While this is true, there is no substitute for toothpaste and a toothbrush. Toothpaste contains baking soda which also neutralizes acid along with the bristles of a toothbrush reaching all areas and causing direct abrasive contact. Antacids will not give you all this. Since antacids are ingested, if overused you can cause an acid base balance disturbance. Acid is needed in the body and with too much alkalinity you can cause metabolic alkalosis, throwing your body into a range of problems. Antacids should be used for reflux and as indicated by it's label and used cautiously
Reply:no...antacids neutralize acid in ur stomach...not ur mouth. the acids that harm teeth r really only caused by sugar (which is y candy is so bad 4 u) so if u eat a lot of sugar...just brush ur teeth
Reply:Most antacids have sugar in them. My dentist told me if I need to take one in the middle of the night I should brush.
