Peroxide+Baking Soda: Professional whitening at a dentist is the safest and most predictable procedure to whiten teeth. Home remedies can lead to severe sensitivity and gum recession with root exposure. The otc whitening strips with carbamide peroxide can lighten teeth, but the results are not predictable and very from patient to patient. Toothpastes with baking soda and peroxide have some lightening effect, as well.

None: There are not really any home remedies for tooth whitening. The best and most reliable tooth whitening is custom made dental trays and dentist prescribed tooth whitening gel. A cheaper alternative is over the counter white strips. Do not bother with otc whitening rinses or toothpaste, they don't work. There are tons of "whitening" products out there that want to steal your money.
