Answers:

Well I can tell you this much about it, my mom is 72 and uses it every day. Yep she brushes her teeth everyday with it and has for years. She has pretty white teeth as well. Not only does it whiten your teeth but it also kills bacteria that is in your mouth (on your gums and teeth). For the most part, she don't really use toothpaste or tooth gels, just the baking soda. All she does is just gets her tooth brush wet with water, dips her tooth brush in the box soda (she keeps one in the bathroom) and then brushes her teeth. You can't really can't use to much of it. As a matter of fact, when she was growing up, they couldn't afford tooth paste, so the soda is what they used to brush their teeth with.
