Do not try: Household bleach is not intended for intraoral use. It will irritate and burn your mucous membranes and can cause serious health problems. Read the label. Use it to clean your laundry and bathroom; for that it works very well.

Not recommended: The best way to whiten your teeth is to see a dentist for the best and safest result. If you need only slight whitening, the otc whitening strips may be sufficient.
