Why do canine teeth (in humans) go yellow/discolour more easily than other teeth?

Think they are canines or incisors? sharp pointy ones either side of mouth.

Canines are thicker teeth than the rest in your mouth so it mas a bigger bulk of dentine. Dentine is a yellower shade of enamel so canine teeth look yellower as a result of the increased dentine.

Reply:I think it%26#039;s because we use those teeth to chew most of the time that food will often stick to it. Also where it%26#039;s situated, we don%26#039;t pay enough attention to brushing it.

Canines do the more of the ripping of food. So i guess this is the reason they get yellow faster.
