These white spots are caused by dehydration of the enamel surface of your teeth. Once saliva hits the teeth they will rehydrate and the white spots will disappear.

Certain foods that are high in tannins, such as red wine, are potential causes of yellow teeth. Some of the most common causes of tooth discoloration include drinking beverages such as coffee, soda, and wine. These substances get into the enamel of your teeth and can cause long-term discoloration.

External and internal stains
coffee, tea and wine are all very high in chromogens, which all stick to our teeth and will produce noticeable stains, while nicotine mixed with oxygen produces a yellow result that settles into tooth enamel, turning it yellow or brown over time.

Dear lybrate-user, yellowish appearance of teeth is due to (1) deposits on teeth (2) thin enamel (3) calcified pulp chambers (4) pigmentation due to food substances/ medicines
every reason of causing yellowish teeth is dealt with separately. So my advice will be to go for teleconsultation on platform preferably video so that you may get appropriate remedial advice.
