I have only been on Clofazimine for 3 months. My skin is a slight bit darker but have not noticed my teeth darkening. I do have a number of crowns. I’ll keep you posted.

Thanks for your reply @bnthorson. Yes the Clofazimine suntan, laugh -- glad it is only that on my skin too.
I've been on Clofazimine for around 18 months now. The teeth stain has begun to be more noticeable in the past 6 months,
I think I will get a new mouth/teeth mold made so I can use special whitening crean from my dentist -- it's worth a try. I will let you know how it goes.
(PS. It's a good idea to get an ECG / EKG of your heart rhythms after taking Clofazimine for around 12 months, It gets rid of potassium and magnesium from the body and that affects some people's QT heart rhythm).
Good luck
