Hello mam...
you need to visit dentist to make your teeth white as the tooth paste does not help much...
Even though you brush regularly there is always some inaccessible areas in between teeth that needs to be cleaned by dentists only
yellowish discoloration of teeth is due to deposits(plaque and calculus)and stains(coffee,tea and smoking, pan stains...) that can be removed by cleaning (scaling and polishing) and in office and home teeth whitening technique also available which will brightens your teeth....in office teeth whitening or bleaching is more effective than the home bleach technique.....
Next Steps
kindly visit dentist for furthur clinical examination and management

Tooth whitening is achieved either with scaling polishing or with bleching
Which procedure will follow with you it's depends on your tooth stain
All toothpaste are good
But which is used , it's also depends on your condition if u have some initial cavity then u should use fluoride paste
If u have sensitivities then use potassium nitrate pase
But if u have no such any problems
I personally recamend glister tooth paste
Next Steps
brush twice a day
a scaling in 6 months will help u to keep pearls whitening
