Avoiding fluoride toothpaste and following dentist-recommended protocols may lead to good oral health.

“For me, however, I've made some effort to avoid fluoride toothpaste. I do go to the dentist, as I mentioned, about once a year. I confess, during the pandemic, it was probably less, as they were busy, and it was hard to schedule, et cetera. I've had very, very few cavities in my adult life, hardly any. And my gum health is very strong, et cetera, et cetera, largely through taking on protocols that I'm going to describe in the Oral Health episode and that were recommended to me by friends who are both dentists and other friends who are periodontists.”
