A shocking “natural teeth whitening” hack is spreading online—rubbing garlic and baking soda on your teeth for instant whitening. But does it work? Or is it dangerous? Let’s uncover the truth with dental experts.

What’s the Claim?

The viral TikTok/YouTube trend suggests:

  1. Crush raw garlic + baking soda into a paste

What Dentists Say 🦷❌

🚫 3 Reasons This Hack is Dangerous

  1. Garlic is ACIDIC – Erodes enamel, causing permanent damage
  2. Baking soda is ABRASIVE – Scrubs away protective tooth layers
  3. No real whitening effect – Just removes surface debris temporarily

“This ‘hack’ is one of the worst things you can do to your teeth.”
