Does the tooth whiten teeth?

Soda is a powder of small crystals that is able to remove plaque and other deposits from the teeth during mechanical cleaning. But when cleaning teeth with soda, not only unnecessary particles are removed, but also enamel is scratched, so this method of bleaching has a large number of opponents.

To whiten teeth with the help of soda it is possible with the help of such manipulations:

1. Dissolve the soda in a small amount of water, mix well, drop the toothbrush into this solution and brush the teeth.
2. Pour a pinch of dry soda onto the wetted bristles of the brush and clean. Can also be mixed with toothpaste.
3. We make a soda solution, impregnate them with a small piece of gauze. We wind it on the finger and brush our teeth.
4. We lower the toothbrush first into hydrogen peroxide, and then into soda and clean the teeth gently.

Recommendations for teeth whitening with soda

1. Before carrying out this procedure, the teeth should be strengthened. For this you need about 3 weeks before the beginning of bleaching:

• increase the consumption of foods rich in fluoride and calcium (dairy products, fresh vegetables and fruits);
• drink vitamin complexes in tablets or capsules;
• rinse your mouth with tea tree infusion.

Whitening teeth with soda, as well as peroxide, is possible at home, but you should be aware of the negative consequences of this method:

• the layer of enamel is thinner;
• the color of the teeth becomes unnaturally white;
• increases sensitivity to the temperature of food and liquid consumed, painful sensations appear during eating;
• plaque is formed faster;
• can begin to hurt the gum.

Therefore, despite the fact that this is the most accessible and effective way to make teeth white, many recommend simply taking a good whitening toothpaste and adjusting the food.
