According to Valleant’s guide, there are two main types of tooth stains: extrinsic and intrinsic. Extrinsic stains are caused by colored foods and drinks or tobacco products, which contain substances that may adhere to the enamel and stain the surface of the tooth. On the other hand, intrinsic staining occurs within the tooth and may result from aging or exposure to certain minerals during tooth formation.

Because sodium bicarbonate, which is commonly known as baking soda, behaves as a bleaching agent and a mild abrasive, it is often recommended as a natural alternative to conventional teeth-whitening products. As Valleant’s guide explains, consumers can take advantage of its gritty texture to polish their teeth and remove extrinsic stains. Additionally, because baking soda is alkaline, it can neutralize acid caused by plaque, making it effective in preventing tooth decay.

However, baking soda can also erode the enamel if used excessively, and Valleant’s guide stresses the importance of proper preparation and gentle application. For the best results with the lowest risk of damage, readers are advised to mix it with other natural ingredients and use these home remedies no more than twice a week.

Valleant’s guide says that baking soda can be combined safely with hydrogen peroxide, another natural bleaching agent; two parts of baking soda and one part of hydrogen peroxide will form a paste that can be used sparingly to clean the teeth. For a gentler solution, readers can instead mix baking soda with coconut oil, which can reduce bacteria load in the mouth through “oil pulling.” Finally, baking soda can simply be mixed with water to create an effective tooth-whitening paste.

Despite the benefits of baking soda, Valleant advises readers not to substitute proper oral hygiene with home remedies. The aforementioned recipes are intended only to complement regular brushing, flossing, and routine checkups with the dentist.
