# Baking Soda Notes > Baking soda is mildly abrasive and often used for stains. See how to use it carefully and its limits. ## Guides - [Baking Soda Toothpaste and Abrasion](https://baking-soda-for-teeth.cozaba-2.workers.dev/baking-soda-toothpaste-abrasion/): Baking soda is a fairly mild abrasive, but how hard and how often you scrub matters as much as the powder itself. - [Baking Soda for Surface Stains](https://baking-soda-for-teeth.cozaba-2.workers.dev/baking-soda-stain-removal/): Baking soda can help scrub away some surface film, which may make teeth look a little brighter, but it does not change the natural color of teeth. - [How Often, If at All](https://baking-soda-for-teeth.cozaba-2.workers.dev/how-often-baking-soda/): For many adults the answer to how often baking soda should be used is rarely, and for some it is not at all. - [Baking Soda and Enamel](https://baking-soda-for-teeth.cozaba-2.workers.dev/baking-soda-and-enamel/): Plain baking soda is a mild abrasive, and the question of baking soda and enamel is mostly about wear from scrubbing, not about the powder dissolving the tooth. - [A Baking Soda Rinse](https://baking-soda-for-teeth.cozaba-2.workers.dev/baking-soda-rinse/): A baking soda rinse is a diluted, low-friction way to use the ingredient, and it is gentler on teeth than scrubbing with a paste. ## About - [About Baking Soda Notes](https://baking-soda-for-teeth.cozaba-2.workers.dev/about/): not medical advice, how the site is funded and how guides are made ## Optional - [RSS feed](https://baking-soda-for-teeth.cozaba-2.workers.dev/feed.xml)
