Oral hygiene: The color of teeth depends upon the integrity of the enamel(outer surface) if the enamel is more transluscent, the teeth will appear more yellow .The smell could be from the bacteria that lives under the gum between the teeth. That is why regular professional cleanings are necessary and flossing every 24 hours is required to prevent bacterial growth(and odor). Brush the surface of the tongue too!
