Regular household bleach is not used in whitening the teeth. Not only will it harm your teeth but it will severly burn and damage the oral tissues. If you are wondering about bleaching your teeth that is the term that most people use when referring to whitening your teeth. It can be achieved by multiple methods like Crest Whitestrips or having custom made trays by a dentist to put a whitening gel in and then wearing over your teeth.... Please no bleach!
Hope that helps!

If you mean like Clorox, yes something will happen, you will probably die from poisoning. I would not recommend using that, it would be extremely dangerous.
But, the products they have on the market today that will help whiten your teeth may be what you are asking about. I have tried them and they will brighten your smile, but they also make my teeth very sensitive to cold and heat and they are expensive.
They will brighten your teeth some but if you drink lots of caffeine filled beverages or smoke it will not be a permanent solution.

Don't do that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you are talking about home use bleach, YES, it will destroy your teeth.
Not only that it is a POISON!!
Go to your dentist or over the counter whiteners.
