DIY teeth whitening
Some popular and available on the market DIY teeth whitening methods are tape strips, dental trays and toothpaste. They utilise hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, typically in a gel base. These chemicals are caustic to the gums.
If you have sensitive teeth, such a teeth whitening may be not for you. Applying tape strips or dental trays will require some discipline (you should not eat for some time etc). The effectiveness is high but will depend on your accuracy in following the instructions. Teeth whitening toothpaste is less effective, takes longer time to achieve results and generally is less effective.
