That's why brushing after and chewing xylitol gum after that might help. Or some other methods of cleaning the mouth after food has been consumed. Bacteria is caused by sugars, it is increased with time and moisture. Actually chewing any sugarless gum will help because the saliva is being activated increasing mineralization and even digestion, problem with most sugarless gums is they too can be damaging to the teeth and health.
My bet is a real good long swishing of water and spit at the very least may even help some if you were having lunch during work and couldn't brush. It's the fact that these sugars get to stay in the mouth for a long period of time and they get to cause damage before people can brush and get rid of the bad stuff.
So chewing a gum or swishing after a meal may cover the issue with the teeth to get rid of carbs in the mouth and then there is the fact that carbs also hurt the body,,, that's not just white sugar but all white products so lessening them in the diet might also help over all.
People really have to understand what the causes are,,, carbs, time, moisture,,,,, that all put together is why,,, Do you wake up with a gross mouth in the am,,, wonder why when you know you brushed before bed? Something left in there,,,? The length of time your mouth has had no action,,,? I brush and chew a piece of xylitol gum after,,, then go to bed,,, seems to be helping or maybe some of the other things I am doing,,,
You can read about trials done in Finland and other countries where normally as here, natural products are not studied unless it's of benefit to the governments,,, these countries cover dental costs till age 18 where they needed to do these studies to save money because kids eat more candy usually then adults and they found some promising results.
