#1 Home Remedy to Remove Dental Plaque & Tarter to Prevent Cavities | Dr. Mandell

Brushing with baking soda can safely and effectively remove plaque. While still abrasive, baking soda toothpaste is not as hard as the enamel that makes up teeth and can remove plaque without damaging the enamel.
A 2017 review suggests that toothpaste that contains baking soda may be more effective at reducing the amount of plaque in the mouth than traditional toothpaste.

I've been using baking soda on my teeth since the 1960's. My mother would give us baking soda for brushing about once a week . I often received compliments for my nice teeth. I still use it about once a week even now at 70 years of age and I still receive compliments for my teeth.

[@denigrif3]

Did you think you had less cavities or loss of teeth?

[@huios974]

What is the ratio of soda to water?

[@leighburville2717]

I'm 82 years old. I grew up brushing daily with baking soda and regular dental visits. I had 5 silver fillings done in my teen-age years. I never had a cavity since. And the truth is I went through the past 40 years of depresson and serious personal issues and I literally gave up dentists and daily brushing. Well, on my 81st birthday, one of my 68 year old silver fillings fell out! I went to a dentist and he said other than the old silver fillings, I had perfect healthy gums and teeth. Go figure! I think following common dental proceedures makes your teeth rot. Eating CRISP, RAW fruit and vegetables, broccoli, celery, cauliflour, cucumber, apples, carrots, and drinking herbal teas every day is far healthier and more sanitizing ... much better than brushing.

[@leahgolden7242]

I think it’s partly genetics but I did try the baking soda on my teeth tonight and was amazed! I can totally see how this. Plus be used as toothpaste back in the day. It was so salty but got the coffee stains off my tongue in a way easier way! I also used it when I needed to get self tanner off or yellowing on my fingers from smoking.

[@leighburville2717]

@Leah Golden Interesting about brown stain on tongue and fingers. Thanks for posting. As for me it wasn't actually genetic since my parents, grandparents, uncles and aunts had very bad teeth or no teeth.

I've been brushing my teeth with baking soda for many years! When I became homeless and utterly broke, I received food stamps and I couldn't buy toothpaste, but I COULD buy baking soda so that's what I've used. My teeth have suffered a good bit of damage from the loss of fillings, but my gums don't bleed and I don't have bad breath at all. Baking soda has been a life saver.

[@CallieCatCuddles]

@smokindivine59 What an intrusive question, but in case it was asked innocently, my husband abandoned me when I was terribly ill and disabled. That was decades ago, and it took those decades to get to a point where I could own my own home again. So you see, it was not "fast."

Use a soft or very soft toothbrush. Hard brushing can damage your gums and lead to much worse issues. I was at the dentist and they were explaining to a surgeon why his gums were so bad and close to a transplant. They told him use a super soft brush and don’t brush hard, which is a habit I had to break myself of as well.

I've been using baking soda in the past several years, and it really helped, much more than the toothing paste did.

[@TheVirtualNanny]

@@farhanfadlirahman9533 Actually, I have switched almost completely in the last 4 months from using the toothpaste to using the baking soda-coconut oil mix. Previously, I used to once in two weeks. Also, for teeth whitening, it is highly recommended the carbon powder( please search for extra info). As a disclaimer, I have adopted these remedies especially because I wasn't having any notable results with the toothpaste, so lately I've been trying to repare it with the b. soda, considering it eliminates the bacteria in the mouth and the bad breath due to it. But that’s my personal choice, if you want some expert advice, that will be at the dental clinic 🙂

Dr. Mandel you are awesome! I have been watching you now for a few years, oh what a blessing I have so many ailments I have had back surgery twice, left hip replacement, left knee replacement, and so many things that you talked about today I might not would have had to have surgery if I had been noticing you at that time. You have helped me so much with my neck and my upper back, I have a pinched nerve. My doctor won't to surgery again. I don't want that, I am 78 will be 79 in a few months if the Lord blessed!, I want to. live my life out being able to walk around a little and to just enjoy the rest of my life that I have left, and thank the Lord for you' you have told me so many ways that exercise to do different things stretches. Even some vitamins that I did take and one is Alpha Lapolic Acid" it works great, I woke up one morning about two-and-a-half years ago. I was having something like neuropathy in my feet, I could not hardly walk when I would go to the clinics or anywhere else my feet would hurt so bad I would have to walk on the outside of my feet, I would be so ashamed because people would be looking at you when you coming towards them, it would make me so embarrassed I will try to walk down flat on my feet I would be in so much pain. I didn't know what was wrong with my feet. I' awake early one morning I left the TV on. And there was this lady talking about her feet hurting I turned over and began to watch her and listen she was on a program telling about this vitamin that she had been taken, she was talking about how good it made her feel and stopped her feet from hurting, but she said now you can't stop using it cuz you feel better. But you know what I called a friend of ours and ask her if she would please go by the store and pick me up a bottle and bring it to me that day, I also still had sciatica nerve pain real bad in my left hip go all the way down your leg pain, but you know what after about a month or two the pain ceased up a little bit from the sciatica nerve pain my feet got 90% better oh, so I just thought I'd give you my testimony because I listen at you today you are talking about Arm & Hammer baking soda for your teeth. My granny had us using that when I was a little girl coming up now remember how old I am smile. that let you know how long I've been using it it is good, have a blessed day and God continue to bless you.❤❤

