Using baking soda to brush your teeth?

I'm always using plain Crest toothpaste. (Or Colgate). I used to brush my teeth 3 times a day. Now i limited to 2 since i don't have time anymore. But my teeth have never been that pearly white color.





If i used baking soda to brush my teeth, will they help turn my teeth bleach white?


And are there any bad affects to brushing with baking soda? Does it harm your teeth in any way? And is it safe incase you accidently swallow some?Using baking soda to brush your teeth?
When I was younger mom had us use baking soda to brush with..didn't hurt me.Using baking soda to brush your teeth?
most whitening toothpastes contain baking soda as a main ingredient BUT there is no soild proof that it can whiten your teeth... color of your teeth rests on your diet... extremely cold or hot stuff can damage your gums and later rot your teeth. coffee, tea, smoking and certain foods are known to stain your teeth... its nothing strange not to have pearl white teeth. best thing to do is vist the dentist and get a teeth whitening session arranged and then try and maintain your teeth.
I would only use baking soda max twice a week as it's a bit hard on the gums. It does remove the discolouration you get from tea and coffee and makes the teeth appear whiter. The only things that will bleach your teeth are chemicals and there is some evidence to suggest that this does some long term damage. Snow white teeth are unnatural and it's an American fad that has spread over here. Someone told me once that the colour of your teeth, when clean but unbleached, matches the colour of your bones and is unique to you.That's why dentists have crowns in an array of shades to match individual differences.
well baking soda is a food substance i use baking soda and yes it works very well but u dont just put baking soda on u get baking soda put it in a bowl and put lemon juice in it thats how becomes pearly white and the flavour is yummo!!!
I use baking soda too and nothing has happened to me
