor the teeth. Poor oral hygiene can also lead to yellowness of teeth. But you don't have to worry. You can go for certain procedures to fix this problem
