He is only 7 and has two top front adult teeth and four bottom. I brush them twice a day and have even brought him mouth wash. He drinks a lot of squash hates milk and cheese so not a lot of dairy. No fizzy drinks, tea or coffee though. He does have a sweet tooth though

You arent by any chance using the pro enamel toothpaste are you because it gave my dd yellow teeth which have now gone since we stopped using it.

adult teeth do look more yellow as they are sitting next to the extremely white milk teeth.

my dd has this too. The dentist tells me it is simply a build up of a substance she produces too much of in her saliva. He gave us disclosing tablets to use and they help and he just polishes them twice a year at her normal appointments.

My dd1 has yellowish adult teeth - sadly, I think its purely genetics and nothing to be done at this age.

Whitening as an adult??
