  • Congrats in advance, have you ever used baking soda and lemon juice paste? You can also use a mixture of strawberry, salt and baking soda.

    I imagine that would fizz up, similar to mixing bicarb with vinegar? Fine for cleaning the draining board or oven but not recommended for teeth!

    Exactly right. Abrasive and acid , ideal for destroying enamel, but will bring grouting up nicely. If your oven or draining board are stainless steel it may etch and damage that as well.

    Well done for posting to a very old thread to advertise something it is illegal for a non dentist to use in the UK and , coming from America , would not be purchased by a British dentist anyway.
    Spam reported.

    I used Enlighten through my dentist. It was OK but I was a little disappoint with the overall change.

    People have teeth whitening thinking they will go Simon Cowell white , when in reality every persons teeth have a maximum colour they will go and it's impossible to whiten above this.

    Everyone's teeth will lighten but it's difficult to predict by how much. For most people it's a subtle effect , people will look at you and notice somethings has changed but be hard put to say what it is.
