Do you do the baking soda daily? Also, do you floss before or after the baking soda? I’ve always liked baking soda as a toothpaste but my dentist discouraged it as it is a bit abrasive. Very interesting.
I can’t use baking soda either. I have veneers. I was told NOT to use baking soda or salt because it scratches them.
Interesting because I had been brushing with Baking S prior to my last dental visit and told my hygienist of that fact and she applauded me.......
Daily. Floss with the baking soda... work it down into the gums. And your dentist is an idiot. Pumice is far harder than the enamel of your teeth... while baking soda is only 90% as hard as enamel, so it can't scratch it. Pumice in toothpaste will erode your enamel, baking soda will not.
The dentist at my office started as an engineer in the space program... and works with dental materials science... and is a full professor at the University of Alabama Mobile, Department of Dental Materials. They made him one just so he could give two lectures a year there! He has more alphabet after his title of DDS than we have room for on his letterhead. He was the Keynote speaker at the Indian Society of Oral Implantology in Pune India, just outside of Mumbai, in January, where they made him a National Scholar (although he's not Indian), with a special funny hat and orange scarf and all that... sort of an Indian Nobel (without the money). Trust him.
