dont go for baking powder as it really weakens your teeth and if you are super conscious maintain a proper oral hygeine and rub lemon peel over it

It unquestionably helped whiten my teeth, but is probably best to use it just a couple times a week at most. I've mixed it with coconut oil to soften it, letting it melt in my mouth, and I use a very soft toothbrush, and very gently brush and not for an extended period.

The idea being, I try to reduce the abrasiveness, while still being able to take advantage of the sodium bicarbonate's high alkalinity to neutralize acidity that can cause cavities.

It does seem to whiten as well. Again, I'd just say be cautious of the abrasiveness so we're not destroying enamel.

I also only use Bob's Red Mill brand, since they promote that their product is aluminum-free. We don't need sublingual absorption of aluminum!

BTW!...It is baking SODA as compared to powder!
