1. Biotene toothpaste (most stores have this)
2. Baby's toothbrush (easier on the gums)
3. WaterPik
4. Custom flouride trays (about 200+ bucks from your dentists)
5. Ask them for prescription strength flouride foam to go with them (far superior to OTC stuff)
6. Biotene mouthwash (do NOT use mouthwash with alcohol in it)
7. Yarn type dental floss - easier on the gums - this stuff is harder to find but usually drug stores have it - it has a candy cane logo on the container (J&J)
