Is it safe to use baking soda and hydrogen peroxide for tooth whitening?

Yes: You may want to alternate with a regular toothpaste since baking soda is abrasive and may remove enamel.

Not recommended: Although the use of baking soda and peroxide during tooth brushing is probably safe, I do not recommend the practice. I suggest you see your dentist for safe and effective tooth whitening alternatives.

Very Little: This generally is not used for tooth whitening. However this is an old and faily successful treatment for gum disease.
