Yellowed teeth on new food

Hello all!

After months of putting up with chronic loose stools & vomiting, I FINALLY found a food that has put all of that to rest for my sensitive kitty, Tiger Prawn. It's called "Taste of the Wild" and has been a god send to me, as Tiger Prawn has had bowel issues since 4 months and she is now 1.5 yrs!!

However, I had a look at her & her sister's teeth the other day and YIKES!!! The back teeth have turned butter yellow and one of TP's teeth has a deposit on it!!! I freaked!! When I fed them Innova EVO their teeth were white as snow, I would check them all the time, and we have recently officially switched over these past 2 months, so I'm positive it is the food, there have been no other changes. They are barely 2 years and I may have to have a dental

I am going to start brushing, but I wanted to know if there is anything I can do, food wise, to help this? I'm hoping for a result outside of switching to another diet in fear of the vomiting/diarrhea returning, but I am changing to a breakfast meal of dry food and evening meal of wet. Wet is California Natural's Salmon & Sweet Potatoe as I am trying to stay away from grain heavy diets. I have included the ingredient list below for Taste of the Wild, as I do believe it's a good food, I just can't understand why this change in dental health and what I can do to stop this from getting worse....this community is so experienced in these matters I truly trust the advice here!! Thanks for any suggestions!
