Hi there,
I have been aweful with my teeth when i was younger by being stupid
enough to eat large amounts of carbs and brush my teeth once a day ...
that silly 1 year stunt has left me with several areas of
decalcification (mostly around the gumline of the teeth). So because
of these decal'ed (as seen by white lines on my teeth) cavities (the
black dots that grow over time) start appearing over the years despite
my obsessive regimen of brushing within 20mins after eating each day
and flosing each time (so on avg i brush and floss 3x a day). And i
also use mouth wash jsut before brushing. I also use a scalar once a
month to scrape off any plaque. But yet cavities STILL keep
appearing.
My only hope is to buy some really effective fluroide mix (not the
lame-a.s amounts in toothpaste or in water) that will produce a more
effective guard on my teeth, and hopefully restore them to a better
health over time.
Is there a fluroide rinse, or ideally some kind of solid mix i can
pack betweeen my teeth (like at the dentist office) each morning to
help my teeth out? I want ot be able to purchase this online or
through some black market if i have to.
I've asked my dentist but the prices are insane...Online, i am hoping
to find a cheaper deal for the same effectiveness.
Thanks

Try Gel Kam. It's not a tooth paste. You brush it on at bedtime after
brushing and flossing. Spit but don't rinse. I think this is the
strongest OTC fluoride you can get.
ProDentec also makes a good paste that is 1.1 percent fluoride, but it's
quite expensive.

ACT home fluoride rinse is a good product. There are others as well.
How often do you get your teeth cleaned at the dental office? Did your
dentist/hygienist train you to floss properly?
What commercially available drinks (bought in a bottle or can) do you drink?
