I wouldn't do this. Comments By: Steve I considered this once. I made a bit of paste with baking soda and water. Before I brushed my teeth with it, however, I tried something. I took a bit of it between my fingers and rubbed them together. It was very gritty. I don't care who recommends this. I don't even care if you are a dentist. Baking soda is horribly abrasive and will damgage your teeth.   baking soda Comments By: said it messes your teeth up   hate it Comments By: Sam i can believe this i hate it if u want 2 try it dont it stained my teeth and before u couldnt tell they were stained but know there all yellow with stains   You all need to stop putting down her idea it really works!!!!!!!!!! Comments By: Victoria i have tried this before and it does work. Baking soda is also an ingredient in toothpaste so it should qork anyway. By the way how can trying this idea yellow ur teeth?

So I just put a pinch of two of the baking soda in with a tbsp amount of water and use it like I would with normal toothpaste?! How many times a week should I aim to do it? Is everyday too much/or too dodgy? Should I alternate it with using salt to achieve the best results? X   it works but harms your gums...

I haven't got baking soda can i use baking powder instead? TipKing says: No it hs to be baking soda. Bicarbonate of soda.   unsure Comments By: Nia I got this idea from a friend, and began using the stuff this morning - and already, I can see my teeth are a bit whiter and fresher. Aside from this, it did make my gums bleed a lot. But that's just a small price to pay, seeing as my gums bleed every day thanks to my retainer. I'd reccomend it!   Please tell me... Comments By: Arbaz Khan Please tell me which is the correct and sure method to whitened my teeth.Is anyone whitened his/her teeth with any home use method? Please tell me....my e-mail id is cool_arbaz73@yahoo.com   50 % guys Comments By: tiffany27 well iv just used baking soda for the first time and i saw a difference..... but my gums bled really bad i have a retainer so my gums are sensitive though for it to make my gums bleed it makes me wonder how often is alright for it not to demage the enamal on ur teeth my mouth feels heaps fresher though... still the ebst way to go would probably be the dentist $80 have ur teeth cleaned its worth it   Advice Comments By: Tammy I would suggest all new-doers to brush teeth everyday twice a day with your Ordinary toothpaste firstly. This will, if at all, improve the healthiness and Whiteness of teeth and gums. Every tooth is as important. Gums are also as important as teeth. Without it, we would be in ugly pain! 1.Apply a small amount of baking soda to the tip of your toothbrush. a small bristle brush is preferable for this. 2. Starting from the back tooth on your top set, brush circularly ON THE TEETH, NOT ON GUMS, all the way round. do the same with your bottom teeth. (inside and out!) 3. rinse mouth with cold water to ensure the whiteness is stable. 4. you could continue with this everyday, but i would advise you to use a generously large amont (which means not very big) once a day. However, for use twice a day, use g. small amounts in the morning, and night. i hope this helps!   Its not that bad! Comments By: Vanessa Baking soda is in toothpaste so its not harmful in any way..and hopefully you brush you teeth everyday without them turning yellow or something!   Baking Soda is magic Comments By: Cheryl How can I take any of the views above seriously, when none of you can write properly. Are you all under 10 years old? Are you even trying to write in English? Sheeesh! What type of forum is this? Baking Soda does not damage your teeth or gums and is a common ingredient in a lot of toothpastes. It is also good for cleaning most things. Oh, and it makes cakes nice and fluffy.   HELP ME PLEASE Comments By: Desperate Uh..does this method really works? I dont want to damage my gums. But i really want my teeth to be white. I dont want people go around thinking im smoking becuz my teeth are stained. :(   ummm baking soda obviously works! Comments By: anon umm whoever says baking soda doesnt work becuase its gritty is retarded. tooth cleansers are supposed to be gritty its what makes it work, its in toothpaste for a reason! baking soda is probably the cheapest and best working way to clean your teeth, i dnt care what anyone else says it works.   it really does work Comments By: CARRIE baking soda really works just use it with toothpaste.PUT TOOTHPASTE ON YOUR TOOTHBRUSK AND DIP IT ON BAKING SODA   IT WORKS Comments By: lisa okay for whoever that said it doesnt works maybe you wasnt brushinq your teeth well because i seen a big difference in my teeth they getting their just gotta keep using it and dont stop and always mixing peroxide and salt w/ the baking soda does the job well.   a little confused Comments By: anon does this method really damage your gum??? i need an advice from a professional dentist or something   where do ya get it Comments By: anon do you buy baking soda from the supermarket or something, can we create our own baking soda. i realy want to try this but i don't know what baking soda looks like and where to obtain it.   this does work Comments By: DR T.

She was born in 1911, lived through 2 world wars and when she died at age 89 she still had all her own teeth!!!!!!   omg Comments By: Mustafa hello and i brushed my teeth with baking soda and it didn't work. i have bright yellow teeth and the baking soda didn't make a difference   omg Comments By: Jose LOL! yes, you buy baking soda from the supermarket.. like wal*mart.. it says Baking soda.. sord of yellow orange box... where the cleaning stuff are. =)   Help? Comments By: Madison I don't know whether I want to try Baking Soda, just because it sounds so unnatural and too chemicalish to put on my teeth. So i need to know that it works definatley and has no damaging side effects (or long term effects) thanks!!   Baking Soda is not dangerous Comments By: Sami Baking Soda is not bad for your teeth. I read it on the back of a Iron Deficiency Liquid Syrup Bottle. It says that this medicine stains teeth (The Iron Liquid), but this can be removed when baking soda is applied to teeth.   In just 2 days Comments By: Richie Red started using it, applying toothpaste to my tooth brush as regularly, then just placing my toothbrush facing down on top of a bed of bicarbonate and whatever stuck there, then i brushed my teeth, and just after 2 days of using it i started to notice the differnece. My teeth are not yet white but they are getting there.   This is a great way to whiten your teeth Comments By: Kate Regardless of what people say this is a great way to whiten your teeth as bicarb of soda is a bleaching product. Everyone should know this because if you leave it on your skin it will sting, this is because it is bleaching. Also it is a good way to clean your teeth as it is quite gritty, therefore will work like an exfoliant does on the skin.   truth Comments By: Courtney Appleyard I know quite alo of people who have used the baking soda remedy and have had brilliant results after a couple of weeks and I'm one of them successful people so trust me! They remove stains not replace them!   Brilliant Comments By: Ashlea After reading peoples views on bicarb, i decided to give it ago myself. Well what can I say, I brushed my teeth thoroughly first, dipped my toothbrush into bicarb of soda and brushed my teeth ensuring I did not brush it into my gums. I saw the results immediatley! When finished my teeth were sparkling! That was the best and cheapest thing i have ever used on my teeth!   BOO! Comments By: Holly everything is harmful if used too just stay away from your gums. often id start off just using it once a day gently on every tooth rinse with water use a whitening mouth wash which is for sensitive teeth (i add abit of salt into the paste) and also invest in another toothpaste which you use weekly just like you would go to the dentist for a real clean every few months and dont forget to floss.   Bicarb of soda versus baking soda Comments By: Anon Baking soda is bicarbonate of soda with extra ingredients. I believe it's the bicarbonate that needs to be used for teeth, perhaps that's why the people using baking soda disagree.   Blood Comments By: Natalie I just tried this for the first time, i could see an immediate improvement but the downside is when brushing the only thing i could taste in my mouth was blood even though my mouth wasnt bleeding
