Overbrushing and harsh brushing are the main factors of teeth turning yellow. The damage caused by over brushing is irreversible. It causes wear off of enamel making teeth appear yellow. If the yellowness is due to stains and calculus then it can be removed by ultrasonic scaling. Go through the blog in the link below for more details.

Visit dentist for clinical examination. Do not try any home remedies. They lead to tooth sensitivity.

Yellowness of teeth can be extrinsic or intrinsic. You may have deposits on your teeth or discolouration may be because of foods or medications. Bad smell can be because of cavities in teeth or gum disease.. Smoking, dry mouth and certain medical conditions can also be the reason.
