Does baking soda whiten the inside of your teeth?
Baking soda can remove some surface stains through mild abrasion, but it does not bleach the internal color of a tooth.
What determines whether a tooth colour change can improve?
The clinical answer depends on the anatomy involved, the cause, and findings from an examination. A dentist may inspect the tissues, test teeth, and use imaging when needed.
What can you do safely when trying to improve tooth colour?
Use gentle oral hygiene, avoid irritating the area, and record changes in pain, swelling, color, or function.
When should unexplained tooth colour changes be examined?
Arrange an examination for persistent, worsening, recurrent, or unexplained symptoms. Spreading swelling, fever, or difficulty swallowing or breathing is urgent.
What should your dentist assess before recommending whitening?
Ask what structure is affected, what caused the finding, which examination is needed, and what treatment or monitoring plan fits the diagnosis.
