A member asked:
Can i whiten my teeth if i use household bleach?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NEVER!!!!: Household bleach is sodium hypochlorite which can burn soft tissues (tongue, gums, throat). It will cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhea if swallowed. And it will have absolutely no effect on the color of your teeth. Please, do not do that!
