My protocol which works for me

i dated a girl recently. she said i taste like choclate. it made me feel like i have finally got to a good place with this. heres what i do.

generally speaking this is a maintenence protocol not a cure. it might not work for your case but it works for me.

twice a day, morning and right before bed:

1. brushing teeth with xylitol based toothpaste and a gentle tooth brush. apply gently and go through every tooth from the top to the end of the tooth and special care around certain places where theres more food trapped.

2. brushing thr tongue with a different more coarse tooth brush. this requires time to get used to doing the entire tongue as well as the back where there is a gag reflax. after a few weeks this reflax weakens and it is no longer an issue. i go through very thoroughly till there is no more white on the tongue.

3. dental floss.

4. xylitol powder. i take a pinch and put it on the tongue. wait for it to cause saliva to build. wait for a minute till it dessolves in the salive. use it as a mouth wash for 2 minutes thoroughly and also try to take out my tongue a bit to get it to the back of the tongue (careful not to swallow). spit out.

after every meal i do the xylitol thing again. i keep it in a little dry oregano spice dispenser i emptied and put the xylitol in it so i can comfortably take it anywhere whenever i need to freshen up. Just go to the toilet and do it there.

results: if im doing the xylitol 3-4 times a day in total regularly (morning evening and 1-2 times extra throughout the day) i see far less plack than i used to. Also i see almost no tonsil stones anymore. in the rare cases i still have something in the tonsil cavities already formed on the tonsils, i can usually take it out pretty easily using a plastic pick that i burn the edge off to avoid it being too sharp and injure me. since using the xylitol it rarely happens and its usually just trapped food that is not so sticky and comes right out. I check this at night before bed.

i also avoid certain really sticky flour based snacks which i have noticed tend to get stuck in the tonsils and take special care and bursh my tongue an extra time if i eat certain sweet fruits i lnow give me extra trouble if i know i am round people. if i cant i will just use the xylitol or eat something different.

also i found i lack zinc and i am taking it and feel it might also make some difference.

im doing some things long term to hopefully cure myself from this protocol but even if it doesnt work i feel like im confident enough and finally dont have confidence issues around this.

Im case you dont know, xylitol is a natural compound that is a kind of a sugar found in fruit, that the good bacteria likes and the bad bacteria dislike. Theres plenty of research on it and its great for your teeth as well. Swallowing sometimes gives some stomach discomfort though so swallowing is less recommended.

hope this helps some of you. cheers.
