I have yellow stain on my teeth. I tried using whitening toothpaste but, the stain won't come off. What should I do?

Whiting toothpaste doesn't work as it isn't held against your teeth. I think that it is a waste of time.
There are different alternatives.
Maybe, you could see a hygienist to scale and polish your teeth and remove the staining if it just on the surface.
If the staining is in the teeth, then you could either use a home bleaching kit or laser or "zoom" bleaching.
A home bleaching lit is about $250 and it takes about 7 to 10 days to complete. Also, if you feel that in 12 months or so, you can purchase a top up syringe cause you already have the trays.
Laser or "zoom" bleaching is done in the dentist's chair. it takes about an hour and could cost $1200++. A high concentrate of bleach is painted onto the teeth and a light is used to accelerate the process. This can make your teeth very very sensitive. I mean for days and days.
Have talk with your dentist and see what he/she recommends.
Good Luck

Commercial tooth whiteners use hydrogen peroxide and
are expensive and inconvenient. A cheap and natural
tooth whitening home remedy uses few strawberries
but certain precautions have to be taken.

Pour peroxide on your toothbrush and then dip it in baking soda. Brush with that everyday. You could also buy one of those tooth scalers for scaping tarter off of teeth. Walmart sells them.

My dentist says that using peroxide frequently can deteriorate gum tissue
