Bruce. The fellow should be OK doing what he is doing with his teeth as long as he is using a sugarless form of dentifice that has some alkaline base to it and that the mouthwash has no sugar or alcohol in it. Good oral hygiene involves brushing teeth AND flossing at lest twice daily (in the am and pm whenbactria counts are highest). Simple sugars, alcohol and tobacco are the worst culprits in creating cavities. Dairy which also contains a large amound of bacteria attracing sugar, as well as contribute to sinus infection which can cause upper tooth decay, is also a culprit for decay.
No problem washing dishes with eco-sound detergents as long as they are well rinsed. Using medications on a regular basis contibutes to disease and is symptomatic treatment at best.
I hope this helps.
Inpeace, Roy
