Does baking soda and water whiten your teeth?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Brushing your teeth with baking soda and water twice a day for 2 weeks will whiten the color of the teeth. Brush for at least 2 minutes and make sure you rinse well after using the baking soda.

Yes it can: Yes it can help whiten teeth but should only be used once every 2 weeks since it is quite abrasive and can damage your tooth enamel. It certainly is not the best whitener available but can be useful as a maintenance tool.
