For health and safety reasons, NO!
Household bleach is a chlorine bleach, containing sodium hypochlorite which a strong oxidizer and is highly corrosive. It will whiten your teeth for sure but it could result with some extensive damage of your oral mucosa, that is to say that your gums, tongue, and tissues surrounding the mouth will be in danger for a possible burn. Ingestion of the solution is another risk to get concerned of.
Household bleach actually is not always dangerous as in fact it is the same substance used in the chlorinated water we drink in a certain dilution proportion believed to be safe. It is the concentration that makes it dangerous. To whiten the teeth however, it needs to be in high concentration to achieve its purpose which will also put your health into compromise.
If you have removable teeth (dentures), then there is no concern on using it. Go ahead, just make sure that you rinse it carefully and thoroughly.

Bleach On Teeth
2016-11-15 01:02:57 · answer #2 · answered by Anonymous · 0⤊ 0⤋
NO. Your teeth would not even turn white. The enamel would come off and your teeth would be very brown. Do NOT use bleach to whiten your teeth. You could however use a small amount of baking soda on a toothbrush and put a little peroxide on it. Then brush with that. But I would suggest just using tooth whiteners from the store. Good luck!

yes, but It can cause more harm down the road,, It can make your teeth and gums sensitive to cold and heat. It can break down the enamel on your teeth. If you are going to use a house-hold product use Baking Soda, 1tsp.. If you absolutely have to use the bleach use 1/4 tsp per 1/4 cup of water,, dip your tooth brush in it and brush, repeat until water is gone,, rinse very well....

Please do not try this. Household bleach is a very stong chemical and even diluted would probably cause irritated gums as well as damage to the enamel on your teeth, if you chose an everyday product to help whiten your teeth try baking soda, it is gentle, and has a small abrasive to help clean stains on your teeth.

actually yes. As we know sodium chloride is being widely used as a dysinfectant for waters in many countries. The secret is the ratio of dilution. It shouldn't exceed 1 drop in a mouthful of water. It will harm your mouth mucosa if you try a higher amount, and if u ever happen to swallow it accidentally, because it is a corosive substance it seriously carries the risk of burning all your gastrointestinal mucosa as well, may even drill your oesophagus..I once have tried this, with 1-2 drops in a mouthful of water, but i don't really recommend, it's too dangerous and risky, and the result u get is not even satisfactory..Carbonate might be a better option

yes you can but be careful of your gums as they will whiten too and receed. Try to use hydrogen peroxide solution mixed with carbonate of soda this will be kinder to your mouth and you can get the both cheaply the first around $1 I got this from costco maybe they do it in the store and the second the same from the supermarket in the baking dept.

YES TRUST ME I AM A DOCTOR AFTER ALL
if you drink it with some hairs from a horses tail under a full moon thinking about white things your teeth and eye balls shall whiten but only if you also make a sacrifice of chicken blood to the spirits of all white things first

Ignore the right-wing fanatics, they were raised to believe that bleach can kill a man, but we both know that it won't, bleach is good for unclogging stuffy noses, it's a great aphrodesiac, and it will make your woman SCREAM with splender if you use it as a lube. Go and use it on your teeth for about 5 hours, they'll be so damn white, the government will restrict you to house arrest for carrying a solar-death-ray.

only if you can take them out of your mouth first, otherwise, it will KILL YOU
try mixing peroxide with water at a ratio of 1:3
swish with this mixture for 30 seconds two or three times a day.
the active ingredient in most commercial whiteners is peroxide, and this is a much cheaper way to get the same result
