Those looking at teeth whitening procedures can try several different methods at home.
This is according to an article on 24medica.com by Adrian Wozniak, who says that these offer different benefits and minimal side effects, the most of common of which is gum irritation.
While none of these are as effective as professional dental whitening, he says, paint or brush-on formulas can help, with these applied after a person brushes their teeth in the morning or evening.
"This will probably work on teeth that only need to be lightened a few shades," Mr Wozniak wrote.
"Very yellow teeth and teeth stained through use of medications like tetracycline are unlikely to respond to this method."
The dental expert also recommended whitening toothpaste, which he referred to as the "easiest way" to whiten your teeth while at home.
Individuals with yellow teeth, however, should opt for teeth whitening strips, which consist of plastic strips coated on one side by hydrogen peroxide.
Those wanting to guarantee pearly white teeth should consider visiting a cosmetic dentist, with this accepted as the most effective and safe teeth whitening method.
