Whitening teeth

• I have been using baking soda with hydrogen peroxide for many years. I read an article by a progressive dentist long before they started including these ingediants in commercial toothpaste. He said the combination was especially effective in killing bacteria in the mouth and on the gums. Of course, don't swallow and rinse well. I usualy follow up with a mouthwash like amber Listerine.
  
  
• Glad to hear someone else uses hydrogen peroxide. I have been using it for about one year now.Can't say my teeth are any whiter, but I have had less mouth ulcers since using it.
  
  
• The best thing for whiter teeth is too brush it twice a day and sometimes whitening sets cost way more then they are suppose to so brush your teeth as often as possible.
  
  
• Mix one part baking soda and one part iodized salt, add water to make a paste. Spread this one your tooth brush and brush as normal. This will remove plaque as well as whiten teeth. By all means, do not swallow this. Also, do not use this very often as it will make your gums feel raw. Once a day is fine unless you experience rawness, then decrease the use to every other day. Enjoy!
