Yellow teeth.: Actually yellow is a common color for teeth. The more see through the enamel, or outer hard shell of the tooth is, the more the inside portion, or dentin shows. Dentin is yellowish, so this is quite normal, but in my experience, yellow teeth are the easiest to bleach or whiten to a beautiful shade you will be happy with. See a dentist and inquire about tooth whitening options. Good luck.

No: You can get a cleaning anytime you want -- your insurance will only usually pay for it every 6 months. If you go in between, do not send to insurance and ask for only the cleaning -- no exam. This will save you about $45. See dentist for tooth whitening -- do the dentist provided/monitored home whitening. It gives results equal to 'zoom', etc. , costs less and only takes about 2 weeks.
