Recently, several new teeth protections have made headlines<\/p>\n

“A genetically modified bacterium that outcompetes the bacteria that cause tooth decay”<\/a><\/p>\n

Please don’t take Lumina’s anticavity probiotic It’s unsafe and probably ineffective<\/a><\/p>\n

Listerine runs about USD 10 in the states at Walgreens.<\/a><\/p>\n

How to make your own mouthwash:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Xylitol [1]and Erythritol [2] help against plaque and caries and may even have synergistic effects if used together [3].<\/p>\n

Mouthwash:
\n1 tablespoon Xylitol
\n1 tablespoon Erythritol
\n50 ml of hand warm water (be prepared that this stuff does not really dissolve well, it will be more a suspension than a solution)
\n[optional] A few drops tincture of myrrh<\/a>.<\/p>\n
