A lot of toothpastes and mouthwashes? Any that you can find in local stores? I have to order mine from Amazon.

  I'd buy a toothpaste with xylitol if I could, but I've never seen any in stores. It doesn't have xylitol, but I do buy toothpaste with bioactive glass which helps remineralize teeth without fluoride. I actually wrote an article about its history and why it disappeared from shelves in the US: https://medium.com/@ravenstine/the-curious-history-of-novamin-toothpaste-620c6bef8881 https://medium.com/@ravenstine/the-curious-history-of-novami...

    Thanks for sharing this. I've been asking dentists about this stuff for years, not one had heard of it. When I last read about it, it was just referred to as 45s5, and I didn't realize it was available from a major manufacturer. Now I have a chance to get some. Care to share your experience with using it?

    Some types of Tom’s toothpaste have Xyletol. You just have to make sure you’re getting one with fluoride too, and not one of the useless non-fluoride ones. I Typically stock up when I find it. There are other toothpastes with Xyletol too, but that’s the one I usually look for.
