I'm just curious how long it took you to start seeing a difference.  I've been brushing 3 times a day for the last 3 weeks and have noticed zero change in my teeth.  Not that I'm expecting to see anything this quickly because I do have pretty bad gum recession and yellowing.  I think it'll take some time.  I just don't know how long to expect for something like that.  Anyone with experience with this who would like to share would be much appreciated!  Thank you!

I would not brush teeth with MMS1 or CDS because of the low pH of both (3.5 and 4.5). It is possible to brush off tooth enamel.

But you can add a pinch of baking soda to up the pH and then brush your teeth?

Jim Humbles book has a specific protocol for brushing with ClO2 and talks about how it's not even as acidic as some fruits that people eat regularly so it it's okay.  I've been following this protocol.   Also, I've tested the Ph and it's as mild as my baking soda toothpaste and is at a Ph of about 6 while, after brushing with it, my saliva is at around an 8.  

I brush with regular toothpaste, floss, and irrigate with a waterpik. Afterwards I rinse with diluted CDS (2/3 water and 1/3 CDS). I beleive it will get where it needs to go without having to brush with it. The CDS has helped with tooth pain and I believe corrected the problem more than once.
