Get white teeth with bicarbonate of soda!!!

Submitted by Lorna

Add drops water to a table spoon of bicarbonate of soda to make a thick paste. Use this paste to brush your teeth. You will see instant results!!! However, only do this at most twice a week as it can make your gums sensitive. I think it's a great way to brighten up your smile instantly!!!

Dont Do It! Comments By: Sam It doent work. Also, It disolves your enamel so your more prone to tooth decay   IT'S GREAT!!!!!!! Comments By: Ellen Davis it works well and instantly!! i love it!!   Instant Results! Comments By: Amy Your teeth feel great afterwards and you can see instant results, but the baking soda tastes horrible.   JUST TRIED IT!!! Comments By: HawainT I like it... hehe prepare for AWSOME results and clean teeth... but the taste is AWFUL but worth it!!! ooo yeahhhh   It's ok... Comments By: Emily I agree. I'd imagine it'd wear down teeth quite a bit. I think instead of putting it directly on your teeth, choose a toothpaste with baking soda in it.   ya Comments By: anon or if you dont want to buys toothpaste with it then mix it with a teeth stregthening toothpaste   ????? Comments By: beccA Is baking soda the same as baking powder? or are they different? TipKing says. Baking soda is different from baking powder. http://www.bakingsodabook.co.uk/baking_soda_book_what_is_baking_soda.shtml   Can i use baking.. Comments By: Becca Can i use baking powder instead of baking soda to whiten my teeth then? TipKing says: No, it will not do anything.   Sensitive gums Comments By: Caps My wife has sensitive gums. Do you think we should try the Bi-carb idea to whiten her teeth or is it likely to cause ptoblems. Thanks in advance.   Well.. Comments By: Alison It works really well to make your teeth white. But I wouldn't do it unless you want decayed teeth and no enamel.   Lemon juice and toothpaste Comments By: Shayne Owen Try adding a squeeze of lemon juice into a cup then swill around your mouth for approxamately 30 seconds spit it out into the sink to get rid of the germs and bacteria and then brush your teeth for 2 minutes. Also floss and brush regularly. I must say ive tried this and now i have a fit blonde as my girlfriend becauase of my pearly white smile :) Good Luck   Great Comments By: Luke'us Puscus Great although i think you only notice a difference if you have badly discoloured teeth....i just tried it and although it tastes bad...i can see a slight change...the top of each tooth is slightly whiter =)   Bad. Comments By: Dr.Penski I consulted my dentist on this; and he told me it will give me really bad decay and it only works if you use it for over a month. People think they see a difference but they are only imagining it because thats what they want to see. Also i tried this and does NOT work at all.!   i need to make my teeth a bit whiter Comments By: Anon i need sum advice on whether i shud make my teeth whiter with the bicarbonate of soda coz i dnt want 2 make them even worse tht wud be a nite mare so plz giv me sum advice whether i shud or tht i shudnt use it thanx   mmm Comments By: hi does it actually work because i want whiter teeth but iam worried if it weakends my enamal???   doesnt work Comments By: amy this doesnt work at all it tastes horrible too and there is no difference   :o Comments By: Marie I Hadd Gum Disease When I Was Little And Thought i Would try This So I Did It Once Every 2 Months So I Wudnt Weaken My Enamel And My Teeth Have Never Been Whiter!! Its The Best Product Andd ( Cheap )   Try it Comments By: Lisa My family and I have been doing this for years it work very well you should try not to use it more that once a week/fortnight, always brush before and after using and try to avoid the gum line as it can make it a little sensitive for a few days. A TIP for the taste, put a few drops of peppermint food flavourings into the soda, I prefer almond but it really helps   IT WORKS Comments By: tim well, it works. very very well. i was reluctant to try it due to all the people who said it didnt work, and so i did some more research. it would take QUITE a bit of baking soda to destroy your teeth enamel completely, months of repitition which i doubt anyone would put themselves through anyway. i used it four times in a 20 day period, once every five days. my teeth whitened by at least two shades.
