There are a couple of ways to whiten your teeth. Those ways boil down to 2 categories: either DIY (Do-It-Yourself) or seeking Professional Treatment from a real dentist.
TEAM DO-IT-YOURSELF
Some of the most popular DIY teeth whitening techniques that you can use in the comfort of your homes are namely:
3% Hydrogen Peroxide + Baking Soda Paste

There's tons of how-to ways on the internet to make this paste. You can only apply this once a day.
Applying Fruit Peels

Common fruits like strawberry, orange, lime and banana peels have this scraping effect that basically remove stains from your teeth. It is done by just simply rubbing it directly.
Advantages of DIY: I guess the cost advantage is quite obvious, for you can buy the things that you need in the grocery store.
Disadvantages: Of course, you did it yourself, you aint a professional, neither am I, but my mom is. Another disadvantage is that you can get visible results in months, plus the hassle. Overuse of DIY procedures esp. Hydrogen Peroxide can damage the gums & increase tooth sensitivity.
TEAM PROFESSIONAL TREATMENT
FDA approved use of ACP (amorphous calcium and phosphate) as a desensitizer have successfully integrated it for safer, healthier whitening. Gets your teeth 7 shades whiter in just 45 minutes of lying down the dental chair.
DENTIST DIRECTED "AT-HOME TEETH BLEACHING"
this procedure, when used as directed by the dentist, can even be more successful than ZOOM! over the long run. The dentist hands you over a kit that you can bring home, but first teaches you how to use them properly.
Advantages of Professional treatment: Safety is a guarantee. Whitens teeth in just minutes. And gives whiter teeth than any other treatments with longer lasting results.
Disadvantages: The. Cost. Need I say more? lol. And again, just like any other whitening treatments, over usage leads to complications so listen to what your dentist tells you to do, like how often you should apply them, etc.
Quality & Affordable ZOOM! and At-Home Teeth Bleaching services are both offered at Yu Dental Center (already mentioned on my first blogger post: http://dauntlessdmd.blogspot.com/2014/05/yu-dental-center-giving-affordable.html) or you can visit Yu Dental Center's Facebook page, the link below Dauntless D.M.D. header.

DIY and Professional teeth whitening procedures both have their pro's and cons. Dauntless D.M.D. thinks that it's better to seek professional advice in a specific field that you are unfamiliar of. Architects and Engineers studied years to know how buildings work, Physical Therapists studied years to know how the muscoskeletal system works. Same as Dentists who studied 6 years just to provide the best and the safest oral treatments out there. At the end of the day it is still your choice, whether to do things yourself or go ask the dentist to do it for you. We still all want that "Megawatt Smile". Just always be careful and be aware of risky DIY's and false dentists.
A smile can quickly brighten someone's bad day.
So always wear a smile. :) and God bless you.
