Is it bad to let toothpaste just sit on your teeth....crazy idea?!


Question: Is it bad to let toothpaste just sit on your teeth....crazy idea?
I got this hair-brained idea after brushing my teeth a little bit ago. Well, I was just brushing them like normal, when I accidentally got some toothpaste on my white shirt- I didn't notice it until I came back to use computer, then went back in the bathroom to wipe off the toothpaste. Where the paste had gotten on my white shirt left it SUPER white. So I was thinking: Maybe I could put a thin film of toothpaste on my teeth with a Q-tip, then put on my custom mouth trays & let them sit for maybe 10 or 15 minutes? Would trying something like that wreck/ ruin my teeth/gums?

I have tried whitening my teeth in the past with whitening kits- non of which have worked so far.

Answers:

it can damage your teeth if the ph of your gums and teeth goes to high



doesn't seem very good for your enamel... i would assume the directions don't say "let sit on teeth" for a reason
