Baking soda, or sodium bicarbonate, is a mildly abrasive substance. This means it’s excellent at scrubbing away surface stains from your teeth caused by things like coffee, tea, red wine, or tobacco. The gentle abrasiveness of baking soda helps break up particles on the surface of the enamel without being too harsh or damaging to the teeth.
Moreover, baking soda is alkaline, which can help balance the pH level in your mouth and reduce acidity. This property helps protect tooth enamel from erosion caused by acidic foods and drinks.
