Hey, I don't know if anyone else has this problem. But I feel like I can't get my teeth white while taking the goldenseal root. I think when I swallow my herbs I let it run over my teeth and it is staining them. I am trying to learn not to do this but it is hard. haha. Has anyone used baking soda to whiten their teeth??
baking soda
Hi Portia,
I brush my teeth with baking soda a lot and people often comment on how white my teeth are. Don't really know if it's the baking soda or not. Sorry you're having goldenseal staining! Maybe it'd help to brush right after you take it? Somebody else on the forum mentioned getting empty gelatin capsules and transferring bad-tasting herbs to those caps. That'd aleviate the goldenseal-on-teeth factor but it does seem kind of tedious!

baking soda
Hi Portia,
Unless it was just me - I don't think Dr. B likes the use of baking soda. When I first started she said something about making sure it wasn't in my tooth paste.
I brushed with baking soda
I brushed with baking soda and Dr B said is ok. Hope it helps.
YAY!
That is so good to hear! I am happy. I am going to start using it. How often do you guys use it to brush. I read somewhere only twice a week because of the enamel but how often at the beginning is ok? Thanks for getting back to me everyone.
I have been using ecodent
I have been using ecodent powdered tooth paste for a couple of months and it is made with baking soda. I think it works well, and I use everyday just like the regular paste.
