I used baking soda for about a year and had to stop, my teeth got TOO SENSITIVE. I already had dents in the enamel before I began so your mileage may vary. My teeth are back to normal now.

dont forget, this homemade toothpaste is sodium fluoride free unlike 98% of all commercial toothpastes. and sodium fluoride is wide range posion which go directly into blood through mouth mucosa and accumulates in bones and in pineal gland in brain and calcifies it.
i dont know if you are fammiliar with water fluoridation but google it. i live in poor country so water is not fluoridated here so check if water is fluoridated where you live.
im gonna make my own toothpaste thank you for recipe.
and dont be afraid, sodium bicarbonate isnt acid, its alcali and it doesn’t damage teeth.
people are using it for decades.
you can also make your own soap, shampoo…and such things using sodium bicarbonate as base.

Idk what toothpaste you normally buy but I spend way more than $10 a year….anyway using something natural & chemical free that still does the job is priceless…

There are some really good tips here. I always wanted to find out the better way to brush my teeth without having to put all these chemicals like fluoride in my mouth.

I have been using bakin soda and clay for one year and a half now, I find regular toothpaste disgusting now, the flavors, sweeteners…they’re horrible.
Moreover you should look to the ingredients, which is something nobody ever does. One of the first ingredients of regula toothpaste is ‘sorbytol’, it’s a sugar, it’s not so different from glucose. What’s the point of washing your teeth with sugar??
So yes you’re going to save $10 a year but wash your teeth with something that isn’t disgusting and isn’t going to damage your teeth, because I’d love to challenge any dentist, to tell me that sorbytol (sugar) is better on the teeth than baking soda.
Other than that, $10 make 20 pounds of chard at my place, which will keep me ful for a while, so they’re not to waste wither.

I’ve seen several dentists weigh in on both sides of the “too abrasive” argument. Here’s the problem – I haven’t been able to find any actual study that says one way or the other.

However, in my experience, I have suffered no enamel loss as I have used baking soda. I have read many stories from people who swear by baking soda, however I have never seen a case study that claimed baking soda ruined their teeth. So it’s not like you’re going to use one batch and suddenly have nubs for teeth.

In reality, though, this is more of a fun experiment than anything else. Toothpaste is dirt cheap, so if you’re making your own to save money, you’re only going to save, what, $10 a year?

Thanks for stopping by.

I spoke to a friend who is a dental hygienist. She had a concern about the baking soda being to abrasive and damaging tooth enamel. I need further safety validation.
