Strawberry??: Baking soda is a terrific deodorizer and mildly abrasive. It will not whiten the teeth like a professional whitener, but can remove superficial stains. I can't imagine a reason why to include strawberries unless the baking soda tastes that bad. See a dentist for better options that will be safe for your teeth.
