• This is crucial: Use Squigle® Enamel Saver® Toothpaste exclusively. Patented Enamel Saver is free of SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate) and other irritating ingredients which contribute to bad breath. The flavor is mild to prevent irritation of delicate tissues. Squigle® has 36% Xylitol to prevent plaque and cavities better than regular toothpaste.



• This is also crucial: Floss twice a day, before you brush. Use unwaxed floss. If your teeth are closely spaced, use Glide® Floss.



• Use a small headed, soft bristled brush. Apply Squigle® along the full length of your toothbrush. Brush for 2 minutes. When you are done brushing, gently brush your tongue (especially the back), the inside of your cheeks, and the roof of your mouth. Then rinse.



• Don't use mouthwash (floss instead, as mentioned above).



• Don't use candy or breath mints, especially cinnamon or spearmint.



• Don't smoke or use tobacco in any form.



• If you chew gum, chew an ultrahigh xylitol gum, such as Epic® or Spry®. It is preferable to select fruit flavor gum, not cinnamon or spearmint.



• Take a multivitamin + multimineral daily, after a meal. (regular Centrum® is OK). In addition, take 500 mg to 1000 mg vitamin C daily.



• At the very first sign of thirst, drink a glass of water, not sweetened drinks. Preferably, drink water frequently enough so that you don't get thirsty.



• A short course of antibiotic or antifungal therapy is OK.



• Get sufficient rest each night.
