I am getting tired of going into the stores and buying all of these teeth whitening products which don't seem to be working at all. I was told by a friend last week that I should try brushing with a little bleach and baking soda.

No Bleach!!!
Try baking soda and wet it with peroxide ( brush as usual)
I had awfully yellow teeth and crest whitestrips premium worked wonders (use for 10 days)
Now I use arm and hammer whitening t.p to maintain and about 1.5 to 2 years redo the whitestrips.....

Baking soda is good but bleach is very toxic. Use hydrogen peroxide instead - it is a much safer alternative to bleach in all sorts of applications (ie. laundry, disinfecting), and is used by many people to safely whiten teeth and sanitize the mouth.

NOOOO dont use bleach on your teeth the only bleaching agent you can use safley on your teeth is carbamide peroxide. This is the bleach dentists give you, the reason bleaching kits from shops dont work is because they dont contain carbamide peroxide. Baking soda would be ok to use just once a week as it is abrasive and can wear away at enamel.

why dont you try a whitening toothpaste or a toothpaste like arm and hammer that has baking soda in it. i am not sure if its a good idea to use bleach on your teeth. talk to your dentist.

GET A NEW FRIEND.
WHY?
BLEACH IS SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE. IT WILL KILL ANYTHING IT TOUCHES.
INSTEAD, GO TO A DENTIST WHO CAN GIVE YOU THE CORRECT DIAGNOSIS FOR THE STAINS AND GIVE PROPER TREATMENT.
BAKING SODA IS SAFE TO USE AND BECAUSE IT'S MILDLY ABRASIVE WORKS ON MANY STAINS.

lol, bleach?
baking soda and peroxide would work fine.
the bleaching gels that you see on commercials isn't ACTUALLY bleach -- it's called carbamide peroxide.
