Accepted Answer

See a dentist: Discoloration could have come from several origins including foods or drinks she is using. Her dentist will evaluate the cause and determine if whitening will help, and which type of system will,work best for her. The OTC whitening products will not harm her teeth.

Accepted Answer

: You'll need to brush thoroughly for two minutes, and then floss between each tooth. That will help, but may not be enough. Hardened calculus needs to be professionally removed by a hygienist or dentist. Limit sugary, sticky snacks. The lockdown is finite. ICYMI, you are allowed to leave your home for medical care:

how can i get rid of yellow teeth?

Accepted Answer

Whitening: I assume you want to keep your teeth and just get rid of the yellow. ;-). Teeth whitening (or bleaching) procedures are just for this.

A dentist can provide you with faster and stronger whitening options, or can provide cosmetic porcelain veneers. Good luck.
