Teeth health has been my schtick ever since it went way way downhill after chronic stress (I was using NDT at the time too). Dr. Ellie's system is good but I couldn't keep up with it. And hated buying the closys, it's basically glorified bleach anyway. Also the Listerine has conflicting info so I dumped that. Xylitol messed my gut and I hated swishing it. Stimulating the gums has a lot of supportive evidence. As does using a waterpik so that's what I have been doing. I put iodine in the waterpik, just a few drops as it is pretty strong on the gums. This greatly helps bleeding and gets food out that flossing can't. As far as decay... It's an acid and bacteria problem, along with lack of subsequent remineralization. I don't like milk it's makes my gut yucky so I eat cheese and that does help.
For decay that is getting worse please try to find a dentist who offers SDF silver diamine fluoride. It completely stops the decay in it's tracks. It's typically used for kids who can't sit still for dental work. Has saved thousands of teeth. My own son included. He will still need expensive work done but it bought us time. And he won't have to suffer an abscessed tooth.
Cortisol(aka chronic stress) destroys histamine in the body. Histamine plays a major role in secretions like saliva and what not. That's partly the reason why stress can cause teeth problems. Dry mouth = teeth problems. Protein and calcium is recommended of course for the teeth, more protein = more histidine = more histamine. Cheese is proportionally higher in histidine then most other animal proteins, so that makes it especially good.
