I brush my teeth with baking soda, does this have any ill-effect on my health since I can swallow some of it?

Question

I do this after brushing with toothpaste. How true this will make my teeth whiter? Thanks

Answer 1

i dont know how it affects ur teeth, but swallowing a little should be no problem. its barly corrosive and would be neutralized by stomach acid.

Answer 2

The amount you would ingest should be completely safe. However, if you use it on your teeth too much it can cause some abrasion and wear away enamel. I normally only recommend using once a week, and be sure to brush very gently when using it.

Answer 3

it cant harm you, toothpaste is baking soda based. it is the same as using toothpaste

Answer 4

it does make your teeth whiter.

and youll be fine as long as you dont swallow like the whole package haha

Answer 5

My grandmother used to tell me that it made teeth whiter, and I still use it.  It can't harm you, it is in some foods!
