How is baking soda to brush your teeth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Abrasive: Using baking soda every day may prove to be too abrasive for your teeth, resulting in premature weakening of the enamel and yellowing as the enamel becomes thin. Limited use, together with brushing, flossing, using a fluoridated toothpaste, and regular dental cleanings will keep your teeth and gums healthy.

I dipped my wet toothbrush into a pile of dry baking soda and then brushed my teeth with it. I later learned how abrasive baking soda is. I did it once. Do I likely have permanent enamel damage from this? Anything I can do to reverse damage? Thankyou?
