V, I've seen recommendations for using it only once a week.Replied By Stevie Lynn (Lala Land, Ca, USA) on 04/08/2013
Baking soda is a wonderful non abrasive cleaning cleaner... It is safer for your enamel than many comercial toothpastes. I have been making my own toothpaste blend for 6 years... I mix 2 Tbs. Baking soda, 2 Tbs. Peelu powder (can be found online or in heathfood stores, often in bulk... Plant based, nonabrasive, with properties conducive to good oral health) 2 tsp pink sea salt, and 1 Tbs. Eco-Dent floride free/flavor free all natural foaming tooth powder.
When I first started I had bad receeding gums and my mouth was not in verry good shape, so I add 2 drops of myhrr oil to my toothbrush in the evenings. The problems cleared up within the first 2 months of using this mixture, and by the end of the first year I could see that I had regrown gum... My teeth are a lot whiter too.

Baking soda is not abrasive...use a soft head toothbrush and you will be fine. I have not used toothpaste for over 30 years and no problems. Always use a waterpik to flush debris out between teeth every brushing, you still need to do a quick floss afterward to get the "scum" off the enamel between teeth.
