Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The black discoloration can be because of the stains secondary to coffee or tea or smoke. The other possible cause is decay of the teeth.
Consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. If it is stains then cleaning of the teeth will solve the problem. If it is decayed teeth, then it has to be restored with tooth color restorative material.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
