The active ingredients in SHINE® whitening gels are baking soda along with salt. Which provides the healthiest and most natural whitening possible.
Baking soda is an alkaline powder and has many benefits, including cleaning and whitening teeth.
In addition to its many benefits, baking soda is a remedy with antibacterial, antifungal, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties and is considered a powerful natural medicine, fighting a wide range of medical conditions, colds, dental and skin problems. Baking soda has the ability to clean teeth and remove bacterial plaque. It gets rid of unsightly stains on your teeth, caused by coffee or tobacco, and helps eliminate bad breath.
Baking soda and salt for teeth whitening
The abrasive effect of salt will remove tartar deposits from your teeth and help in the whitening process.
Dentists admit that, indeed, baking soda cleans very well and lightens the tooth color to its natural color, but it is not advisable to use the powder directly on the tooth, but in certain combinations, such as SHINE® whitening gels.
