Clean your teeth with baking soda
For a refreshing change of taste that naturally whitens your teeth, brush every so often with baking soda instead of your regular prepared toothpaste. Our challenge: The next time you brush, brush with a paste made from a little bit of baking soda and water. Rinse well with water afterwards.

it tastes so good but feels soo fresh
We did this growing up and now my dentist recommends it too.
This is a good occasional method. But I find am even better thing for whitening is to use GlyOxide(which you can buy at the grocery/pharmacy store for $5-$10) It’s the same stuff dentists use to whiten teeth, just not as high of a concentration. First time I used it I had amazing results.
I’ve also been doing this for years ,I brush as least 4 times a week with baking soda mixed with a little peroxide. Easy for me .
I fell out of the habit. This is a gentle reminder to start a few times a week again. I agree with the Hydrogen Peroxide and also gargle/rinse with white vinegar (not everyday though). It helps breakdown plaque buildup.
i have been doing this for years easy challenge
I am very particular about my teeth I brush 3 times (sometimes 4) a day along with flossing & using a whitening toothpaste and pre rinse. I use teeth whiteners every six months. I always have a good report at my clean ups at the dentists I have tried the baking soda, I do not care for the grit or taste but it works very well & I do use it now as part of my cleaning about twice a week.
I do this all the time and me teeth feel so clean and fresh and it also make my teeth brighter.
Been using baking soda to brighten my teeth for 2-3 yrs now!! Much better than toothpaste!!
I love using baking soda to brush my teeth.They feel so clean afterwards and look whiter.
I too have done this for a few years now — ever since Arm and Hammer mentioned it on television. And, a couple times a month I add a few drops of hydrogen peroxide. The bubbling effect adds to the whiteness of my teeth, kills germs and freshens my breath.
I’ve used baking soda for years. Hydrogen Peroxide is good too, just don’t try it with baking soda!
gives my mouth a clean feel, my grandmother used to do this.
I have just started and already love it.I wish I had done this way earlier
Brushing my teeth with baking soda really did get my teeth whiter. I also like to use arm and hammer toothpaste with baking soda
I brushed my teeth with baking soda for 3 months last year and my teeth are so white and bright you gotta wear shades! :)
I have used baking soda for a long time. I believe it works! Makes teeth whiter.
My family has used baking soda for years! I do try to give my teeth a break and only use it 3-4x/wk-my teeth tend to get sensitive. You teeth will feel like you’ve just had them cleaned!
I’ve done this and it makes my teeth look brighter!
I’ve heard of this, but never tried it.
