baking soda is abrasive to the enamel and I have seen many sites indicate its probably best avoided for children. many sites indicate children can brush with plain water. they need to avoid sugars (candy, soda, etc.).

I too have used straight baking soda for many years. My dentist is always

amazed at how good my teeth look at my semi-annual cleanings.
