  • Question
    If I were to use lemon juice and baking soda together to make a jar for my teeth, how long will it store in the fridge? Will the activation expire?
    Community Answer
    Dentists do not advise using lemon juice directly on your teeth. Mix baking soda with coconut oil and a drop of peppermint oil instead. Or, combine it with activated charcoal and rub on.
