Whitening toothpastes can help reduce certain surface stains, but they cannot lighten the internal color of the teeth. However, when used excessively, some products may also be too abrasive for the enamel. Over-the-counter whitening methods may seem appealing, but they are not always suitable for every patient. Repeated use of baking soda or unregulated products can lead to premature enamel wear or increased tooth sensitivity. It is still recommended to seek professional advice before beginning a whitening treatment.
