A member asked:
What do you advise if i was wondering if brushing with baking soda or swishing hydrogen peroxide around in my mouth will whiten my teeth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Advice: Get your teeth professionally cleaned first, then use whitening products specifically formulated to whiten your teeth. The items you mentioned will not effectively whiten you teeth, but actually damage your enamel and soft tissues.
