I read somewhere that brushing with sea salt whitens teeth. I tried it last night and woke up to noticeably whiter teeth - It Worked! But now I'm worried that maybe it's only cuz it peeled of a layer of my enamel. Can that be?
--------------------
No it doesn,t hurt the enamel and is safe to use Fine grained table salt is not the best choice, because it is not coarse enough to remove stains well. You will need to purchase some sea salt for this task. Sea salt's grains are much larger and so work better as an abrasive. Do not mix the salt in water before brushing, as this will dissolve the grains and defeat the purpose. Salt can be used alone by rubbing it directly on to teeth. It might be easier to add it into a paste like the one mentioned above. For this to work properly, mix the baking soda and peroxide together first and once it forms a past, then add the sea salt, (remember that you don't want to dissolve the salt in liquid). You can even add salt to the strawberry paste for extra abrasiveness.
