Yeah your mom is right about how baking soda is salt. The reason they said baking soda would whiten your teeth is because, its an ingredient in tooth paste. No. It wont make you sick. If your still wondering how to whiten your teeth, just use a better brand of tooth paste and make sure you floss and use mouthwash.

Someone probably recommended salt because it is abrasive and would scrub stains off of your teeth. Yes, you can taste and swallow baking soda. It is actually a food ingredient, after all. If you drink peroxide, you will likely vomit. It is used to induce vomiting sometimes. Good luck.

I don't know why the salt either, other than I know that salt in warm water used as a mouth rinse helps aid healing in your mouth. I have always heard baking soda and peroxide.
Peroxide probably wouldn't be very good to swallow, but baking soda won't hurt you.
