"I do baking soda for brushing and hydrogen peroxide with water for a gargle."


Are you saying you use just plain baking soda for brushing (as opposed to some brand of toothpaste containing baking soda, like "Arm & Hammer"), and just plain, ordinary, brown-bottle hydrogen peroxide with water for a gargle (as opposed to some brand of mouthwash which contains hydrogen peroxide, like "Listerine Healthy White", or "Colgate Peroxyl")?

If that is the case, what measurements of water/hydrogen peroxide do you use, and do they do an effective, noticeable job of whitening your teeth when you use them?

(Just wanted to be sure I really understand what you posted.   Thanks!)

Yep.

The H2O2 bottle even has the directions to use it as a gargle says mix with equal amounts of water for an oral abride solution, up to 4 times a day.

It is a bit of a throat clincher if you don’t add enough water though. I always have a glass of water standing by to immediately rinse and fill it again a few times - else I gag something terrible.

I suppose it whitens my teeth some - but I drink so much coffee and tea that it just stains again .
