Question: is there something I can do in the office to improve tooth health? E.g. after drinking a cup of coffee, maybe neutralize the pH with some antacid? Or, I don't know, chew some gum? Are there products that are relatively convenient and don't require a brush and water?



You can buy a bottle of it, swish it around your mouth and spit it out.

Yes, I considered that, and I appreciate the suggestion, but I think it's not very office-friendly to spit out liquids.


Spit in the bathroom, not the office?


Well, then it's not an office solution anymore. Might as well brush my teeth ...

Anyway, an llm suggested that eating some almonds can help neutralize pH. This is the type of solution I can work with.


A dentist once recommended Xylitol gum to me for this purpose. It's been too long to remember the details, but you can do some research on it.
