There are many tooth whitening treatments available, some of them are:
1) Bleaching kits: Tooth bleaching solution is applied to the mouth tray and it is inserted into the mouth. After an hour or two or as mentioned in the kit the tray is removed. Most of them work for an hour. The solution contains peroxide, which bleaches the enamel. The carbamide peroxide content in the solution is normally of ten, sixteen or twenty two percent. Some bleach is used twice a day for two weeks while others are used overnight for 1-2 weeks.
2) Laser tooth whitening: A solution is applied on the teeth. A wall made out of rubber is placed on the teeth and the laser is directed towards the teeth and the heat generated enters the teeth through the solution and the treatment takes an hour or so. After the treatment is completed you can see the changes.
3) Whitening Toothpastes: These toothpastes have special chemicals that remove the stains. The main advantage of the whitening toothpaste is it does not change the natural color of the teeth. Colgate Simply White Advanced Whitening Toothpaste is recommended.
4) Tooth whitening strips: These strips are placed on the teeth and are removed after 30 minutes. These are very effective and are recommended. They also contain peroxides.
If the above mentioned ways of treatment are done properly then there won’t be any problem. There is no long-term data on safety of these tooth-whitening treatments.

The product one picks for whitening usually depends on cost and speed.
-Firstly, whitening toothpaste usually is not as effective as the methods listed below, and is definitely not as fast.
My favorite is the Crest Whitestrips Professional, which one can get from the dentist. These are just like the ones at the store, but are stronger and work faster and deeper. They are under $100, and about $50 on special. You only have to wear them for an hour a day, and it's OK if u skip a day here and there. Plus, you only do it for about two weeks, and then it lasts for several months, if not almost a year.
Why I Don't like these:
-Trays. They are expensive because the dentist has to make them for you, and they work just like the strips. In addition, trays often have a gel that must be worn overnight, which is much longer than the strips. In addition, trays are not practical for anybody who has to wear another mouthpiece at night, such as a retainer.
-In-office whitening. This system is very effective but also costs the most. It is definitely fast, but often times the dentist recommends trays afterward, anyway.
In any case, these systems all require the person to stay away from foods and drinks that could stain their teeth. Common items include coffee, sodas with coloring (anything except Sprite), and even some chocolate. This is especially true during the treatment and a few weeks after the fact.

Commercial tooth whiteners use hydrogen peroxide and
are expensive and inconvenient. A cheap and natural
tooth whitening home remedy uses few strawberries
but certain precautions have to be taken.

Go to your regular dentist and have him do it professionally,
it works better. 100% guarantee, no lie. It might coast you but
it's worth the money. My Sisters work in L.A. Dentist office,
Different ones ,but have gotten their teeth Whiten and it is pure
White.

I think ZOOM is the best out there. It's a bit expensive but well worth it! Talk to your dentist.
