Baking Soda

Hello Everyone! I absolutely love Earth Clinic and have successfully used the remedies here for over 15 years now while avoiding painful procedures and countless doctor's visits - go ACV!! LOL. I have never posted, but feel I owe it to you guys to let you learn from my big mistake. I am a huge fan of baking soda and its many natural uses. I decided I was going to use baking soda to whiten my teeth naturally one day and I want to bring something to your attention about it. I started brushing with pure baking soda twice a day every day for a couple of weeks until one day, I noticed my teeth were inflamed and very sore. It struck me as odd, and as I pondered what the problem might be, immediately I knew! It's the baking soda!!!! But how? It is so good and alkalizing for our whole body and even our teeth..???? Then, my husband, who is a really smart guy, said to me, ohhh!! Baking soda is a *BASE*. You wouldn't brush your teeth with straight ACV (an ACID) would you? Then you also wouldn't brush your teeth with straight baking soda!!!! He said you know those magic erasers that you use to clean your walls and tubs with, and they work so well? It's because those are a *BASE* and that is just as strong as an *ACID*. Remember science class? Any way, I had to learn the hard way, and it is true, your enamel does not come back on its own without MUCH effort. Ask me how I know. It's been years now. I will say BS is probably just fine to use it like a mouthwash, though. If you do happen to ruin your own enamel this way, like I did, it's the only time I recommend going to the dentist for fluoride unless you can get in to a natural dentist for nanohydroxyapatite treatments and until you can remedy this problem naturally. So far the very best thing that works for my sensitive teeth is a very expensive brand of toothpaste called "NOBS". Earth clinic, please feel free to not post the name here. I am only posting it because it is the only brand that I have found that works the best for *me*, even though I am certain there are others out there. I am just tired of spending money to keep trying to find them so I stick with this one. I did also use Apagard, as suggested here on this site, with some good success, I know it's cheaper. The main thing you need on your teeth is the "Nanohydroxyapatite." I have also heard, and am looking into now taking Coral Calcium, D3/K2, & homeopathy. It is the "Calc Flour" they say you want. I am going to try taking that for a few months and see if it helps. There is a wonderful website that explains why Coral Calcium is important for your teeth if you'd like more info on it called lifesaving health.org
All the best. God bless you, Earth Clinic, the founder, all the faithful people here, shout out to "Mile High Tennessee" - a hoot!, the precious "Mama to many", and how I miss hearing from our dear friend, "Ted from Bangkok"! I always try to remember to come back here to make any Amazon purchases because it is so important to humanity to support this site. If you've been helped by this site, please return the favor and be a blessing back to them so they will continue to be a strong advocate for us!
Love you all!

I bought some "dequaspray" for sore throat and found I couldn't use it. not saying it wouldn't work but the sensation was too weird for me. However I have painted it onto aching teeth and sore gums within the family a few times and it has brought immediate and great relief. I think it contains lignocaine and that's what does it. Good for tooth emergencies.

Thank you, Bev!
Ted used to mention ACV/Baking Soda mixture. That would neutralize the acid defore drinking and make the taste slightly more palatable while conserving the bodies natural bicarbonate stores. All good things imo.

Very good information, Art. Thanx. Did not know that. The Apple cider vinegar that's always being suggested is probably not a good idea neither and will probably burn as bad.

One of the downsides to hydrogen peroxide is that it has a pH of 3.5, which is fairly acidic. The saliva that normally bathes the teeth is in a range of 6.2 to 7.6 or a fairly neutral range. Rinsing the mouth with baking soda water once the hydrogen peroxide treatment is done may offer some help. Baking soda has a pH of of approximately 8.3 which has the potential to rapidly neutralize the remaining HP on the teeth after the HP treatment.
This is why I suggest rinsing your mouth with baking soda water after drinking Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) because it also has a low pH of 2 - 3.
To give a little more perspective, the human stomach has a pH range of 1.5 to 3.5 and is quite useful for breaking down the food we eat.

I second that. I did it, and I have never in my life felt such excruciating pain. I thought I was going to throw up from the agony. The Motrin is not kicking in fast enough at this moment.

I was watching an infomercial the other day on teeth. It was long and not for the faint of heart but I am down to faith as my cure, so short of an act of God, I have tried everything I could figure out. This guy was interesting to me and when he said your body is willing to sacrifice your teeth to save you, he had me there. I have done so much trying to fix myself and my body has been sabotaging me at various stages. Raised in trauma, I had to produce cortisol because of my subconscious programs and that put a huge wrench in digestion and that affected the rest of my body.
This guy had bad breath and he went to find his solutions . His name is Mark Hall and I have not bought his product but he explains what is in it and why. I know Ted likes L-threonine for enamel on teeth. Ted said use soy lecithin granules in place of oil pulling since it emulsifies bad fats out of your organs. I know a lot of stuff about calcium absorption and minerals . Mark Hall didn't know all that stuff . He did have some interesting keys though. Your body sends an army to attack toxins and that army is corroding gums and teeth> key number one . He adds herbs for saliva health . Potassium for bleeding gums and demineralization problem. Collagen heals gums. Vitamin A stimulates saliva. vitamin C for soft tissue and neem extract and a specific type of sage( sp? sambooka nigras). Licorice and elderberry and calcium phosphorus and D- and K-2 . he forgot to mention borax or silica. His drops are spendy but claim to also help brain abscess get rescued from problem attacking teeth . His cure is for a smaller problem than the one I am up against, but with God all things are possible and I have faith. Blessings to you and your teeth, the truth that we know can set us free, Charity

I use Spy mints Xylitol to kill streptococcus mutans. I dissolve a few tablets in mouth and let them feed on it.

