Good day Juliet, thanks for reaching out to us.
There are a number of causes of tooth discoloration which ranges from Genetics/Hereditary factors, Diet (Coffee and the likes), Poor oral Hygiene, Medication (especially by mothers during pregnancy), certain diseases among others.
However, you mentioned that it’s been that way since birth. This narrows down the possible causes to few of the above listed.
What can be done?
The most important part is determining the exact cause of the discoloration in your case.
This will be followed by one or more of these levels of intervention.
1. Professional Cleaning (Scaling and Polishing) and dietary/oral hygiene counseling.
2. Professional Teeth Whitening.
3. Placement of Crown/Veneers. (This is like wearing a cap(fixed) over the discolored teeth to mask the discoloration and give you the exceptional smile that you desire.
I hope you found this response useful.
