Is there any medication to make your teeth white without seeing the dentist?

NO: Over the counter "white strips" is the closest you'll get to whitening your teeth without seeing a dentist. Whitening tooth pastes have minimal effect, so need to face the reality that for the best results there are no short cuts to whiter teeth. If that's what you want, schedule an appointment with a dentist. You'll be amazed by the results!

Teeth whitening: You can use over the counter tooth paste or supper market products like crest white-strips. 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.

Perhaps: There are whitening strips such as Crest Whitestrips that work but have limitations. Your teeth should be examined and all necessary treatment be completed first!
