Advice
- It doesn't taste good. If you want, add some orange or mint extract.
- If you don't like the taste, don't use lemon to improve it. In practice, sodium bicarbonate is basic and lemon acid; if you mix them, bubbles will form.
- This method is used by many smokers and coffee consumers, so give it a try if you fall into one of these two categories.
Warnings
- If your gums are infected, sore or inflamed, have tooth decay, gingivitis, or other ailments, or have a small cut in your mouth, don't use it.
- Baking soda removes dirt on your teeth and enamel, exposing them to various bacteria.
- Overdoing the use of this product can be harmful to the enamel; talk to your dentist first.
