Several things: Yellow teeth can be caused by staining foods and habits, so avoiding them would help. These include anything that would stain a white shirt - red wine, coffee, etc. Smoking is the number one cause of yellow teeth. To make them white again you need to start with a dental cleaning, and then use a whitening product, either by the dentist (better) or something like white strips (cheaper).

Four ways: 1. Better brushing and flossing 2. Professional cleaning 3. Tooth whitening- ask your dentist for which methods are best for you. 4. Restorations such as bonded composite fillings, porcelain laminates or crowns. Discuss what would be best for you. It depends upon how bad your teeth are and how far you want to go towards that "hollywood smile".
