I read that toothpastes with baking soda are NOT recommended for people with veneers. If that is the case, why does Supersmile contain it and why is it safe for veneers?

Kristina,
I’m not sure where you’re reading that baking soda isn’t good for porcelain veneers or what it is about baking soda that’s not good for veneers. I’d be interested in knowing where you read that. Baking soda has low abrasivity, and it neutralizes plaque acids, and makes a great ingredient in toothpaste.
Supersmile toothpaste is recommended by a number of leading cosmetic dentists for use with porcelain veneers and other cosmetic dental work. In fact, the Supersmile website not only includes my endorsement, but also the endorsements of three past presidents of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry – Dr. George Freedman, Dr. Jeff Morley, and Dr. Jeff Golub-Evans. The reasons we endorse it are because we are familiar with the studies. It is a very effective cleaning agent. There are some stains, such as Peridex stains, where it seems to be the only thing short of a professional cleaning that will remove them. And, it is one of the most gentle toothpastes and will not scratch or harm any cosmetic dental work.
