Baking soda toothpaste may keep gum disease at bay

This study tests whether using a toothpaste with sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and fluoride can help maintain gum health in adults who have already had non-surgical gum treatment. One hundred participants will use either the special toothpaste or a placebo for six months, while researchers check plaque, bleeding, and pocket depths. The goal is to see if this simple daily habit can prevent gum disease from coming back.
