Do you use any other products aside of using toothpaste? I am brushing my teeth with baking soda before i brush my teeth with toothpaste especially after drinking coffee or a cup of tea. Sometimes I am also using fine salt. They said it stregthens teeth.

I've been using Listerine whitening rinse or crest whitening rinse, right before I brush my teeth. I smoke, and drink coffee and tea. I can see a difference.

I used to use baking soda but my dentist said it was too abrasive and was hurting the surface of my teeth. Now I floss daily and use Plax, it's a pre-brushing rinse that helps to soften the placque, then I brush with Crest. A couple of times a year, I also like to use one of the whitening kits. The coffee and tea I drink tends to make my teeth yellow brown and even the most diligent brushing doesn't help remove the stains. I usually brush at least twice a day. If I am doing afternoon interviews, I also like to brush after lunch. When I had my braces on, I was supposed to brush 5 times a day.

When i had my braces before i tend to brush my teeth every after eating if possible. But i can't bring with me my toothpaste and toothbrush whichever i go so i have to find some alternative ways. I use baking soda a long time ago but my gums are still intact..hahaha..But well,i try to look for that Plax if there's any available here. Thanks a lot

I just use toothpaste. I brush twice a day, once in the morning and once before bed at night and I floss at night. I also floss some area where food gets stuck after eating.
