Toothpaste and baking soda for nose brushing

Baking soda toothpaste is a toothpaste that uses baking soda as the main abrasive. The main ingredients of toothpaste are: abrasive (the main ingredient of toothpaste), surfactant (for cleaning and foaming) and excipient binder (used to bind these powders into the shape of toothpaste).

Ordinary toothpastes on the market, low-end ones mostly use calcium carbonate as an abrasive, while mid- to high-end ones mostly use hydrated silica. Both are insoluble in water and remain particulate during brushing, which naturally wears down your teeth.

The baking soda toothpastes on the market are all high-end functional toothpastes that use high-quality ultra-fine baking soda materials. The baking soda dissolves in water when brushing your teeth and is combined with surfactants. Therefore, the effect of abrasives on teeth wear is minimal during the entire brushing process.

How to clean your teeth?

Researchers pointed out from the beginning that the acidic pH of the mouth is the culprit for tooth decay. The pH value of 5.5~5 is considered to be the critical value for tooth demineralization. It shows that alkaline baking soda (pH 9), especially when used as a mouthwash, can help maintain a healthy pH in the mouth.

Studies comparing toothpastes with and without baking soda have found that those containing sodium bicarbonate are significantly more effective at removing plaque — especially in hard-to-reach areas. It also acts as a chelating agent and antiseptic against most oral pathogens.

Effective antibacterial agent, reducing the incidence of periodontitis. Unlike some toothpastes that directly add alkali (sodium hydroxide), baking soda can continuously produce alkaline hydroxide ions, which can maintain the alkaline environment in the mouth for a long time (if you do not eat during this period, such as at night). Practice has also proved that when using baking soda toothpaste, you can hardly feel the growth of dental plaque after one night.
