There really is a difference between Bleaching and Whitening.
Products that contain bleach must meet FDA guidelines which state: the term "bleaching" is allowed to be used only when the teeth can be whitened beyond the natural color. Bleach products contain hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide.
Whitening however is a term used when restoring a tooth's color by removing debris and dirt. Technically speaking, toothpaste may be a tooth whitener. Since whitening sounds better than bleaching, then some dentists incorrectly refer to bleaching as whitening.
What is the difference between over-the-counter products vs. what dentists use?
The whitening products that dentists use are more effective, but require correct use which is why it is not sold over the counter. They yield better results (if done correctly by a competent professional). They are very safe whey typically done by dentists. When done professionally, they typically last longer.
