Important Precautions Before Trying
Although this method is safe for most people, there are a few precautions you should keep in mind before making it part of your routine.
Check for Sensitivity
Always do a small patch test first. Apply a tiny amount of the paste to one tooth and wait to see if you feel any discomfort. Some people with very sensitive teeth or gums may not tolerate baking soda well.
Avoid Overuse
Baking soda is mildly abrasive. Using it too often can wear down enamel over time. For best results, limit this whitening treatment to 2–3 times per week.
Consult a Dentist if Needed
If you already have dental issues such as cavities, gum disease, or very sensitive teeth, it’s a good idea to talk with your dentist before trying any home whitening methods.
