Teeth cleaning and polishing/scaling
My front (upper and lower) 5 teeth are yellow because I never brushed this part of teeth properly when I was young.
So, can teeth cleaning and teeth polishing/scaling make the teeth 2 to 3 shades whiter?

Go for bleaching and that will whiten your teeth. You can opt for a home bleaching system or an in office bleach. Both are quite effective

scaling and polishing can not change your tooth color . it will only remove the debris and calculus that is deposited on your teeth. If you want to change tooth color, ask your dentist about bleaching
