Re:

I confess, I do brush my teeth once in a while when I break the rules, or before a long drawn-out kissing session. I floss once in a while just to see what was in there, which is almost always nothing and also use a dental pick attempting to scrape calculus but rarely find any. If certain conditions are present, one will get deposits but for the most part if one eats correctly it never forms. Aqueous solutions of halogens are powerful bleaching agents and iodine water makes an awesome tooth whitener if used appropriately. Appropriately means very dilute solution and swished a couple times daily, that's it.
