my teeth are browning, I have no idea why...

A tooth on the bottom row has a small brown spot. And a tooth on my top row has brown all along the gum line on the tooth, it is starting to fucking spread too. I don't fucking get it.
I admit, I use to not take care of my teeth very much, but for the past year...I have brushed 2-3 times a day, and I have been flossing every night. About a month ago, I notice the browning started. I thought it might of been a calcium deficiency, so I stopped consuming caffeine. And started drinking 2-3 cups of milk a day and multi vitamins.
Well...it is now getting worst, it is starting to spread to another tooth. Its just not light brown either, it is pretty fucking dark. This is irritating. I was going to say it might be from flouride, but no way can the amount of flouride in toothpaste can cause that kind of browning.
The only thing I can think of now is maybe to try whitener. I really don't know what else to do. I don't want to go to my dentist because the cock sucker will accuse me of smoking meth and want me to pay him 10k to 'fix' my teeth.
I am open to any ideas.

It's likely from your intake of any of the following:
Coffee, red wine, meth, cigarettes etc.
I drink a good amount of coffee, and have wine. My teeth started to brown. Went to the Dentist and it cleaned right off. Amazing what a difference it makes.

If you read my post, I stopped consuming caffeine a while ago. I haven't had coffee in over a month and its getting worst.
I don't drink, I don't smoke anything. I really do no drugs at all...

oil pull man. it makes my teeth super fucking white (not just the front four teeth like white strips, every tooth sparkles). WEBSITE
This website has all the instructions needed. not only does oil pulling whiten your teeth but it also gives you a wonderful dose of EFAs and detoxes your body of fat soluble nasties. honestly, I brush my teeth maybe once a week. my mouth just stays so clean because of this and any time I make out with a chick they never comment on my breath. I told my ex that i never brushed my teeth and she was just all WTF?

using a scaler, or explorer, which are variations of the metal picks dentists may use, you can gently probe these brown areas for sensitivity. it may be possible that they are only stains, in which case lightly scraping the stains will remove the brown color. standard toothbrushes might not be able to achieve enough surface contact to remove these stains on the back of teeth. lastly, with good oral hygiene and adequate minerals/nutrients/supplements, your teeth should slowly regenerate from minor damage (less than 2mm of enamel penetration) resulting from plaque deposits or acids.

man, this post was so long ago
where if anyone wants to know how my teeth are now, they are great
I noticed it was tartar control stuff that was making them go brown...from mouth wash and stuff. I stopped using any kind of tartar control, and my teeth started becoming white. And now there is no brown.

shit son, this oil pulling thing seems awesome from what I've been reading. I definitely have to try it out now. How long have you been doing it? and how often?

I just used olive oil the past couple times because that's what's in my kitchen; I saw that a few people on earthclinic said it worked for them. I will probably get sunflower oil though next time I go to whole foods.
