Brushing twice daily and cleaning your teeth once in six months helps maintaining good oral hygiene. Visit dentist for cleaning and polishing of teeth to get rid of the plaque and tatar which is the source of infection.

The yellow discoloration on your teeth could be due to the presence of hard deposits, known as calculus or tartar, which cannot be removed by regular brushing alone.
I recommend visiting your dentist for a thorough cleaning to remove these deposits and help restore the natural appearance of your teeth. A professional cleaning will help improve the overall health and appearance of your teeth.
