Questions about using baking soda & peroxide to whiten teeth...?
I am an ex-smoker and a lover of dark sodas (I have a Dr. Pepper addiction) and have recently realized the damage this has done to the color of my teeth. I cannot afford to have them whitened professionally so I started doing some research into at home methods. It seems that a very easy & inexpensive way is to make a paste using baking soda & peroxide. I've read many articles and questions about this but still have unanswered questions.
How often & how long do you do this? I see some places say it is harmful to your enamel to use too often while others basically say it replaces typical brushing with toothpaste twice daily.
Also, if you have any experience with this technique, how soon did you begin to see results?

Years ago (when I was a smoker) I went into my dentist for my 6mo checkup and my dental hygienist asked me if I had quit smoking, I told her no and asked why and she told me that all my stains were gone. Guess what? All I was brushing with was water and baking soda! So I know for a fact it works prosauce. As far as how soon results...sheesh, I don't remember it was so long ago, but within six months at least (sooner than that since my stains were GONE by six months).
