Glad it worked for you Raine. But be careful, it can be quite abrasive. Try not to brush the gums too much with it. I only use it maybe once in two weeks now. Sally

I had tried brushing with baking soda when I gave up toothpaste initially, but my gums were much too sensitive for it. I was pleased to find that they did very well this time around. Feels like I've just come from the dentist! :-) Thanks for reminding me of this rememdy. -Raine S Khanna wrote: What works for me with the staining is brushing with baking soda. I always use it to whiten teeth, even getting a little on a toothpick and carefully going between the teeth. It does a wonderful job.

Just pour a little dry baking soda on the stain, add a few drops of water to make a paste, and rub gently until it disappears. There may be lingering particles that will re-stain in a day or 2, but if you keep after it, eventually, it disappears for good. I think tooth enamel, being smoother & less porous than a laminate counter top, will probably respond quite favorably. Heather --------------------------------- Discover Yahoo!
