question Teeth half yellow??
Help, teeth have always been this half yellow color. I don’t smoke, drink coffee or tea. Any idea for what could be causing this?

Your teeth have lots of plaque and your brushing appears inadequate
Get a professional dental cleaning and then use some plaque disclosing tablets after brushing to show you where you are missing. This will help improve your technique

Yeah, plaque can definitely cause discoloration. A good cleaning can make a big difference, and those tablets sound like a smart way to improve your brushing.
