Brushing your teeth using baking soda

[MinuteMaid5]

Does anyone do this here? Does it make your teeth whiter

I've heard about it but never tried it. Isn't baking soda used to stop a grease fire in the kitchen as well? Wouldn't wanna try something that strong in my mouth

I do it from time to time but with Binet too

it foams up fast

I do it now and then. I don't know if it makes your teeth whiter but it helps bust up plaque.

Toothpaste often includes baking soda in its' ingredients. Baking soda is a good product to brush your teeth with and i have used it on occasion.

I have seen multiple articles that say this is better than using toothpaste but I haven’t tried it.

add peroxide and make a paste. I think the peroxide provides the whitening.

I knew an elderly man who used baking soda to brush his teeth. Well into his 80s he still has most of his original teeth. I had a dental hygienist tell me that toothpaste is a waste of money and those harsh mouthwashes are actually harmful. She said flossing is the best thing you can do to clean and preserve your teeth.

not directly but i use arm and hammer toothpaste which has baking soda and charcoal in it and thats the only toothpaste ive used that actually whitens

I don't use baking soda, but I started having sensitivity in a tooth and have an appointment with the dentist in 45 minutes. Last week after I made the appointment, I bought a tube of Sensodyne toothpaste, and now all the pain is gone. Hopefully the dentist will tell me everything is fine, but last week I thought I'd need a root canal. I always thought that Sensodyne was BS, but it really works.
