How do I use baking soda and lemon juice to whiten my teeth?

I want to whiten my teeth, since my front ones are quite yellow, but my baby teeth are still pearly white! I've heard that you can use lemon juice and baking soda to whiten your teeth, but how? Do you use them to make a paste and put it on your teeth for a bit, or...? I don't want to use peroxide for some rather strange personal reasons, and I don't want to use crest white strips since my friend who used them advised me against it aswell as several others.
Answer:

I don't know if I would use lemon juice; the acid can erode the enamel on your teeth. My dentist advised me to use peroxide and baking soda by dampening the brush with the peroxide, then dipping it in the baking soda and brushing. You might try it with lemon juice if you like, but I wouldn't do it daily.

I wouldn't use that since it can damage your enamel. I would see your dentist about professional whitening since home remedies will not get you the results you are looking for anyway. If you still have baby teeth that means your teeth have to be rather new, so I wouldn't damage the permanent teeth you already have.

Commercial tooth whiteners use hydrogen peroxide and are expensive and inconvenient. A cheap and natural tooth whitening home remedy uses few strawberries but certain precautions have to be taken. I found the information at
