2. Freshens Breath and Whitens Teeth

Baking soda is a powerful ally for oral care. Studies show toothpaste with baking soda removes plaque and whitens better than formulas without it. You do not need a special paste to get the benefits. Dip your brush in a water and baking soda mix before brushing. It also makes an effective mouthwash thanks to antibacterial and antimicrobial action. Use half a glass of water with a teaspoon of baking soda, swish, and spit like regular mouthwash. This helps clean hard-to-reach spots brushing alone can miss.
