How much baking soda do i use on my toothbrush to whiten my teeth ?

Baking soda : May remove surface stains but it doesn't whiten teeth. Although baking soda is an ingredient in many toothpastes - to use it by itself could be abrasive to your teeth.

Abrasion: Baking soda does not whiten your teeth. It is abrasive and can remove surface stains along with your enamel, bit by bit. It's like using powdered sandpaper. If you want to whiten your teeth, you will need to use whitening products, either otc or dentist dispensed.

None: You shouldn't put any baking soda on your brush to brush your teeth with. It has very abrasive materials that can harm the enamel of your teeth, instead use a tooth whitening toothpast , or HAV your teeth professionally whitenined by your dentist.

There are many: Commercially available brands of baking soda toothpaste that are safe. If whitening is what is desired, only professional whitening will give you tangible results. That would be a better alternative than a home made remedy. Hope this helps.

Several: There are several ways to whiten your teeth, but i would not consider the toothpastes that claim "whitening" or the otc methods. The best way to get a predictable tooth whitening is by a dentist. There are several sophisticated procedures with special lights and special lightening solutions (that are a lot stronger than can be bought otc.) bleaching trays are often made for home bleaching.

Not worth the effort: There are 6 ways to whiten teeth once stained: oxidation (professional method w/ peroxides), abrasion (toothbrush w/ toothpaste, baking soda or pumice), "white-out" type "tooth paints, " dehydration ("zoom/laser" methods or a hair dryer), contrast (an old theater trick: dark lipstick, suntan, dark skin) and dental materials. As a whitener, baking soda is a poor abrasive. Talk to your dentist.
