In terms of keeping acid under control in the mouth, I take soda bicarbonate mouthwash (0.5 teaspoon to 250 mls water)in a plastic bottle around with me and rinse after eating/drinking.(I also ingest a small amount occasionally when I have heartburn, which works well) It is cheap and easily obtained. I also floss every night. Best done before bed as apparently bacteria do their worst damage over night, possibly because there is less saliva around to help protect the teeth. My dentist is very happy with my teeth saying there is no signs of plaque build up. Sally
