Hi
Thanks for writing in.
Yellowish teeth could be due to several reasons:-
- poor oral hygiene
- wearing away of enamel
- excessive tea or coffee
- tobacco chewing
- hereditary
You go for scaling to get rid of bad phygiene.You may also go for bleaching if you want white teeth. But bleaching is temporary & teeth again take stain after sometime.
Visit your dentist & get scaling done.
