A member asked:
Is it healthy to brush your teeth with sodium bicarbonate?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Why?: It's not un-healthy... But why would you use it? There are many toothpastes out there with sodium bicarbonate - arm and hammer. Plus with a toothpaste you get the flouride. If you are brushing only with baking soda... Get the benefit of flouride and use a toothpaste with both.

Yes: Baking soda is antibacteria and a mild abrasive to polish your teeth.
