3.Berries

The strong colors in raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, and cranberries, paired with the acidity of the fruits, can cause staining whether they’re eaten whole, as a jam or jelly, or as a juice.

4.Citrus fruits

Like tomato and lemon because of their acidic nature they tend to open up the pores in your teeth exposing the inside layer which is dentin and which is yellow in color. Even the pizza sauce or the spaghetti sauce can also actually stain your teeth.

5.Red wine OR White wine

This may turn the teeth in shades of grey. These grey stains are even   harder to whiten than yellow stains.
