The ADA recommends that if you choose to use a bleaching product, you should only do so after consultation with a dentist. This is especially  and extremely dark stains.


A thorough oral examination performed by a licensed dentist is essential to determine if bleaching is an appropriate course of treatment. You and your dentist together can determine the most appropriate treatment. Your dentist may then advise you and supervise the use of bleaching agents within the context of a comprehensive, appropriately-sequenced treatment plan.
