Please help! what happens when you rub salt on your teeth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dry mouth: Your mouth is going to get really dry. Why would you want to rub salt on your teeth? To whiten them? Doesn't work. Get them cleaned professionally and then use a whitening product formulated for that purpose.
