Good Afternoon! Unfortunately this is not a good combination of products to use on your teeth. Baking soda is extremely abrasive and lemon juice is extremely corrosive to enamel. The only proven product there is to whiten teeth is either hydrogen or carbamide peroxide. These chemicals are found in whitening toothpastes and teeth bleaching products. The best way to whiten your teeth is to see your dentist and have either bleach trays made or do Zoom. Either one of these is perfectly safe for your teeth and the results are great! Hope this helps!

Hi there i would not recommend baking soda or lemon juice at all for your teeth. I have tea stains on my teeth. Crest White Strips HONESTLY improved the appearance of my stains and whitened my teeth so much. Today is my 3rd time using it and i can tell with a few more strips it'll fade away completely. I highly recommend Crest White Strips Advanced Seal. They are made to whiten your teeth. Lemon juice and baking soda are not and WILL cause more harm than good If you absolutely must need a natural alternative, Activiated Charcol from food health stores works I hear. It's on crunchybetty.com if you are interested :)

Lemon juice will soften the enamel on your teeth. It will not help whiten them. Baking soda once a week is okay. It would be best to ask your dentist for advice.

you can use baking soda daily. some dentist claim it's hard on the enamel but, i have brushed with it for years . i'm over 50 and have all but 2 of my real teeth. The lemon is acidic but, it is healthy. i don't see a problem. the sodium in BS may be an issue for you if you have high blood pressure.
