Hi, there is a difference between teeth cleaning and whitening
Cleaning removes surface deposits and plaque but doesn't lighten your teeth.
Whitening involves application of a gel on the tooth surfaces which lighten the colour of teeth

Hey dear,
There are various reasons for the change in teeth
colour to yellow. A dentist can address the right
reason for the change after seeing you clinically.
If it's yellow deposits, that is plaque, it can be
easily removed by scaling (cleaning) of your teeth.
Scaling of your teeth can lead to mild to moderate
sensitivity in cases like root exposure and gum
recession , however this is transient.
There are other treatment options like Bleaching and
Veneers to turn your yellow teeth to white. Please
consult a dentist and get the appropriate treatment.
Take care!
