Can whitestrips work on yellow teeth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes but not best: Over the counter whitening products such as white strips will whiten some, however, there are some draw backs. They only whiten the highest surface of the teeth they come in contact with as they sit on the teeth. They don't whiten in the areas between where the teeth come together. They also can cause damage to the gums such as irritation and burning. Professional whitening by a dentist is best.
