- Wet your clean toothbrush and simply stick it in the box to collect some baking soda on the toothbrush.
- Brush as you normally would, including the gumline when bacteria make acid that weaken our teeth.
- You can dip your toothbrush as many times as needed to brush all four quadrants of your mouth.

- You can also swallow a tiny amount if your urine pH strips show that you are frequently acidic.
