Hello, yellow teeth could be because of deposits on teeth surface or food lodged in between teeth. Visit a dentist and get your scaling and polishing done. Brush your teeth twice daily, night brushing is very important. Floss regularly. Rinse after every meal. iF there is a cavity, you need to get it filled. Visit dentist every 6 months.

Brushing daily is a good practice. However it removes only loosely attached plaque on the teeth surface. But the calcified plaque which is known as calculus won't go by brushing. It requires professional dental cleaning. But whitening is different entity. Whitening can be achieved by latest advanced LASER treatment.
Next Steps
Consult a dentist who provides laser treatment.
