Can Baking Soda Prevent Cavities? Here’s the Truth
By Regency Dental Group Includes video
Can baking soda prevent cavities? In this video, I break down the truth about baking soda vs fluoride, cavity prevention, tooth decay, enamel, and remineralization. As a registered dental hygienist, I explain why baking soda can help reduce acidity in the mouth and potentially lower cavity risk, but does not work the same way fluoride does when it comes to strengthening enamel and helping prevent cavities. If you’ve ever wondered whether baking soda toothpaste can replace fluoride toothpaste, how cavities form, or what actually helps protect teeth from acid attacks, this video explains it in a simple, evidence-based way. We’re talking plaque, pH, demineralization, remineralization, fluoride myths, and the real difference between baking soda and fluoride for oral health.
