I don't have dental insurance to go to the dentists office, but would really love whiter teeth. I heard brushing with baking soda and peroxide really works, but does it do harm to teeth with cavities, or take the enamel off?
--------------------
NO, we reccomend this in our office all the time, and NO one has EVER had a problem, brushing 2-3 times a day is all and you can alter this formula with your regular toothpaste. Get a bottle of: Hydrogen Peroxide 3% (H2O2)- Use fresh product and a Box of Baking Soda (any brand is fine) Wet toothbrush with Hydrogen Peroxide then dip in the baking soda, a paste will form on the brush…brush as shown, focusing on the gum line using a gentle, massaging circular motion. Brush all tooth surfaces, and tongue. . For oral use, you can dilute the 3% hydrogen peroxide with up to 10 parts water. Adjust dilution to your taste Rinse the mouth well when you are done Baking soda has the effect of increasing alkalinity in the mouth, thereby neutralizing acids produced by the bacteria responsible for plaque and tooth decay. Baking soda is also a mild abrasive and whitens teeth. Hydrogen peroxide is alkaline and bubbles and foams as it destroys the bacteria. It also cleans the tongue Alternate this formula with your regular toothpaste. Not for use by those with High Blood pressure or salt-restricted diet.
