A little tidbit about dental whitening. Carbamide peroxide breaks down into hydrogen peroxide over time. The reason some people experience tooth sensitivity to different whitening products (white strips, dental office whitening products) is because they temporarily dehydrate the teeth during the process. Once the process is complete, the teeth rehydrate over a couple of days and the sensitivity subsides. The paste mixture listed above may help with surface stains/discolorations, but is not effective on internal stains/discolorations.

Have been brushing with this from time to time for many years, minus the flavoring. It does work very well, as does plain baking soda mixed with a drop of water. It makes your teeth and mouth feel so squeaky clean! However, a small caution - my dentist recommended I not over use it; the abrasive action of the soda can eventually damage the enamel on your teeth, creating a much worse problem than discolored teeth.

I wanted to re-review this to say that I worked in a dental office and this is a very good method of cleaning. I would only be careful not to do it too often as Baking Soda can be very abrasive and may damage the tooth enamel over a long period of time. Certainly better and cheaper then the commercial whitening products though! Thanks for sharing!

I work in a dentist office, and I have been doing this for years. It works great! I don't do it every day, but 1-2 times a week. Scrub, but just don't scrub so hard and use so often that you damage the enamel on your teeth over time.

You are right! It tastes like crap, but the first time I saw immediate results! Will be sharing this little health tip with a few folks!

I don't like to give bad reviews, so I will post a warning only because it happened to me. If you have sensitive gums be CAREFUL!! I used this and it burned my bottom gums so bad that I had to use a prescribed mouth rinse. It also left a mark on a small spot on my upper gums!! I did not realize my gums were so sensitive until I used this. The plus to it though..I think it really was working, but I won't be using it anymore do to the pain that it caused

Many years ago while wearings braces I started having trouble with my gums. I was not the best patient. Have you tried flossing with those dang things on your teeth?!? My orthodontist told me to brush with this exact same thing to get rid of the bacteria in my gums. Not only did it fix that, my teeth were the whitest they had ever been and I was a smoker and coffee drinker. Don't waste your $$$ on whitening strips this is the best!!

In regards to other reviewers' comments regarding oral cancer. Most people don't realize that mouth washes have been linked to oral cancer (Listerine especially, due to alcohol content) and these mouth washes are used several times a day by some individuals,- not like once a day, for a couple of days tooth whitener.

I'm not sure how long you are supposed to brush with this but my teeth are a bit whiter. My mouth is very clean feeling and as for the taste, I put a little of my toothpaste in the mixture. That helped. The taste wasn't as bad as I expected. Here is another tip, put a little dab of toothpaste on the BACK of your tongue when you are done. That helped a lot.

As everyone has said, it tastes pretty horrible, but it works great. I use it about once a week or so. I brush my teeth with it, and let it sit for a few minutes while i take a shower, then rinse and brush my teeth with normal toothpaste to get rid of the yucky taste.
