Baking Soda Instead of Toothpaste and Peroxide as a Mouthwash
Do you do this?
I have done so for about 10 years. When I go to a dentist I don't have cavities and they tell me my teeth are very white and ask me if I bleach them. I say no. Then I ask if my enamel looks okay and they say yes. So. I'm going to keep on keeping on with it. The downside is that my breath is not minty. The upside is that my mouth is very clean. Once I started doing it I was not able to go back to the feeling of toothpaste which is minty - but it feels kinda soapy and not as though it balanced the oral ph or killed bacteria. I do floss with actual dental floss though.

If I'm caught without it I usually have coconut oil which I use for everything - and I will brush with that and oil pull.
 but i've only had to do that a couple of times.
If I didn't have that I would use a little drop of Dr. Bronners.
I don't like minty, and a lot of the widely available toothpastes have SLS and aluminum oxide and they're expensive so..yeah I avoid toothpaste faithfully. Oh and I have tried an Indian neem tooth powder. I liked the taste- like star anise. |
