How to Make Natural Cat Toothpaste
Your cat can benefit from having her teeth and gums cleaned naturally. Start getting her used to having her teeth cleaned by rubbing her teeth and gums with your finger. Once she is comfortable with this, switch over to a soft finger brush, gently rubbing her teeth and gums with the brush. Use the damp brush every time you choose to clean her teeth before and during the brushing process.

I would think this might be a bad idea because humans are recommended NOT to use baking soda from the box on their teeth because baking soda straight from the box is too harsh for the enamel of teeth. Toothpastes with baking soda in them have been specially formulated to be safe for teeth.

I think I'll try this on Ella.
