A member asked:
Is it okay if we brush our teeth with baking soda and toothpaste daily?

No: Baking soda is an abrasive and can cause damage to the enamel of the teeth. It is ok to use it in moderation but you should not use it every day.

Yes: Using both is a bit excessive but can't really hurt.

Moderation : I am a fan of doing things in moderation. I think switching between toothpastes or mouthwash are great but don't over do it. Brush and fluss properly, that is the most important thing to remember.