As a licensed dental hygienist, I recommend pouring maybe 1/4 cup of baking soda into a separate container and dipping your wet brush into it. I think reintroducing your wet brush into a big box contaminants the box. By the time you use up that big box, it will have quite a bit of bacteria in it. No need to make a slurry out of it, use it right out of the box.

Isn't corrosive in a large period of time? I'd like to know the cons about it.

Thank you doc for all the advice you render us. Really you have improved our lives .

Thank you for the vid! 🙂 I've used baking soda since childhood for my teeth, my grandmother's idea. Decades later, and I have white teeth and no fillings whatsoever! I highly recommend it - great for gum health too.

How many times a week?

[@wownewstome6123]

How often do you brush with baking soda? Is it mixed with anything? Does it scratch the enamel or wear it thin? Thanks in advance.

[@lilyrose4191]

Greetings! I didn't get a notification for these replies 😲 anyhow ... I use baking soda 2 or 3 times a week. If your tooth enamel is thin, I'd be wary of over-using it ... having said that it is used in some commercial products and people aren't aware of it! I sometimes use it plain, but i keep it in a separate jar from the rest of the product in the box. A jar to use as teeth-cleaner only! I also like to use olive oil as cleaner, with the brush and also as a mouth swish. Sometimes I combine it with baking soda. Both are very good for my gum health. If you want to make a natural toothpaste, try this easy recipe: 1/2 a cup of coconut oil with 4 or 5 tablespoons of baking soda and mix together into a paste. Store it in an airtight container/jar. If you want to make a smaller quantity more often try: 4 tablespoons of coconut oil with 2 tbsp of baking soda and add 1 tbsp of hydrogen peroxide and as many drops of cinnamon or clove oil or peppermint oil as you prefer. You can play with the ingredients to make a lesser amount or a bigger amount that suits your needs! The homemade toothpaste is terrific and you know exactly which ingredients are in it! This makes a good product and I like it! Cheers friends 🙂 Btw, I worked as a dental assistant in the past. Dentists truly do get a lot of commercial products pushed at them to promote to their patients/clients. The ingredients of some of those products leave a lot to be desired!

Dr. Mandell its funny because we grew up using baking soda to brush our teeth when we ran out of or couldn't afford toothpaste and I remember having one cavity growing up in high school. Thank you 🙏🏾

[@sheilag.834]

Thanks for this! I'm 60 and remember when I was a little girl being told it's good to brush teeth with baking soda, but then I started hearing that it's bad for tooth enamel. So I believe it was just the toothpaste or dental companies trying to promote their products since baking soda is so inexpensive.

[@iznasen]

Thanks for the good vibe Dr. Mandell.

[@fabianbyer6146]

Great stuff Dr. Mandell. As a practicing dentist I applaud you for such accurate information.👍👍 Also remember that healthy gums do not bleed when you brush and floss.

[@nanapoku5259]

Since you are a practising dentist, whats your take on suggestions that baking soda is acidic and may mess up ones teeth?

[@fabianbyer6146]

@@nanapoku5259 actually it's alkaline and not acidic.

​@fabianbyer6146 can you brush with baking soda daily?

The only way to improve on this would be to use Bob's Red Mill baking soda, which doesn't contain aluminum. Thanks for the advice, Dr. Mandell.

THANK YOU SO MUCH DOCTOR MANDELL ❤️

[@suzziqw8049]

Thank you Dr. Mandell for all that you do for the good for everyone, you’re the best! I’ve been using baking soda for years and it’s great but as just a word of caution….Arm & Ham mer does have aluminum in it but there’s plenty of small businesses on the popular shopping website that everyone uses and they do not have aluminum and truly are 100% pure and very reasonably priced plus it’s helping out our small businesses…. I in no way have your expertise Doctor but I found this out doing my research, I’ve gone to small businesses for everything that I use and feel better knowing that I’m not adding to the aluminum that these large companies like to use… Thank you again Dr. Mandell and God Bless you and your family!🙏😇

That's how our family brushes our teeth everyday and night..fresh breath all day..especially the tongue..I love it..I have minimal to no tarter when I go for my cleanings.
