What is the most effective and safest way to whiten my teeth?

I want to get my teeth professionally whitened. Help?
--------------------
You have two alternatives - to whiten teeth at home or at your dentist. If at home, there are a number of teeth whitening kits avaialable and you can get free trials with most of them. Just don't forget to read their TOS and unsubscribe of their servic? on time so that your cc won't be charged! Better to whiten teeth at dentist's office, but the price will bite!
