I know this may sound a little weird, but I know my grandfather use to do it back in the 1940's before there were whitening products like today. My grandfather used to burn corn tortilla until it's crunchy black. Break up the tortilla in pieces (since it's already burnt, then it will crumble easily) and put some in your toothpaste, brushing your teeth as you normally do. That should do some cleaning or you can use the commonly known whitening products. The last alternative I suggest is going to the dentist and getting a professional whitening treatment.

It dose not matter whether your teeth is white or yellow, the important thing is that your teeth should be strong.
Don’t try to brush your teeth with stress and more number of times in a day keeping yourself under impression that your teeth will become white. This will harm your teeth.
The colour & shine of the teeth depends upon the existence of calcium, yellow colour & less shine does not mean strong & healthy teeth.
Your’ brush should be moved not from left to right but it should move up & down, because the up & down move exactly removes the pieces of foodstuff.Only up & down movement can remove the pieces of foodstuff as the gap between our teeth are in the same angle.

If you are interested in a home remedy, brushing teeth with salt may be helpful.
If you break a mango seed(ripe mango) you will find a white coloured seed.Rubbing that to your teeth also makes them white.
Rubbing your teeth with strawberry may also help.

First is to brush teeth daily twice...Then try using salt..but do not do it daily as it may cause the enamel of the tooth to erode...then is using floride toothpaste as florine is said to posses the capacity to make teeth whiter..

always start with the basics: brush and floss. besides having them professionally whitened, you can apply mashed strawberry (yes, really) to your teeth. strawberries naturally whiten them. you can also use a peroxide and water mixture (1:1) and gargle with it. don't waste your time and money on all those home systems.

try regular peroxide... instead of using mouth wash.. swish peroxide around in your mouth for 10 minutes each day and it will whiten your teeth and help with bad breath too... and the best part is peroxide is cheap
