If you have generalised yellowish discoloration, it is because of debris and tartar. There is as such no natural ways to overcome the problem. If it is discoloration in a single tooth only, then it's because the tooth is dead and should get it checked up by a Specialist.
Next Steps
You can visit ur nearby dentist for a check up followed by Scaling and Polishing.And even after this u feel the problem persist,u can go for teeth whitening or Bleaching.
Health Tips
Regular toothbrushing twice a day especially after dinner and visit ur dentist every 6 months for a general check up to maintain your teeth hygiene.
