Hi friend..

1. Make Toothpaste :
A paste made from baking soda and a 3 percent hydrogen peroxide solution can be used as an alternative to commercial non-fluoride toothpastes. (Or here’s a formula for a minty version.) You can also just dip your toothbrush with toothpaste into baking soda for an extra boost.


2. Freshen Your Mouth :
Put one teaspoon in half a glass of water, swish, spit and rinse. Odors are neutralized, not just covered up.


3. Soak Oral Appliance :
Soak oral appliances, like retainers, mouthpieces and dentures, in a solution of 2 teaspoons baking soda dissolved in a glass or small bowl of warm water. The baking soda loosens food particles and neutralizes odors to keep appliances fresh. You can also brush appliances clean using baking soda......

hope it helps you..
