Do you recommend using baking soda to remove stains?

What kind of stains exactly?

It depends on how frequently. Basically the same concerns apply as to drinking OJ.

Oscar how can we repeatedly remove bacteria from below the gums (which makes them bleed to brushing)?

If I may offer a suggestion, flossing below the gumline can be helpful.
A solution of one part hydrogen peroxide 3% solution to three parts water should kill most fungal colonies in the mouth. Swish for five minutes (it will become foamy and will irritate sensitive areas on the teeth), but do not swallow the solution. Care must be taken not to overdo this treatment as it can lead to tooth sensitivity. Neutralizing other bacteria in the mouth can be helped by swishing a solution of salt water. About 1/4-1/2 teaspoon of sea salt to 8oz of water is about right. Sodium bicarbonate solutions can also be helpful in this regard, and may help to restore a balance of beneficial flora.

@panacea: by brushing with the Bass method (as explained earlier in this thread) and flossing below the gumline, as djkvan suggests.

@Kookaburra: if it isn't removed by brushing, try a normal toothpaste with abrasive once.

The thing is, I told myself about 2 years back that I will never use toothpaste ever again. I guess baking soda is frown upon, huh?

It's more a matter of trying out a less abrasive substance first.

I am curious to find out how long do you take on average to floss and brush?

5 minutes to floss and 5 minutes to brush? Or 5 minutes combined?

If I eat only fat like olive oil and avocado, is there still a need to brush/floss since there are no sugar?

If hardly anything touches your teeth, or if you don't eat at all, there is even more reason to brush and floss, even more regularly than usual. This is because the plaque on your teeth isn't being scraped off like normal with frequent 'chewy' meals.

That is not true.

If you don't eat at all, there's nothing to feed the bacteria in plaque. The bacteria need sugar. No sugar, no decay and/or cavities. Why sugar? Because the bacteria will 'digest' the sugar to produce acid which cause the decay and/or cavity to form.
