A member asked:

How many time does it take before you can see the results from a banana peel for whiter teeth?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Unlikely: There is no evidence that using a banana peel has any whitening properties. You could use some over-the- counter products that have some effects like white strips. Or have them professionally bleached, home or office or both. Kor material and method is superior.
