According to the FDA, the term bleaching applies to only such a dental procedure which whitens your teeth beyond their natural white color. So, most of these procedures involve the use of powerful bleaching agents such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide.
On the other hand, whitening refers to a dental process of cleaning debris and dirt from the teeth. Therefore, any tooth cleaning product like toothpastes can be called dental whiteners.
There are a number of reasons that can cause discoloring of teeth; like dental hygiene, smoking, drinking, food habits, etc. Another very important factor that leads to staining of teeth is our growing age. The process of bleaching restores the pearly white color of your teeth, and helps you smile more confidently.

In case you want to it in a better way; you can opt for the at-home kits that are designed by professionals or dentists.
