Baking Soda Instead of Toothpaste and Peroxide as a Mouthwash [View all]

[violetpastille]

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.
