Can baking soda toothpaste ever be too abrasive and irritating to the gums/teeth? my gums have been feeling sore today and i'm wondering if it's because i used a baking soda formula instead of my usual toothpaste this morning.

Yes, it can: Brush gently with a soft bristle toothbrush. Gently remove the bacteria from your teeth, avoid hard strokes that can not only irritate your gingiva but also wear away your teeth.
