Dentist explained why whitening teeth with baking soda is dangerous 05:00

Soda is a corrosive substance that, when used frequently, irritates the oral mucosa, thins tooth enamel and negatively affects the gums. Lyudmila Shemyakina, pediatric dentist at SM-Dentistry, told socialbites.ca.

According to him, if a person uses baking soda to whiten his teeth, the result of such a procedure will not only be short-lived, but may also have the opposite effect.

“If you frequently brush your teeth with baking soda, after a while the enamel becomes rough and porous, causing plaque to become microcracks and clog the pores. As a result, they can become darker rather than lighter over time,” said Shemyakina.

In addition, regular brushing of teeth with soda causes wear of the enamel, which makes them susceptible to temperature effects, as well as the presence of acid and sugar in food. This may cause increased sensitivity.

The dentist also warned that soda can change the pH (acidity) in the oral cavity, making it more alkaline, ultimately leading to oral dysbiosis.

“Instead of brushing or using baking soda to whiten your teeth, I recommend seeing your dentist. Your doctor will help you choose safe and effective methods. In addition, professional whitening methods can provide a longer-lasting and more noticeable effect,” concluded Shemyakina.
