Is Baking Soda Good For Whitening Teeth?

So I tried whitening my teeth with baking soda...?

  • I didn't swallow any baking soda, I just rinsed it out... but I kind of have a slight stomach ache (could be a psychological thing or a coincidence I guess...) and even worse was the dead fish taste I got in my mouth while using the water/baking soda solution.. Also I noticed warnings about overdosing with baking soda on the back of the box... why is that? Can baking soda be harmful to you? Please help, thanks.

  • Answer:

    You are fine. Use baking soda + hydrogen peroxide + water if you want to whiten your teeth. Go online and look up the recommended recipe for this solution.

No it can't hurt you. We wouldn't bake with it if it was harmful

Actually it will work... Well brushing your teeth with baking soda will temporarily make them whiter... Baking soda is a mild abrasive and will take off a layer of grime.. However you shouldnt use it all the time. You can also gargle with 1/2 peroxide 1/2 water As far as the baking soda making you sick... Unless you swallowed a bunch it wont be a problem... Its BAKING soda we use it to cook with...

Nah, I dont think its harmful. If it was then they wouldnt tell you that you can take in internally. && Baking soda works, just takes A WHOLE LOT LONGER. Try peroxide.

Embrace It!

Someone told me to use baking soda if i wanted whiter teeth, it doesnt work although it does make your teeth feel real clean.... I would stay away from the stuff x x x x

It won't make such a difference, well at least not enough to continue with that awful taste...go to a dental school and they will make you a free bleaching tray...they love to do this cause it's practice they need, and the bleaching agent is $5-10 at a dental office so don't bother with that stuff

ok first u put just enough to cought ur tooth brushbrisels. and u brush ur teeth with it. and second u might have swallowed some bye mistake. make sure when u brush with it u rinse good enough. if u are sick at the stomach call ur doctor and tel him/her what u did. they will know the right answers to all ur health care answers.
