Baking soda may scrub away some surface stain, but it cannot bleach the natural inner color of teeth or remove every cause of yellowing.
What can cause teeth to appear yellow?
Yellow appearance can come from surface pigments, darker dentin beneath translucent enamel, tartar, decay, or enamel change. Treatment depends on the layer or condition involved.
How can you manage yellow teeth without harsh scrubbing?
Use fluoride toothpaste and a soft brush, and have tartar removed professionally. Do not scrub hard or mix baking soda with acids, which can increase tooth wear.
When should yellow tooth colour be checked?
See a dentist for one-tooth discoloration, injury-related darkening, pain, holes, sensitivity, or deposits that brushing cannot remove.

Ask whether the color is stain, tartar, enamel, dentin, decay, or a restoration, and which whitening method suits your teeth and gums.
