Naturally our teeth colour ranges from pearly white to pale yellow so everyone cannot hv white teeth. Get scalling n polishing done by dentist. If you r not happy with your teeth shade later, you can get bleaching done by dentist which'll lighten your teeth by 2-3 shades. Alternatively you can use a teeth whitening toothpaste such as snowdent after scalling. Avoid heavily coloured foods, tea n coffee, cool drinks, tobacco products as they stain teeth.

It is not a disorder, so don't worry about it. These yellow deposits form on teeth due to hardening or calcification of plaque and food debris which remained stuck to the tooth surface for longer time. What you can do is to visit a dentist and get ultrasonic scaling / mechanical cleaning of teeth which will remove it easily, but at home do not brush it harder as it causes more damage to teeth, so brush gently twice a day. And if the yellowish color is still visible, then you can go for bleaching / teeth whitening after scaling.

The simplest method of removing minor surface stains is polishing, or micro-abrasion if staining is more intrinsic. Provided that your discolouration is not due to inadequate enamel exposing the dentin, tooth whitening (bleaching) is often the most effective treatment for yellow stained teeth. Advance procedures can be done with laser. Use snowdent tooth paste for whitening until then. Apply snowdent paste on the teeth. Wait for 10 to 15 min. Then brush your teeth with the same paste. Applying it overnight for better results.
