Is it ok to Gargle with peroxide and brush your teeth with baking soda to whitening them?

My mom said i can use those if i want to whiten my teeth, she does it and her teeth are really white...does anyone know if its bad or not??
--------------------
It is OK to brush your teeth with a bit of baking soda( I recommend only once a day), but there toothpaste that use baking soda, and have that nice minty fresh taste we have become used to. (My favorite is Arm & Hammer toothpaste) I haven't professionally whitened my teeth, I drink wine and coffee, and I am very happy with the results) I DON'T recommend gargling with peroxide unless you have a cut or ulcer that requires short periods of treatment. Peroxide is not recommended for daily use, and it has been proven to cause cancer when used for long periods of time.
