Can Coca Cola be used to WHITEN teeth? And how would one apply the stuff, with a!


Question: NO! When drinking coca colar the teeth can begin to show white areas from drinking too much cola, but this is a bad white. It is called demineralization, which means the acid and sugar from the cola has started to try and make cavities but has not actually made a cavity. Whitening strips are much safer to use or use a baking soda/peroxide mix to brush with. These methods do not expose the teeth to acid and cause whitening, instead they polish stains off teeth and help make the enamel whiter safely as long as you do not abuse the white strips.

I don't think so, http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_effect_do... if you really would like to try, you should gargle with coke, spit it out and brush with your tooth brush. Don't use too much of it.

I know it can be used to settle an upset stomach, but never heard of it being used to whiten teeth.

On the contrary, caffeine and the dyes used to make soda actually stain teeth.

no, it stains your teeth brown

NO!! It stains your teeth and contains lots of sugar that causes cavities and acid that eats away at your teeth.

Coca Cola stains yoru teeth! Alot!

No - Not At All. It Can Stain Them Though!!

Coca Cola is actually pretty harsh on your teeth. In science a fellow student put a cow's tooth in a glass of coca cola over night, and it almost dissolved all of it. gross enough that i won't drink it or put it anywhere near my teeth
