Clean Your Teeth With Baking Soda

RE: Clean Your Teeth With Baking Soda Post By John (Guest Post) (06/17/2008) Baking soda is NOT abrasive, especially if you wait a minute before actually brushing. Sodium bicarbonate is an ionic compound that fully breaks down to individual carbonate molecules and sodium atoms in sufficient water. There may be some osmotic drying of surface tissue, but this will be insignificant with adequate rinsing.

Put a few tea bags in a pot and let it soak for like 20 minutes as opposed to one minute if you going to drink it . Then mix it which a bit of baking soda and something else maybe. Sorry, I've never actually done it, I just read it in a book about green tea. One idea, i don't know truly how effective it is but if you make some super concentrated green tea and just rinse your mouth with it, that could be quite good for you teeth.

BRANDON Editor's Note: It sounds like you are brushing too hard. Also bleeding gums can be a sign of gum disease.

I have been using it now for about a month and my teeth are whiter cleaner and feel cleaner too. I use to have tarter build up on my bottom front tooth caused by a bad tooth and this was there nearly everyday. Now it has now gone. My only concern is by doing this everyday is there a danger to the teeth?

This particular population has very good gingival health, ~<2mm probing depth, very few carious teeth, etc. Could be genetic, habit, diet, sleep, exercise... Prolly a combination of many factors." FWIW Baking soda is not as abrasive as many standard toothpastes, and most whitening. toothpastes. There are new products containing Novamin ithat may be helpful for awhiter smile which may also make teeth stronger instead of weaker with thinner enamel. Oravive toothpaste uses Novamin, instead of flouride for tooth remineralization. (Novamin is a proprietary ingredient made of very tiny silica particles imbedded with calcium and phosphorous that stick to teeth and release the minerals in ion form.) There is also a home-whitening kit containing Novamin.

Report Spam or Abuse RE: Clean Your Teeth With Baking Soda Post By karen (Guest Post) (12/26/2005) You will damage your teeth if you do this too often!!! It leaves little scratches that allow bacteria to get a foothold = Cavities. It is also very drying to the thin tissue that lines your mouth and lips etc. The same is true of hydrogen peroxide.!! Use it as a special cleaning tool every 6 weeks or so. LPN here.

I worked for dentist then periodontist (gum specialist) and trust me a professional teeth cleaning is needed ONCE a year and sometimes twice a year or every 3 months as suggested by your Dentist. Do not scrimp on this as you want to grow old with nice white teeth and have nice gums that will hold them in. A dental cleaning consists of cleaning under gums and only by a LICENSED professional. I used to tell my patients think of cleanings as maintenance..and do brush and FLOSS daily...ok I will stop before I get on my Flossing hi-horse... :) ps there is a reason every dentist says "JUST BRUSH THE ONES YOU WANNA KEEP" Report Spam or Abuse
