The more you to whiten your teeth, the more yellow they will become as you will end up damaging enamel.
When enamel is damaged, detin is exposed which is yellow in color. Also teeth may become sensitive.

Hi!
If the yellowish colour is natural and the same from the start- it is very difficult to change unless and until it is too bad that you wish to treat it with laminates or crowns.
If the yellow color is due to stains then u need to go for cleaning of the teeth which can help you get rid of that.
Any teeth whitening procedure is not a permanent solution. It's just like bleeching the face-
Next Steps
Visit a dentist for clinical evaluation and for better treatment options.
Health Tips
Don't go for any home remedies for whitening - that will surely be harmful.
