It's safe for you. You use it just like regular toothpaste, so don't swallow it or anything. If you don't like the taste of baking soda and salt together, you can always get toothpaste with baking soda in it at your local drug store.

Yes, I know, baking soda will whiten your teeth. But this is very unsafe, because is will strip the enamel off your teeth and make them extremely sensitive. However, there is a good medium -- you can buy toothpaste with baking soda in the ingredients and it cannot strip the enamel off your teeth at all, and yes, it will still whiten them.

baking soda will not whiten your teeth, but it's a great toothpaste. essentially, all toothpastes are some fancy incarnation of it.

I agree with blue_in_the_face, it is saffe, but if you want you can add a little lemon juice or something to the concoction,just to make it taste better.

Its safe. If you swallow some it wont make you like die or annything, maybe if you have a senstive stomach then it could give you a tummy ach. I do that, the only thing I hate is the taste.
