Xylitol helps kill plaque-causing bacteria because they think it's sugar." "If you're away from home (work, friend's house, driving, etc) and don't have a toothbrush, xylitol gum is great for a quick cleaning and breath freshening. "Get a tongue scraper and do that once in a while too." Don't rinse after brushing so the fluoride can stay on your teeth and do its work." Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and don't scrub too hard. "Do your brushing routine in this order: floss, then mouthwash, then brush. Your dentist can give you a prescription high-fluoride toothpaste."
"Get really good toothpaste with fluoride or hydroxyapatite for remineralization. Your enamel is softest directly after eating so brushing too soon can be harmful." "Swish with water and/or mouthwash immediately after meals/drinks." If you have to, do it while you're eating and not between meals." "I only eat two times per day (intermittent fasting is not for everyone but it's great for limiting acid exposure on your teeth). You'll save yourself a lot of time, money, and pain!" That's not a reason to give up, it's just a reason to absolutely lock down your routine. It's so godd**n hard to fix your teeth once they're on the downward slide." I had them in a good spot for a while, deployment in 2022 f**ked them up again though. I let my teeth go in college and didn't get them looked at until after I finished AIT in 2020. " Second best time is now! Start taking care of them and get into the dentist, a dental school even for free cleaning and check-ups."
