How often can baking soda be used on teeth?
Baking soda can help remove some surface discoloration, but it does not replace fluoride toothpaste as a routine substitute.
What does baking soda do to surface deposits?
Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate that can loosen some surface deposits. It does not rebuild enamel, treat cavities, remove tartar, or change dentine colour.
How should you brush safely with fluoride toothpaste?
Use a soft brush and fluoride toothpaste for regular brushing with gentle pressure. Ask how any baking-soda product fits your enamel, gums, and sensitivity.
When should tooth sensitivity or staining be assessed?
Seek advice for sensitivity, recession, bleeding, rough surfaces, persistent discoloration, or suspected decay.
Would fluoride, stain removal, or whitening help?
Ask whether fluoride toothpaste, stain removal, or whitening addresses the actual problem.
