My husband and I love the protocol. Our mouths have never felt cleaner. And the xylitol mints and gum are great! We use them after every meal and after drinking water. We got the Dr. Plotka toothbrushes you recommended and can tell a huge difference. After reading up on xylitol I want to know why my dentist never suggested we utilize it. Really infuriating! Thank you for the gift of knowledge concerning oral health!
