What Causes Teeth Stains?

So the structure is very sound but the problem is over time as we eat, drink basically from the wear and tear the color starts to increase from the color of the food that we eat. Also, a lot of people when they were young, the mother taking antibiotics while the baby is still in the womb so at that stage where the tooth is just in the developmental stage in the fetus the tooth can come out at a very discolored, basically brown-black color. Or when the child is born there at the infant stage and they have a very high fever that can also cause the discoloration of the enamel. In all those situations can we use a whitening product to whiten the teeth to basically as white as possible? The answer is "no". But we like to think that we can do it for every situation.
