I have heard some say that they have used baking soda or powder as a teeth whitener? I know that it is in some toothpastes, but is it actually safe to use just alone on your toothbrush? If so, is the soda or powder more effective?

Hello Me! Baking Soda is what you want to use. Arm and Hammer has a very convenient 12 ounce pourable container you can buy at any grocery store. It is cheap and very convenient. You can pour a teaspoon or two into a little medicine cup and leave it by your sink where you brush your teeth. This amount should last 5-7 days. Dip a slightly moist toothbrush in the cup and just the right amount will adhere to the brush. Brush your teeth as you normally do. Remember to brush your tongue also. And always remember to floss! Baking soda has a slightly salty taste to begin with, then when you are through, it leaves a pleasantly fresh, slightly sweet taste in your mouth that freshens your breath. It is good for you. It helps whiten your teeth slightly, and helps maintain the proper pH in your mouth. It is way less expensive than all the commercial toothpaste products on the market. I've been using it for years!
