Don't forget about finding a good dental hygienist -- very important to keep your mouth extra clean the rest of your entire life! Not all dentists understand the importance of biofilms and how to get rid of them -- that's why I fired my dentist and found a new one that uses ozone, xylitol, etc. Dental-specific bugs have been definitively documented on both human and prosthetic joints -- keep them clean!
For more on this, see the DENT Connection forum on my biofilm site.
