Guest guest Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 yes I remember you saying you used baking soda in the am and afternoon. I need to try this. Is baking soda a mild abrasive?

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 Yes, it is abrasive, but not overly so, IMO--my dentist couldn't believe how awesome my teeth looked (I hadn't been to the dentist in 3 years...) so I don't think it's damaging the enamel.

What I'm wondering is if the soap is doing it's job well but the enamel on our teeth might just be soft enough to cause stains. The mild abrasive just pulls off that. Anything else your doing to help them along like rinses? Thanks Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 No rinses at present, but saltwater with a drop of tea tree would be good. I do floss from time to time too.
