Electric toothbrush

Using an electric toothbrush can remove additional plaque and stains, keeping your teeth healthy and white.

Brush as needed, 3 times or more a day. Rinse with tap water when not using fluoride toothpaste. Only order "rounded" bristles, as these will not damage you enamel as much.

Don't brush immediately after a meal, this can damage enamel. Wait a few minutes for food to loosen, swish with alkaline drops, and floss first.

Frequent dentist visits

Better to diagnose problems early and obtain frequent plaque cleanings and polishes.

Tongue cleaner

The tongue is a rough surface where bacteria and food debris readily accumulate. It's also where the scent of smoked marijuana lingers.

By using a good stainless steel tongue cleaner between meals, you can greatly freshen your breath and cut down on bacteria in your mouth.

I recommend a couple different tongue cleaners. One for each bathroom, or for traveling. A long one, one which scrapes closer. A plastic one if you prefer.

Find a set of tongue cleaners which suite your needs.

Gum serum / remineralization powder

Use this after acidic or sugary meals, or if you cannot access a toothbrush.

Floss

Ideally bamboo or coconut, with charcoal.

If you are going to skip brushing, use this between meals and snacks.

Multiple toothpastes

  • Clay-based (e.g. Uncle Harry's)
  • Fluoridated
  • Charcoal

Have at least one portable toothpaste as well, for on the go.

Diet

Less processed sugars, fruits; more spicy food and savory vegetables.

Some raw foods, and no processed foods overall. To promote healthy gut bacteria.

Supplement calcium. And magnesium.

Take 1/2 multivitamin on days where you eat less healthy, as some of the vitamins are involved in maintaining internal tooth health.

Spring or filter water with a pH above 7. Limit soda, citrus, other acidic drinks.

Stay hydrated, avoid dry mouth and breath through nose if possible.

Limit snacking. Brush between meals.

Other tips

Don't clench, grind or bite your lip or fingers. Don't cause obvious damage.
