Colour of tooth becoming yellow.
I generally brush more than 10 mins in morning and sometimes in the night also. Still my tooth are getting yellow slowly. Also the breath becomes smelly after 8-9 hours or even less. Smelly breath comes usually if I keeps shut my mouth for some hours.
What is cause behind this?
How can I get rid of this?
Thanks in advance.

Firstly you must stop brushing your teeth for 10 minutes. It cause more harm than good. You are slowly abrading the outer White layer of Enamel for Yellowish Dentin. Sometimes improper brushing leads to accumulation of calculus deposits which might be one of the reason for bad breath. Decayed teeth also causes bad breath.
Next Steps
consult a dentist and get the oral examination done.

Hi... Brushing of teeth is good way of prevention but when done right way. Brushing at night after all food is more effective. Twice brushing is recommended. About bad breath... Its due to not cleaning interdental areas. You need to use dental floss regularly at night after brushing. Water consumption, cleaning of tongue etc. You can visit my clinic in Pune for free consultation
