What are some methods to whiten my teeth?

Whitening gel: If and only if you have had a recent dental cleaning or made sure you have removed the plaque from your teeth, you can try whitening gels made from carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide. Home remedies can be baking soda and malic acid from strawberries, mashing them together to open the pores. However, your teeth should not have restorations and gum recession so you do not get sensitivity.

Dentist bleaching: In office methods to whiten in one hour or custom tray based systems which take a couple of weeks but can be re-used are the two most popular methods of whitening your teeth.
