Alkaline Rinse
My dentist recommended an alkaline rinse that insurance won't pay for and has to be bought through their office. Would rinsing with a baking soda and water solution be effective?

Why not just rinse with water? Its neutral and would wash away the acid anyways? I don't see the benefit in it necessarily. I was just wondering why it was recommended cause I've never prescribed/recommended it before. I actually have never heard of it before but it doesn't necessarily mean its a bad thing though.
She says that the bacteria in my mouth are acidic, and that alkalines would help balance that.
