Baking soda for oral hygiene

Question

Asked for Male, 32 Years

I have recently started using baking soda-salt-water mix twice weekly on my teeth. Although I am yet to note any visible difference, I want to know if the same is safe for my almost 4 year old son. There is no requirement as such. Secondly, my husband has horrible smoke stains behind his teeth. Can baking soda help? He doesnt have time for dentist appointment.
