Whitening teeth: can be done safely in a dentist's office. There are different toothpaste and mouth rinse in the store that are available but the whiteness expected cannot be achieved similar to what is recommended. Some tried home whitening, e.g. using baking soda and peroxide, but be very careful. I had seen an patient who whitened his teeth at home but the gum tissue was sloughing , painful, and raw.

Teeth whitening: You can use over the counter tooth paste or crest 3D whitening strips or pens. However, they are not so effective and/or stable. OTC bleach and whitening tooth paste could be used as a supplement only. A professional teeth whitening without laser, followed by home whitening system with custom trays for the long term effect. You will be very happy with the results.
