Dental and Oral Hygiene with Baking Soda

If you want healthy teeth, the foundation is a mineral-rich diet with reduced sugar intake, combined with regular oral care.

For natural dental care, it is best to use toothpaste that is not only free from surfactants but also fluoride-free. Nowadays, there are several fluoride-free dental care products available, some of which already contain baking soda.

If your toothpaste does not, you can simply sprinkle a pinch onto your moistened toothbrush. Thanks to its alkalinity, baking soda neutralizes cavity-causing acids, enhances cleaning power, and gently removes yellowish stains caused by coffee, tea, or smoking.

It is important to note that baking soda is not a bleaching agent for teeth, as often assumed – instead, it prevents new stains from forming daily.

Even dentures can be placed overnight in a baking soda solution for thorough cleaning and freshness.
