Yellow stains may be due to minerals present in your water which you used for brushing your teeth.

Hii mam there are a lot of reasons for yellow teeth like food colour,tea, coffee,water, medication,deposits ( plaque and calculus).Even your tooth shade can be yellow.A simple brushing and tooth paste cannot improve your tooth colour. Please visit your dentist and consult regarding the yellow shade. Do full mouth scaling (cleaning) so you can find whether the yellow shade is due to external cause or your natural tooth shade is yellow. If your natural tooth shade is yellow then you need to go for Teeth whitening but prior to this you need to consult with your dentist .
Next Steps
Visit the nearby dentist consult regarding yellow shade.
Do full mouth scaling (cleaning)
Health Tips
Analyse whether any factors like food,tea or coffee are causing yellow shade.

Not necessarily all yellow teeth are due to stains.
Teeth color depends a lot of factors including Genetics, Biological reasons like thickness of enamel ,and lifestyle and external factors like aging ,excessive consumption of juices or aerated drink , tobacco use ,smoking etc.
Please visit dentist for clinical exam and treatment would be advised accordingly.
Toothpaste alone is not going to remove stains if any alone.

Yellowish teeth can be due to surface stains from tea/coffee/tobacco, plaque or calculus, or simply the natural underlying colour of the teeth. Since you have already tried several regular toothpastes, changing brands repeatedly may not make a major difference. Whitening toothpastes are mainly useful for surface stains and cannot significantly change the natural colour of the teeth.
Next Steps
* You can try a fluoride-containing whitening toothpaste for a few weeks, used twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush.
* If you have tooth sensitivity, choose a whitening toothpaste specifically formulated for sensitive teeth rather than an aggressive whitening product.
* If there is visible yellow/brown deposit, especially near the gums, toothpaste will not remove calculus/tartar—a professional scaling and polishing would be more appropriate.
* If your teeth are naturally yellow rather than stained, dentist-supervised bleaching with hydrogen peroxide/carbamide peroxide will give a more noticeable colour change than toothpaste.
Health Tips
* Brush gently for 2 minutes twice daily and floss/interdental clean once daily.
* Avoid brushing aggressively or using lemon, vinegar, charcoal, baking soda mixtures or other DIY whitening methods, as they can be abrasive/irritating and may damage enamel.
* Reduce frequent tea/coffee and rinse with water afterward.
* A scaling + polishing examination first is a good idea if the yellow colour is mainly around the gumline.

Hello Ma'am
If your teeth stay yellow even after brushing, the problem may not be your toothpaste.
There can be two possibilities i.e.. surface stains from coffee/tea, tobacco, foods, plaque etc or natural tooth colour or tarter / calculus.
Whitening toothpaste cannot remove hardened calculus,and it also cannot make naturally yellowish denting completely white.
Next Steps
If the yellow colour is especially near your gums or you can see. a hard yellow layer that doesn't brush away, I 'd recommend getting a dental scalling and polishing

The important thing to understand is that brushing doesn’t necessarily make your natural tooth colour white.
The yellowish teeth could be due to two reasons.
One is surface staining from tea, coffee, smoking, certain foods and plaque or tartar buildup. Surface stains can usually be removed with professional cleaning and polishing.
The other is your natural tooth colour—enamel is slightly transparent, so the naturally yellowish dentin underneath shows through. if the yellowish colour is your natural tooth shade, whitening is what can make the teeth look lighter.
