Consider chewing Xylitol gum after eating. Xylitol directly fucks up the bacteria that cause tooth decay. Make sure to get a brand that is mostly Xylitol (I like Pur).
However, be careful if you have a dog, because xylitol is super poisonous to dogs!
Chewing any sugar free gum after eating is good. Chewing the gum increases saliva production, and the saliva is good for a lot of reasons. It breaks down any food and plenty of bacteria, as well as balance the pH levels in your mouth.
Totally agree! I recently switched to a non-xylitol sugar free gum because we got a puppy. But if Xylitol is an option, it adds that extra boost!
Good suggestion, thanks!
Just donβt overdo it. In large quantities, xylitol is a powerful laxative.
