OK, I swear by brushing with baking soda! I brush with it everyday once a day. And give it a week and you have beautiful white teeth. And just remember, baking soda is completly healthy for you. It won't hurt you! If it did hurt you, why do people bake with it.?.?.? :)Health Question & Answer

I use baking soda instead of toothpaste. It works well once you get over the taste. I don't suggest you swallow any. My dentist ask me all the time how I get my teeth nicely white when I drink coffee and smoke. Baking soda is cheaper than anything thing else out there.
Try it for a month daily and see what a difference it makes.Health Question & Answer
