However, before having teeth whitening at home, you need to meet a dentist to have tartar removal (scaling), this is a prerequisite for your teeth to be as white as desired. Having tartar removal (scaling) will help the teeth whitening procedure to give the best result.
Not to mention, you need to go to the dentist to buy teeth whitening (bleaching) products as well as to take a tray made based on your teeth marks. Experts advise that you should not buy teeth whitening products from the Internet because you do not know the effects of these drugs as well as their origin. Using fake products might be harmful to your teeth and gums.
If you buy teeth whitening trays from other sources, their sizes might not be suitable for your teeth. You should buy whitening trays and whitening products at the dentist’s office and perform teeth whitening according to the dentist’s instructions.

Although teeth whitening methods with whitening strips or pens at home can give long-lasting results, you have to wait for 2-4 weeks to see a noticeable difference in the color of your teeth. The reason is these methods are only applied to mildly stained teeth, in more severe cases, it is difficult to remove the stains on the teeth.
Besides, if you perform the method improperly or abuse these whitening methods, the gums and lips may also be damaged. Furthermore, if you apply teeth whitening methods with natural ingredients such as banana peels, strawberries, lemons, baking soda, etc., it is still effective but cannot be compared with the treatment at the dental clinic.
