Answers:
No, that's an old thing from the days when people had not much choice.
Baking soda only helps to remove stains from teeth, but doesn't whiten them, also it can damage enamel of your teeth.
You should not use baking soda.
These days there are toothpastes better at whitening teeth then baking soda and don't have the danger of damaging enamel. You can find the whitening toothpastes in your local stores. There are also special whitening stripes with hydrogen peroxide, these are really for whitening very fast, 2-5 shades in a matter of days.Health Question & Answer

Baking Soda won't bleach your teeth, but it will help get plaque off and make them shine. Be warned that Baking Soda is an abrasive and if you use it too much, the enamel on your teeth can get damaged.

- brush your teeth with salt
