I read somewhere study that Xylitol may be basically solving the issues with gums and plaque (and not eating loads of sugar is solving the health of teeth themselves).

As a result the brushing as such is less important then normally. Some stick of wood could be enough.

I've read about xylitol, too. The issue is that most products that have it are also loaded with all sorts of other BS.

I've read about some older methods of tooth care that involved fuzzing up the ends of sticks. A tooth brush is much more convenient... 😁

yeah. It is.

I'm now testing it using standard brush and powder with xylitol.

Seems to be working fairly well but it's too soon to judge. (And not solving your issue)

xylitol, mannitol and lactose all are inhibitors of many common tooth bacterial species, they call them "non-fermentable sugars" and all three can sometimes be found in especially apple ciders, for this reason, as the sugars in apple juice are very fermentable (and the skin of the apple is usually covered in yeasts that do it)
