There are so much products that claim they'll make your teeth more white but can you tell me which ones actually work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Whitening products: There are too many to list here. Whitening toothpastes only remove stain and should not be used long term. Crest whitestrips do work but have limitations. In my opinion, the most cost effective method involves your dentist making custom trays and supplying you with a whitening gel. You can save the trays and purchase fresh whitening gel in the future. In office method is more costly.
