Meanwhile, there are other factors such as genetics, aging, use of drugs, and lack of maintaining dental hygiene which also cause teeth to turn yellow.
As quoted from the Healthline page, many factors cause teeth to become dull and lose their white shine. Certain foods can stain tooth enamel, which is the outer layer of teeth. Apart from that, plaque buildup on the teeth can also cause the teeth to appear yellow and rusty.
Plaque itself is food residue that sticks to the surface of the teeth with a sticky, yellowish texture. This plaque can also cause bad breath and the appearance of tartar. Usually this dental plaque appears due to rarely brushing your teeth, so that food residue sticks to the surface of the teeth.
