The Life And Controversies Of Dr. Oz

Dr. Oz, The Dentist

Yet another false claim that Dr. Oz made was for a do-it-yourself method for whitening your teeth at home. On his show, he said that all you needed was to brush with a mixture of strawberries and baking soda. However, according to The Journal of Operative Dentistry, this does not whiten but may actually weaken the user’s teeth. After running their own test, they proved that the mixture had no whitening effects since it lacks all of the necessary ingredients in teeth-whitening products. Also, they noted that the malic acid in strawberries can degrade your teeth over time so brushing with them isn’t a good idea.
