A member asked:
Can i use baking soda on braces?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Why would you want to? They will not clean your teeth any better than toothpaste. In addition most toothpastes have fluoride, which you should be using, to help strengthen your teeth.

Braces: Yes. Just remember that baking soda has an abrasive in it so use sparingly and probably not daily/.
