Brushing twice daily is a good habit but do not over brush. On over brushing, the second layer dentine will be exposed which is yellow in colour. You need to visit a professional to advice you for cleaning or not based on clinical examination. [generally fair complexion ppl will have slightly yellow teeth compared to dark].

Brushing twice a day is good habit. But the yellowing of the teeth may not be due to stains. It might be due to something else. Share your pics to guide you better.

There are several causes of tooth discoloration, including: -foods/drinks. Coffee, tea, colas, wines, and certain fruits and vegetables -tobacco use. Smoking or chewing tobacco can stain teeth -poor dental hygiene. Inadequate brushing and flossing to remove plaque and stain-producing substances like coffee and tobacco can cause tooth discoloration. -medications- mouth rinses and washes containing chlorhexidine and cetylpyridinium chloride can also stain teeth. Antihistamines (like benadryl), antipsychotic drugs, and drugs for high blood pressure also cause teeth discoloration. You can go for bleaching if you want bright white teeth. It will help definietly.
