    There are approved bleach for tooth. check your local dentist. never use something like clorox or whatever to whiten your tooth. Its harmful, actually there are many ways to natural tooth whitening..

    How about using strawberries, I think it safer and cheaper as a natural tooth whitening technique

    bleach is poisonous & corrosive. u shouldn't do that. peroxide is what they use in those whitening strips so u could probably use that. peroxide is a good replacement 4 bleach 4 cleaning & laundry 2.

    Harm. Putting bleach near/in/around your mouth is harmful to your lungs. Aswell as the enamel.

  • NO!

    Do you want to die?!?

    Why did you bleach them BEFORE you asked this question? Jesus....Use Hydrogen Peroxide You know, the stuff for cuts and scrapes thats usually in a brown bottle. It works safer and better.

    The bleach they use at the dentist is different than the chlorine bleach. Chlorine bleach is not safe for the mouth.

    Harm them, a lot.

    You do realize if bleach gets into you, it can be very harmful or even deadly.

    what were you thinking!?

    you need to go to your dentist and have them make you bleach trays and "ADA Approved" bleach syringe. dont ever use household bleach. you are harming your body so badly.

    Please don't use bleach on your teeth...you can use a mixture of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide, but bleach...never. (Don't swallow hyrdogen peroxide either).
