I wanted to see if anybody knew if you really need baking soda in toothpaste?
Baking soda is very good. A lot of toothpaste brands use it. Baking soda is good if you want to whiten your teeth. Baking soda is an old traditional thing and works well. Baking soda is better than toothpaste. The fluoride in toothpaste is actually very harmful to your mouth. All in all, baking soda works better. (Scientifically proven)
Yes, if you make home-made toothpaste, you would add baking soda for sodium bicarbonate and tums for calcium carbonate.
baking soda you can also eat lemons .
All you have to do is brush your teeth really good with toothpaste and baking soda!
Toothpaste is a mild base, mostly because one of its "abrasives" is baking soda.
Using pure baking soda as a toothpaste alternative for brushing your teeth is not recommended by dentists. Baking soda can be abrasive and may damage tooth enamel if used too frequently. It is best to use toothpaste specifically designed for oral hygiene.
Arm and hammer baking soda+water.

All I know is that you can either use baking powder or baking soda it apparently whitens your teeth I just made a batch of homemade toothpaste myself and it works great I encourage everyone to try it!
Baking Soda and toothpaste are both alkali, meaning they have a pH of 8 or above. Other alkalis would be bleach, Caustic Soda, Ammonia and Calcium Carbonate (found in indigestion tablets)
Of course not. It may be helpful, but salt and baking soda was a standard 'toothpaste' for many, many years.
Sodium bicarbonate used in cooking, for cleaning, or in toothpaste.
