Yes, baking soda can help whiten teeth by gently removing surface stains due to its mild abrasive properties. However, because it lacks fluoride and can wear down your protective enamel if used too aggressively, it should not replace your daily toothpaste. For safe whitening, look for toothpastes containing fluoride to protect your teeth, alongside active whitening agents like hydrogen peroxide, carbamide peroxide, or silica to lift stains. Always choose products with a recognized dental association seal of approval, and consult your dentist for personalized, safe whitening options.
