Baking soda for oral hygiene

2017-11-13 09:44:48
I have recently started using baking soda-salt-water mix twice weekly on my teeth. Although I am yet to note any visible difference, I want to know if the same is safe for my almost 4 year old son. There is no requirement as such. Secondly, my husband has horrible smoke stains behind his teeth. Can baking soda help? He doesnt have time for dentist appointment.

Baking soda damage your enamel causing  increase  sensitivity. It dont have fluoride  which is essential for teeth. It is not a approved material from AMERICAN  DENTAL ASSOCIATION.
Next Steps
Plz dont use such thing, not even for kids their teeth are more sensitive & your husband has to visit dentist  for cleaning. No other approved  home remedy can treat it properly.
