    Buy some Listerine Cool Mint Antiseptic mouth wash and brush your teeth with it after your normal routine of brushing. You can use a cap off a small bottle to pour it in...a size your toothbrush will fit into.

    Brushing teeth would be the usual cure and prevention tip but try using a toothpaste that has baking soda and peroxide. Both have an effect on whitening.

    If you're a smoker, you need to stop that right away as tar causes discoloration of teeth.

    Brush properly twice a day for at least two minutes.

    Use a whitening toothpaste along with an electric toothbrush which is more effective for removing surface stains.

    Eating fruits and vegetables with a higher water content

    Big NO to smoking/tobacco

    Reduce intake of certain drinks like soda, red wine, coffee, tea

    Apply a paste of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide overnight.

    A quick recommendation for electric toothbrushes that I found to be effective:

    1. Oral-B IO series
    2. Burst Sonic toothbrush

    It absolutely normal for teeth to get yellow as you grow. But if it bothers you much, you can go for whitening strips ( use Burst, oral b )
