yess but use arm and hammer tooth paste

Answer 4

I used to buy whitening strips.  Later I heard that one can create a paste of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide and brush with this to whiten teeth.  It worked!  It is a lot cheaper than whitening strips.  Whitening strips consist of hydrogen peroxide.  A word of caution, hydrogen peroxide is hard on the gums.  I only did 4 treatments of the paste in one week and waited a week.  Now I do it only once a week because I drink lots of tea and coffee also. I'm not a dentist or hygienist, thus I am not an expert. I can only share with you what worked for me.  Also, I talked with my dentist before I did this.  So, I recommend you consult your dentist before doing this.

Yes, it stains the teeth white. But most toothpastes all ready have baking soda in them so you dont need to add more.
