Hello. The yellow deposits are stains and calculus (tartar). Calculus or tartar is a form of hardened dental plaque. It is caused by precipitation of minerals from saliva and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) in plaque on the teeth.
Kindly undergo Scaling and Polishing treatment.
Scaling is a professional teeth cleaning procedure, wherein the hardened dental calculus is removed. Scaling not only cleans your teeth, but also keeps your gums healthy and firm and improves the overall condition of your oral health.
Kindly visit a dentist to undergo scaling and polishing
