Brushing teeth with bicarb

[Paintingrainbowskies]

I read somewhere that brushing your teeth with bicarb of soda helps get rid of stains.

So I just tried it and I honestly think my teeth look a but whiter already and certainly feel very clean.

I wondered if anyone dies thus regularly? How often can you do it or can it damage the enamel?

Thanks

I do it but only once a week as the bicarb is very abrasive and can damage tooth enamel. I top up the effects with a whitening toothpaste (just a bog standard one like mcleans or something) if you are concerned about very stubborn stains or yellowing teeth, I would encourage you to see a dentist and get a proper scale and polish rather than risk damaging your teeth with overly abrasive home treatments

yes i use it once or twice a week

two or three times a week

You want to try activated charcoal its amazing.

where do you get it from, Sonly?

You can buy it in capsules from health food shops my mum uses it for trapped wind. I usually pinch a few and you just break them open.

oh yeh! i used to use it for trapped wind and it made it worse!

what do you do with it (and how often) sonlypuppyfat?

I use it perhaps once a month I just push my toothbrush in the powder and brush.
