Iv been looking on the internet for at home remedies for teeth whitening. I found ALOT of people saying baking soda, peroxide...etc. But i found this one that said to mix baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, table salt, and a dab of regular toothpaste and mix to a paste and brush teeth. Says to use once a week and always brush with normal toothpaste afterwards. Anyone who has done something similar, has it worked? And will it wear away my tooth enamel or be bad for my gums?

My dads is a dentist, and when i asked him about the best toothpaste to whiten teeth he said what you have written - 'mix baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, and a dab of regular toothpaste and mix to a paste and brush' he didnt say anything about salt, but that definatley wouldnt hurt you - just might taste foul. if you brush with a normal toothpaste and rinse with a good mouthwash like listerine afterwards it wont damage your enamel. and yeah, like you said - only do this about once a week. The peroxide isnt good for your gums, but if you only brush once a week with it and make sure you rinse it then you'll be fine.
