Today I explain which bicarbonate to use for teeth.
Because yes, baking soda is an effective natural product for taking care of teeth.
It whitens teeth, eliminates bad breath and fights cavities.
Did you know that you can even make toothpaste with baking soda?
You still have to know which one to choose so as not to damage your teeth.
Technical baking soda, food or officinal baking soda...
Which one to choose ? Here is the answer:
To start, let's quickly make a small point...
Do you know the difference between baking soda and technical baking soda?
From a chemical point of view, food or technical baking soda is exactly the same thing.
That is, it is the same molecule that makes up technical and food baking soda.
The only difference is that food-grade baking soda is purer .
The grains that compose it are also finer.
He underwent more testing and analysis. This ensures greater purity!
To put it simply, baking soda is better quality.
It can thus be ingested without danger to health.
As you can imagine...
For dental hygiene care, use baking soda.
Of course, you can also choose sodium bicarbonate which is even purer.
But its price is also higher...
Baking soda is a good compromise.
It is pure and of good quality. It can be used as a remedy and ingested without risk.
And it's really cheap!
Bicarbonate is thus an effective care, but respectful of tooth enamel.
It is not for nothing that it is found in toothpastes sold in shops.
It is its gentle abrasive action that whitens teeth.
How?
Thanks to the friction of the small grains that make up the bicarbonate carried out on the teeth.
Specifically, it eliminates stains on the surface of the enamel.
Tea, coffee, nicotine stains...
It unclogs dirt.
It's this gentle abrasive action that does most of the work.
Indeed, baking soda will also eliminate bacteria on the teeth and in the mouth.
And that means "bye bye" cavities and bad breath!
Rather good news, isn't it?
Since the grains of baking soda are finer, its action is less aggressive.
Do not worry ! Baking soda can't scratch your tooth enamel!
Why ? Because the hardness of bicarbonate is about 2.5.
To give you a more precise idea, it is of the same order as the hardness of the nails.
On the other hand, the enamel hardness is 5.
The same way you can't scratch your teeth with your fingernail...
You can't scratch your teeth with baking soda.
The easiest way is to sprinkle a little baking soda on your toothbrush.
Start by brushing your teeth normally. Then brush your teeth with baking soda.
And your white teeth naturally! Find out how to do it here.
But do not do this treatment more than once a week.
To enhance the effectiveness of baking soda, you can combine it with lemon or hydrogen peroxide.
Be careful not to confuse baking soda with another product.
- You should NEVER swallow caustic soda (sodium hydroxide with the formula NaOH).
It's very dangerous. This product is very corrosive and causes severe burns.
If you swallow caustic soda, call the emergency services and poison control center immediately.
- It also does not use soda crystals (sodium carbonate) or even percarbonate of soda.
- Always ask your doctor for advice before using baking soda dental remedies and treatments.
Misused, baking soda can have some dangers.
- To be sure to buy baking soda, go to the salt section of your supermarket.
