Foodstuffs like red wine, black tea and coffee, dark coloured berries and tumeric can all cause staining on your teeth. It's unsightly but it isn't a clinical problem because it doesn't contain bacteria. Actually it's a sign of a healthy diet. Ha, another of Nature's little jokes.
Anti-staining toothpastes are a bad idea because they're very abrasive. I do a brisk trade in repairing the damage! What to do? Use a low abrasivity toothpaste[1] and an electric toothbrush. Brush three times a day for two minutes each time.
