Re: How does salt effect human teeth?

Hi Amanda,

Salt has an antiseptic effect, and that's the basic thing, but of course that 
effect is not on teeth, but on the oral cavity. Because of this, warm 
saline rinses are prescribed to patients after extractions.

Sodium chloride does not have any particular effect on teeth, but a very 
high concentration may cause a little attrition (wear) when accompanied by strong 
brushing.

thank you
