I have heard that baking soad will remove some of the basic stains on teeth, and brighten them. I have started, but have only been doing it for a few days, so I don't expect any results for a few weeks. My question, is are there any serious side-effects I should be concerned about putting baking soda in my mouth. I'm not swallowing it, but I'm sure some goes down my throat, and I don't want to cause any un-needed health problems just b/c I want pearly whites! Any info. would be great! Thank you!

Jennifer,
I LOVE baking soda!
I brush with it to whiten my teeth.
I gargle with it to freshen my breath.
I drink it (1/4 teaspoon in 1 cup of warm water) to settle my stomach after I eat food that is too spicy.
I use it to exfoliate my skin when I run out of Clinique.
I used a box when I set my kitchen on fire (don't ask).
Check the Arm & Hammer website for other useful tips using baking soda.
To answer your question, baking soda will not harm your teeth or your body.

i exploit baking soda on a daily basis, it cleanes your teeth more effective powerful than toothpaste. mixture somewhat sea salt with it and that is even more effective powerful. It doesn't scratch the coach, yet primary toothpaste can... I did a reaserch paper on that once. Infact my uncle also makes use of in uncomplicated words baking soda mixed with sea salt to sweep his teeth, even as he went to his dentist for a examine up his dentist requested him what he change into using because he had not in any respect considered such sparkling teeth. Use a mixture of two/3 cup baking soda with a million/3 cup sea salt, or you should use in uncomplicated words baking soda.

Baking soda is great for your teeth and gums - it is even better than toothpaste (no deadly rat poison). You can swallow the baking soda with no problem it will only make you burp, it is a natural ant-acid.

baking soda is fine to use. It really wouldn't hurt you if you swallowed it. Some foods and antacids contain it, so don't worry about it being unhealthy.
