Brighten up your smile
Did you know that there’s a way you can have a whiter smile from home? It’s by using a tried-and-tested home remedy like bicarbonate of soda or baking soda. “Just dip your wet toothbrush in soda and brush and rinse as usual.” Baking Soda in its chemical form is known as sodium bicarbonate, represented by the chemical compound NaHCO3. It can be found naturally in many mineral springs and it can also be produced artificially. It also dissolves very easily in water. The most common form of baking soda would be what we often find in our kitchen.
Baking soda gives your teeth a whiter appearance by removing tough stains. Baking soda works to actively remove dulling plaque and deep stains that are embedded deep in tooth surface crevices by dissolving into these areas. Once dissolved in water, Baking soda changes its chemical make up slowly and it gives off free radicals which penetrate the surface of the tooth’s enamel and combine with stain molecules breaking carbon double bonds; changing stain molecules from a darker coloured substance to a clear one allowing baking soda to help lighten and whiten teeth
