I have never heard of this before. I might just give it a try. Does it work with frozen straberries or do they need to be fresh.

If you are allergic to strawberries, you can just brush with baking soda once a week and follow up by brushing with Listerine. It really helps keep teeth white and keeps plaque from building up.
