Question 1

can you mix cream of tartar with arm & hammer toothpaste with baking soda and peroxide for tooth whitening and is it harmful to teeth?

Accepted Answer

Tooth whitening: The blend you are asking about will certainly clean your teeth but if you are interested in tooth whitening then i would recommend many of the products made available by your dds. The products available from your dentist are far superior to the mix you are proposing. Over the counter whitening strips are also very effective. They are not as strong and will need a little more time to work.
