Brushing teeth with baking soda questions?!


Question: I was wondering if it is safe to brush your teeth with baking soda. Can baking soda expire? Cause my parents bought baking soda at the store like a few years ago and I brushed my teeth with baking soda. When I woke up my lip skin kinda peeled off on the inside of my mouth. Is that normal when using baking soda to brush your teeth? If it won't harm me I will continue on using it. How do I use baking soda when brushing my teeth? Do I just put toothpaste on my brush then a sprinkle of baking soda? And does it really make your teeth whiter? (I don't have yellow teeth. My teeth is white but I want them to be whiter lol.) Thank You!

Baking sode will not hurt your teeth, especially when brushing. Before the invention of toothpaste, folks brushed their teech with baking sode and many still do. Baking soda is used like a light abrasion for the purpose of cleaning. Normally, mix baking soda with some lemon juice. The lemon juice acts like a whitener. I suspect that baking soda has an expiration date, like everything else.

If you don't have any pain or swelling on your lip, then you should be okay. It would be a very, very good idea to buy a new box of baking soda!

dont use out of date stuff...why not just use whitning tooth paste if they are already white?

it whitens ur teeth

lol

i did the same thing

but my lips didnt peel or anything

just go buy some whitening strips or somthing

why would you use baking soda in the first place! Brush it like a normal persom!

Baking soda last a really long time & is safe to use but be careful cuz it's abrasive on your gums. The lip skin peel is normal for it has happened to me.

Otherwise it's really good 4 u.

Brush your teeth with salt and baking soda.Make sure it is not expired! sprinkle equal amounts of both in your hand and wet the tooth brush,dab the brush on the mix and proceed to brush your teeth and tongue for a full two minutes.Your mouth will feel so clean and fresh.wont taste all that great.so rinse it really good.

If you look at the ingredients in a bottle of toothpaste, it usually says, "Baking Soda" or sometimes its even on the front of the bottle, "With Baking Soda". That's why some toothpaste is white.

If you want to just use the Baking Soda, put some in a Dixie cup and add water until it has the consistency of toothpaste. The just dip your toothbrush in the mixture and you are ready to go.

You can also use Hydrogen Peroxide to brush your teeth too. (The stuff that comes in the dark brown bottle)

Hope this helps! ?
