However, it's not advisable to do this, due to the risk of getting it wrong and harming yourself. Being acidic in nature, overdoing it can have adverse effects.
So why take the risk. After all, there are many tried & tested home teeth whitening products available, many of which are available on free trials so you can check their results and if they suit you. (Whitening Ultra being once such product)
