Teeth can be stained a multitude of colors but some people end up with teeth that are literally black.
From Wiki:Ohaguro (ãŠæ¯é»’?) is a custom of dyeing one's teeth black. It was most popular in Japan until the Meiji era, as well as in the southeastern parts of China and Southeast Asia. Dyeing was mainly done by married women, though occasionally men did it as well. It was also beneficial, as it prevented tooth decay, in a similar fashion to modern dental sealants.
Users of Betel Nut can also end up with teeth stained very dark red and in some cases black. Almost 10% of the entire world population chews Betel Nut.

I am a dental hyiene student and we studied dental stains eairler this semester. "Black Line Stains" are a calculus like stain that forms along the gum line of the tooth. It is a stain that occurs more commonly in children and women and oddly enough it is associated with clean mouth. The treatment is regular dental cleanings by your hygienist or dentist.

It also has a tendency to recur despite regular personal oral care.
