In addition to the specific mouthwash & toothpastes I use, I’m an avid user of the Oral-B toothbrush & Water-Pik. I also rinse “only” with salt water & occasionally brush only with baking soda without aluminum. Occasionally do
oil pulling with coconut oil & always do standard flossing & tongue scraping.

https://naturessmile.com/PerioProtect:Also worth mentioning is PerioProtect: Perio Trays are designed to fit over your top & bottom teeth, filled with hydrogen peroxide gel & sit on your teeth 15 minutes, twice a day to improve gum health such as receding gums, gingivitis, periodontitis, & other infectious conditions.
I began this process in July'24, about 9 months ago & even though I have not seen any major improvement, the practice is worth continuing since it helps maintain the health of my teeth & gums. The recession of some of my gums is extreme because so many teeth are missing, unable to sustain the height of other gums, but I am experiencing no discomfort with those teeth or gums.
