Black/Yellow lines on most of the teeth
Hello. My mother has got these black/yellow lines on almost all the teeth. They have been for several days now. To give you some context, she does not smoke/drink etc and regularly brushes her teeth. Attached is a photo. It's not very clear but all her teeth including the back ones and black lines. What could be the reason for this?

Dear practo user
Its just deposits on the teeth surface, which cannot be removed just by brushing. Only consulting a dentist and getting scaling done will remove those stains. Deposits and stains are caused due to extrinsic factors, in persons who do not follow meticulous oral hygiene. Anything like coffee, tea, chocolates can cause stains.
Next Steps
get scaling done regularly
Health Tips
follow your dentists suggestions for following a strict oral hygiene routine. This will prevent deposit formation.
