Reasons why some of my teeth are a bit yellowish?

[Anonymous]

My front upper teeth (from canine to canine) are yellow compared to the rest which are WHITE.
Why did this happen.
I tried to whiten them and they did a bit but i don't think i'll be able to get them to that WHITE.

Coffee, colas & smoking are notorious for yellowing teeth. But other food/drinks cause it, too: wines, tea, certain fruits/veggies (cherries, apples, potatoes), turmeric-containing dishes.

Other factors: medication (some when taken as a kid or your mom took them while pregnant with you), dental hygiene, excess of fluoride, genetics.

Diet and unwittingly cleaning your teeth unevenly... My dentist can tell which parts of my mouth I brushed slightly 'better' than others just by looking at my teeth, and he was entirely right.

Could be hygiene, related to the foods you eat, or maybe just genetics.

You either smoke or drink a lot of caffeine, maybe a lot of orange juice. Teeth get stained and its difficult to remove the stains completely.

That's completely normal. Baby teeth are white, but adult teeth are slightly yellow (more or less, depending on several factors). Ivory is not white.
