Not a good option: We have seen a great number of patients with soft tissue irritation from these types of products the philosophy of using baking soda and glycerin is not a good option.

Not a problem: Glycerine will tend to coat the teeth briefly but it won't cause damage. You should brush with a Fluoride containing toothpaste at least once a day to help prevent tooth decay.
