Blossom 235527841522.🇬🇧 :
I have just found this on Reddit. Are these not your recommendations? Here’s a summary of her recommendations: Consume 6.5+ g of xylitol per day (mints, gums, etc.), preferably after meals. Twice per day, once in morning before breakfast, once in evening before bed, do the following: Pre-rinse with Closys mouth rinse for 60 sec [to reset PH to prepare for brushing] Brush teeth and gums for 2 min with Crest Refular Cavity Protection toothpaste [basic fluoride toothpaste to strengthen enamel] Rinse with Original Listerine for 30-60 sec [kill harmful bacteria] Rinse with ACT Anticavity Fluoride Rinse for 60 sec [resets PH after acidic listerine, along with mild fluoride solution to leave a film on your teeth temporarily] Spit but don’t rinse out mouth after any of the above steps. Don’t eat or drink for 30 min afterward. Have a separate morning and evening toothbrush. Use Mouth Watchers Antibacterial toothbrush preferably. Rinse toothbrush in Listerine for 30 seconds after each use, wash off with water, and leave upright to dry. Don’t floss unless food is stuck in your teeth, and then only floss that tooth. Apparently as of 2016 the American federal government removed flossing from their dietary guidelines, as the effectiveness of flossing had never been adequately researched, as required.

its not what people are thinking, its literally recommended by every dental professional other than you and its so the fluoride protects the teeth from the acidity of the food then you brush and floss at night to get rid of the food debris.

I've been using the system for 6 months, religiously. but i still can't understand why we rinse away the toothpaste which has 10 times the fluoride as the Act. the fluoride needs time to integrate with the enamel. would it, at least, be ok to wait 20-30 mins after brushing, to then do the rinsing? (I'm retired, so i have the time to wait to rinse:). thanks

But you aren’t supposed to brush teeth right after eating right? You’ll wear down your enamel as it’s still soft from the acidity of your food.

Hi, do you recommend brushing with your mouth care system immediately after eating breakfast? or xylitol first, then brush? I love your system. I've been cavity free for years now thanks to you

But eating after waking up just feeds the bacteria in the mouth. Isn’t the mouth drier and more susceptible to damage after sleep?

Bobbi Lena :
so I thought brushing in the morning would remove the bacteria from the night. which would then decrease the amount when breakfast is finished

I thought you were supposed to brush your teeth upon waking up to get rid of all bacteria buildup that happened overnight 🤔

Some people brush their teeth before work, then get breakfast an hour or so after they get to work.
