Whiten teeth: Toothpaste will not whiten teeth. Home remedies will not whiten teeth and may end up damaging the enamal leading to increased staining. The most effective way to whiten teeth is using the methods recommended by your dentist.

NOT ADVISED!: Lemon juice is highly acidic and may make your teeth sensitive!! There is NO effective 'natural way' to bleach your teeth. You must invest in a Doctors whitening regimen or try Crest Whitestrips (available OTC at pharmacies). good luck!

Lemon = Acid: Acid = demineralization. Why try to reinvent the wheel? If your concoction were effective, there would be no need for professional and OTC whitening products, right? Follow the advise of your dentist to whiten your teeth safely and effectively.
