TipidTip # 32 - Remember that baking soda is not just for baking.
I know that toothpastes with baking soda are marketed for its whitening effect. So it should be pretty elementary that baking soda indeed has whitening properties. But since I have graduated eons ago from grade school, this bit of information was lost on me. :)
Having chanced upon a magazine article on teeth-whitening, I saw that baking soda is a TipidTip to make your teeth pearly white. A pack costs about P15 in major grocery stores. Sure beats the BriteSmile procedure I have been fantasizing about for quite some time now.
Here's how:
Clean your toothbrush with running water and tap dry. Put some baking soda in a small bowl or cup or the palm of your hand. Dip your toothbrush in it covering all the bristles. Brush your teeth in a circular motion. Be sure to scrub all sides, like what the father told the kid in the Colgate commercial, when they were painting the fence. (Pag may na-miss kang small spot..) Spit and gargle water to thoroughly wash off all remnants of baking soda. Brush your teeth again, this time using toothpaste. Do this every time you brush your teeth. Then smile. :)

someone also told me na pwede rin yung baking soda to whiten slippers.
but staple nga namin dati yung baking soda in our bathrooms, to supplement our toothbrush routines. i think i still have my box somewhere
doesn't the baking soda taste yucky? =\
lia, just don't swallow *_*
you can add a wee bit of peroxide pa nga to the baking soda if you really want to brighten your smile...
but nah, i tried that and it hurt my gums (konti lang, but it stung) so i'd rather stick to this method. :)

hey liee, thanks for that tip! :) if i'm feeling brave, i'll give it a go. hehe