I have used both the toothpaste and mipaste. Both excellent!
My dentist commented on how smooth my teeth were and that was from mipaste! Warning: contains dairy if you are sensitive.
Amazon has very good xylitol toothpastes without any extra flavors that are good for sensitive teeth.

If your teeth are sensitive, it means they need remineralizing.
mi paste remineralizes your teeth. if your teeth are sensitive, your teeth need to be remineralized. you can buy it from place in canada ...www.mountainside-medical.com
Apaguard is best tooth paste I have come across. It is made in Japan and remineralizes. It took 2 weeks to arrive in US.
It takes 3-4 weeks to remineralize initialliy with MI Paste so get two of them. I put on 2 or 3 times a day but better is to let some stay on while you sleep. The saliva activates it.
Vitamin K2 Mk7 or MK4 will help with remineralizing too. Add some vitamin D and A just to be sure. MK7 research indicates it should work. MK4 was wesson prices X factor. MK7 wasn't around back then. I believe it opens up the microtubules of circulation in teeth for K2 nutrient nourishment.
Best things is to heal one's teeth with things like mi paste to seal teeth.
spray xylitol mints to kill the strep mutans, don't eat it like candy or you may have gastrointestinal stress. a tiny bit is ok since the body actually produces a tiny amount itself...
hyaluronic acid with water on empty stomach to regenerate the gums etc. I used doctor best brand collagen, hyaluronic, chondroitin combination.

Hi Can you tell what type of Borax you used and how?

Hello Gertie, I am sure you will get plenty of good suggestions here, but I did want you to know that I found a selection of Tom's fluoride free sensitive toothpaste that I ordered through Amazon. I hope you will find your tooth pain solution quickly.

Gertie, for such a situation, swishing any of these three items have helped: h2o2, celtic salt, or baking soda.
Clove Oil

I recently had a crown replace and now the remaining tooth, under the new crown, is very sensitive. The dentist said use sensitive toothpaste or get a root canal. The sensitive toothpaste uses fluoride, which I would rather avoid. Any suggestions? The new crown is all some sort of composite material, no metal, that they milled in the office while I waited. I've been using clove oil, but it's not really convenient to carry about to work, etc, and doesn't really solve the problem. Is there a way to desensitize the nerve?

I found, accidentally, that taking vitamin c on a regular basis cured the sensitivity of my teeth.

If scrub or whiten your teeth you could make them sensitive. To tone down dental drama, you can use Alpha lipoic acid. MSM helps with receding gum line along with some other collagen supports like vitamin c, gelatin and silica. Salt and phosphorus are minerals in teeth.
1/2 tsp baking soda in 8 oz.water, mix, rinse and spit ~ helps calm down the teeth/cavity pain. Activated charcoal brushed on teeth and gums at night and left overnight kills off bacteria, cuts down pain signals in the mouth.
Walnut tincture feels good in the mouth or one iodine drop in some water swished around the mouth. a 1/2 tsp of coconut oil coating the teeth before bed and leave there at night. These all work for me and a few other things.
Borax

Hello all, Sensitive teeth were making eating and drinking miserable. Started taking borax about a month ago and teeth feel great now. No sensitivity at all any more. Also teeth don't seem as rough as usual.
Calcium
Posted by Davea0511 (Elkton, Md) on 03/19/2012
Eek - lemon juice will eat your enamel. Lots of studies proving that. Also your calcium supplement is probably only working because it has magnesium, zinc and Vit D in it. Calcium will actually make your situation worse if it does not contain those things in with it.
Lettuce

Romaine lettuce is excellent for sensitive teeth and rebuilding enamel. Any greens, really, for the matter will help. Chew about a head of lettuce a day, organic preferred, for about a week or so. I've done this and it has helped my teeth tremendously. There is also a wonderful toothpaste called coral white that has all natural ingredients and will help build and strengthen your teeth.
Calcium

For the last year, I've been experiencing frequent sensitivity in my teeth. At first, I thought it was my morning lemon juice and water so I cut that out, but I still had it. Then I switched to a toothpaste made for sensitive teeth and while that helped a lot, it didn't eradicate it. The only time I had any relief was when I took ibuprofen. Finally, one day, my husband came home from his annual physical and said he was in great shape except that the doctor said he should start taking a daily calcium pill because people over 50 start losing calcium. That's when it hit me. I remembered the old Wonder bread commercials from when I was little... "12 vitamins and minerals for strong bones and teeth! " or something like that.
I went out and bought a bottle of calcium pills and began taking 1000 mg. A day. In no time, my tooth sensitivity was gone! I stopped using the special toothpaste and went back to my morning lemon juice and water and still no tooth sensitivity. It's been about four months now and it hasn't returned. All I have to do is take my daily calcium pills and I'm fine!
Brush Gently

I got tooth sensivity by brushing too hard with an electric toothbrush but I cured it completely by brushing with Sensodyne. After a few days the sensitivity was gone. I don't use Sensodyne anymore because I don't want to use tooth pastes with fluoride but no problem because the sensitivity never came back!
