I can’t use baking soda either. I have veneers. I was told NOT to use baking soda or salt because it scratches them.

It makes sense that baking soda would scratch veneers. My mom has alzheimer’s and type 2 diabetes. It really motivates me to keep up with the research. Interestingly, she was diagnosed with both of these diseases at the same time.

Bull Pucky... It's softer than the material of the veneers! Don't use salt. What did they make their veneers out of? Plastic???

What if you just mixed them with water and used one of those irrigators at the gum line?

Imho, baking soda is very abrasive. I don’t have veneers, but I don’t use it. I prefer gel tooth”paste”.

Baking soda doesn’t scratch anything. Its even used to clean furniture that has natural lacquer finish.
