Is Baking Soda Safe to Whiten Teeth?

Baking soda may be okay for whitening teeth because it is not abrasive. However, brushing with baking soda must never replace fluoride toothpaste. For best results, we recommend using a fluoride toothpaste containing baking soda.

Baking soda may lighten stains, but professional teeth whitening in West Chester is best for superior results.

About Professional Teeth Whitening in West Chester, OH

Before professional teeth whitening, the dentist looks at your oral health to ensure candidacy. This consultation is significant if you are a new patient who has not been in to see us.

If you’re a candidate, we may start with teeth cleaning to promote better results.

We make professional teeth whitening convenient by creating take-home trays from impressions of your teeth. These tooth trays and our prescription-strength whitening gel are all you’ll need to brighten your teeth and remove stubborn tooth stains.

You must follow the instructions provided by our dental team and always call our office if you have questions.

Professional teeth whitening works beautifully on its own, but it can also complement a smile makeover that includes other options like veneers, tooth crowns, and dental implants.

We urge you to trust your teeth whitening to the dentist. Some systems are unsafe for your dental enamel and may be too gritty or harsh, leaving you with lingering sensitivity. These systems can also be too weak, leaving you with disappointing or uneven results. 

Remember, baking soda can help whiten teeth, but it should never replace fluoride toothpaste.
