I brush my teeth 4 times a day, but they never get white, or close to white. Cold things that I eat (like Ice Cream) hurts my teeth, and even hard things like apples hurts my teeth. I don't know why.. And please note, I have never dropped a tooth. Please, help me.
White teeth does not equal strong or resilient teeth. Actually yellow teeth might occasionally be stronger, depending on why they're yellow...
If you brush your teeth that much every day, you can wear down the plating (I don't know the English word for 'emalje', thus making your teeth more vulnerable (because there will be less between the surface of the tooth and the nerve). This can also happen if you brush too hard.
The good news is, if you haven't gotten your adult teeth yet, you'll get a second chance with the new set once it comes.
But yea Zophia got the nail on the head. It may not look pretty but it's the natural coating you have when you're younger that helps protect your teeth. Only once you get older to you get your pearly whites.
Since you still have child teeth, biting on hard objects can definitely hurt them, since they aren't as strong as adult teeth. This is why parents give their kids pieces of fruit, not the whole thing for them to bite on.
As for being white, you need whitener. Toothpaste alone isn't going to make them white as a pearl, they will get a sort of cloudy, cream color, but whitening it while you brush will give you results.
It's also possible for you to not have white teeth because of family traits. Not saying that brushing your teeth is a bad thing, but it looks like they are getting sensitive because of either brushing too much or eating too much sugary things or citrus fruits (Pineapple, grapefruit, oranges, lemon, and lime etc).
Well... Maybe your starting to drop a tooth? I know I pulled out all of mine myself. My teeth aren't completely white, but they're strong. If it is a loose one, be careful, it might be a cliffhanger. Those things get messy if you yank 'em. I recommend twisting the tooth, a lot less painful for me.
Kind of like what Zophia said. If you brush them way to much then they will get weaker. Just brush them like twice a day for the next month and see what happens.
I know what you're saying, mine are never white. They are yellow, but not because they are dirty. I brush them 3 times per day, only eat cold or hot foods separately, not together and I always use the dental floss.
My teeth don't get really white, but they're close. Just sort of strained because of the tea and coffee I drink. I brush my teeth at least twice a day though.
By not dropping a tooth I think you mean losing one? Sorry, I've just never heard anyone say "dropping a tooth" lol.
But that could be why it hurts to eat cold things and such.
I could also be the natural coloring. I have yellow teeth even after I started brushing my teeth twice a day. It's really problematic. Once you lose your baby teeth and they're still that way it's probably the natural coloring. It could also be tartar, which is really hard to get off with a toothbrush, as it is essentially hardened plaque. My dentist had to scrape it off my teeth.

They'll kill me.

How could I eat those fruits? I'm allergic to most of them.

Well, EXUUUUUSE ME!
Its probably your gums as much as it is your teeth. Your teeth can't be healthy unless your gums are too.
I think the word that you're looking for is ename- *gets shot*

Lay off teh booze/cigs pal... *hehe* I'm really not sure how to fix that to be honest. Mine are kind of the same way. I brush mine twice a day, and they arn't as white as they really should be. Then again, i'm a Dew addict. I suggest asking a dentist if you really want to know what is wrong, like Zoph said.
Cold things that I eat (like Ice Cream) hurts my teeth
I actually have the same problem. My teeth are just sensitive to cold food though. Yours may also just be sensitive to cold food; it's very common. Or it may also be because of teeth chipping.
I brush my teeth 2 times a day but they never been white and i don't konow why.And I have problem my teeth are very sensible when eat or drink cold things they hurt
As said before, milk teeth are more sensitive and weaker than adult teeth.
Also, brushing excessively can scrape the enamel off. And if you don't have a choice with brushing less, you can try to get a toothbrush with softer bristles! This may help.
Teeth having to be completely white is a bit of a myth in my opinion. Making sure you have strong bones with a good calcium intake is much more important.
