Please help! does baking soda ruin your gums when you use it to whiten your teeth?

Baking Soda: Baking soda can be used to help maintain dental health. It is very important to dilute the baking soda to minimize an abrasive effect. It has not been documented to "ruin the gums" but as with any modality, it must be used in the proper concentration and with the proper method.
