Thanks for consulting Healthcare magic .
This is Dr. Priyanka Tiwari answering your query .

I have read your query and understand your concern . As far as yellowish teeth and dark spots is concerned this can be due to deposition of stains and calculus in grooves of teeth . Can you provide image of teeth that will be more helpful for me to arrive at conclusion and give you a good suggestion.

Based on detail provided I would suggest some selfcare remedies :
- Brush your teeth twice daily . You can use toothpaste like colgate visible white toothpaste for whitening.
-Use mouthwash regularly like Chlorhexidine .
- Do XXXXXXX warm saline rinses twice daily for healthy gums .
- use tongue scraper to clean your tongue that help you in avoiding bad breath.

You can do these selfcare remedies if stains (yellowish) on teeth persists then consult oral surgeon for scaling and polishing . Awating for picture to comment further .
