The most common critique is that it coats the teeth and interferes with remineralization. Did you have any thoughts on that issue?<br /><br />Oh, and I am planning on making my own homemade toothpaste very soon, but was going to use a mix of bonemeal and sea calcium (extracted from seashells) as the calcium additive Not sure if either is too abrasive, do you think would be more beneficial to just add powered calcium carbonate?<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17822269250961885370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5699040314448130509.post-78576663962020247072013-10-16T16:35:07.049-07:002013-10-16T16:35:07.049-07:00Thank you for correcting me.

I have an 11 years old daughter who does not stop talking about "Toms" as shoes. <br />As far as Tums goes, it has a very hight PH level of 10.5 which makes it considerably basic. Baking soda has a PH of 9. <br />Tums Extra is sugar free and its active ingredient is, Calcium Carbonate. 1 tablet of Tums, has 300mg of Calcium. <br />For advance cases of dental erosion due to very low PH level, a PH of 10.5 that will neutralize the acid more than a PH of 9 is recommended. The Calcium will also help to seal the dentinal tubules which their exposure is the reason for high sensitivity of teeth in acidic environment. <br />Thank you for your comment.

Are you aware that Tums has sugar in it and therefore would not be ideal to use in toothpaste? Baking soda also neutralizes acid so why would another antacid would be necessary...and especially one that contains sugar? Wouldn't a dentist know not to recommend that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
