What happens when someone brushes their teeth gently with baking soda after ever non-acidic meal?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Brushing the teeth gently with baking soda allows the slightly abrasive powder to remove tartar build-up while providing a change in PH that typically kills off cavity causing bacteria. It is safe to use regularly, and several commercial toothpastes contain baking soda as an ingredient.
