I always ask my friends list everything...

Do those tooth whitening products (the ones you can do at home, not professional ones) actually work? Can anyone share their experiences with them?

I recommend brushing your teeth with baking soda once a week. You leave it on for about five minutes before rinsing it off. It does wonders over time and is less damaging and cheaper than bleaching agents. I say that as a tea drinker.

I saw a video of someone once cutting a strawberry in half and covering the flat surface with baking soda and using it like a toothbrush to cut the baking soda flavor.

LOL, that's really funny about the strawberry. As I was reading I thought you were going to say that the baking soda made the strawberry turn white! I have brushed with baking soda in the past (when we were out of toothpaste, ha ha) and didn't realize that it would help whiten teeth. I'd certainly prefer using it to chemicals if it works!

Yeah, one of the reasons I started using it is because it's not harsh chemicals & I have a fake tooth, so my teeth can never been #FFFFFF white as my fake tooth would look weird. But it does a good job at getting off those icky stains.
