Whitening teeth with baking soda?

Question

Is it true that baking soda whitens teeth? What do you have to do? Do you add water to the baking soda and swish it around your mouth, or what? please answer! Does this work really well?

Answer 1

don't do it, its the worst thing you could do to your teeth, its worse than gargling with coke everyday.

baking soda removes the enamel on your teeth, other whiteners do the same but not to as great a degree as baking soda

just use white strips or go to the dentist

or don't bother whitening your teeth cuz it usually looks bad and fake anyway unless your teeth are a deep shade of orange or yellow don't bother whitening especially not with baking soda

Answer 2

you mix half water and baking soda and use it as toothpaste

Answer 3

I think its just a wives tale

Answer 4

I don't know about whitening, but I've been using baking soda ever since the scare of bad tooth paste coming into US markets from overseas. I'm scared, too, of all those whitening agents put in regular tooth paste. I don't think anyone knows the long-term affect of whiteners on teeth. It may be eating all the enamel off, and enamel is never replaced by the body.
