Is it possible to make your own tooth whitening kit?

No: Do not try. The chemicals are dangerous and could hurt your tissues, gums, and lips.

Why bother?: Over the counter kits are relatively inexpensive although their ability to whiten is often variable and inadequate to what is desired by most patients. The best way to get your teeth whitened is to discuss the options with your own dentist. Anything that you try at home will most likely be a waste of your time and money and be very disappointing if not dangerous. Leave it to a professional.

No.: There is no safe way to make an effective tooth whitening kit at home.

Not really : If you were a biochemist, maybe, but it is inexpensive and easy to buy White Strips at the drug store or even get a custom kit from your dentist. The last thing you would want to do is damage your teeth or hurt yourself.

You can make your : own kit or you can use over the counter tooth paste or supper market products like 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.
