Baking soda actually works better (except for the taste). Toothpaste is
better to use long term though...it's mildly abrasive for cleaning. The
baking soda is highly abrasive and if you use it daily, you'll eventually
wear off the tooth enamel over time much quicker. This is from my dentist,
not just me guessing.
