Does sudden yellow teeth indicate a particular vitamin deficiency?

I%26#039;ve been an orange juice junkie my whole life, but I%26#039;ve been without it for a month now and just noticed my bottom teeth are definitely more yellow than before. I%26#039;m wondering if the two could be related. Is this a sign of a Vitamin C or some other vitamin deficiency?

says: The yellow color is probably a surface stain. It is certainly not from a nutritional or vitamin deficiency, nor is it a symptom of an illness.
Reply:Usually the coloring or change in coloring of teeth is not an indication of any health issues. Discoloring of teeth or stain is caused by foods, beverages or smoking. A change in saliva flow can be an indication of other health issues, such as taking new medications and can cause plaque and bacteria to be harder to remove. If you have health concerns see your doctor.
