Yes it helps, but try not to do it very often it can wear the enamel off of your pearly whites

don't do it... it takes the enamel off your teeth... talk to your dentist about a safe whitening alternative. If you do use baking soda, use an extra soft toothbrush and don't scrub!

cleans them good, be careful because it is abrasive...
