Frequently Asked Questions:
Is this method safe for my teeth? Yes, when used correctly and in moderation, this natural whitening method is safe. However, avoid overuse, as the abrasiveness of baking soda may wear down enamel if used too frequently.
How often can I use this teeth whitening method? It’s recommended to use this treatment no more than 1–2 times per week to avoid damaging tooth enamel. If you have sensitive teeth or gums, you may want to try it once a week or less.
Can I use this on sensitive teeth? If you have sensitive teeth, use this method sparingly, and always be gentle when applying the paste. Consider reducing the amount of baking soda or skipping it if you experience discomfort.
How long before I see results? With consistent use, you may notice subtle whitening after a few applications. However, results may vary based on the individual and the severity of tooth staining.
Can I use this if I have dental work (fillings, crowns)? It’s best to consult with your dentist before using this method if you have crowns, fillings, or other dental work, as the ingredients may affect the materials used in your dental treatments.
