yes you certainly can. it is commonly found in toothpaste anyway. hydrogen-peroxide, baking soda, and salt are all good whitening agents. it doesn't taste too good though.

Use it as a mouth wash. Dilute it with water and swish it around in your mouth for like 30-45 seconds. It tastes nasty, but you'll notice a difference in about a week if you do it daily. Oh, and don't do it more than twice a day, because it will eventually start to erode the enamel on your teeth.

I'd have to say definitely YES. I have a friend who has been a dental assistant for years; she uses hydrogen peroxide WITH baking soda--never buys a tube of toothpaste. I'd certainly trust her, but prefer toothpaste "taste"..

Yes, but dilute it with a little water, otherwise, if you continue you will eventually get some slight chemical burns in your mouth.

I use to do it when one of my gums was bleeding. There is a toothpaste with peroxide in it.

You can do it temporarily but long term use can cause a condition called black hairy tongue. If you see your tongue turning black then just stop doing it and the condition will go away in time.

Sure can but dilute it with water first and avoid your gums, it will bleach them too.
