Home remedies for teeth whitening are never an ideal option. Moreover baking soda being abrasive in nature can cause more harm than good if not used properly. Best option would be consulting a dentist for the same. He will give you the best treatment options after a detailed checkup. Moreover cleaning of teeth with machine will show some improvement in the overall look of the teeth. It also ensures that all the food debris and dirt are got rid off from the teeth and the gums.
Next Steps
Kindly visit a nearby dentist for the best treatment option.

As you cannot change the natural shade of your skin, similarly you cannot change the natural shade of your teeth. If your teeth are pale, they will appear pale only.
Some whitening procedures may give you a bright smile but its temporary...lasts for few days to weeks.
All teeth whitening procedures have some risk of teeth sensitivity.
Ultrasonic teeth cleaning is a completely safe procedure and should be done every 6 months in order to prolong life of healthy teeth and gums.
Do not try any home remedies.
