That's what the googles are for.

Gum. People (including me) look like morons when they chew it, but it really does clean your teeth and freshen your breath better than mints.

I usually pop a piece in, give it a five to ten minute chew when no one else is around, then spit it out.

I prefer gum for the same reasons. It cleans your teeth, stimulates saliva flow (which also freshens your breath and washes away bacteria) and lasts longer than mints.

Breath mints make my breath feel fresh while they're in my mouth, but after they're gone I just have post-sugar dry mouth aftertaste.

They always feel like they are burning the lining of your tongue right off, which in my mind, equates to killing bacteria and whatnot. Mints. Mouthwash.

Gum makes me scared I will lose a filling.

This is how I roll too. I prefer icy mint flavors however I read that cinnamon flavored gum actually produces more saliva which has all those bacteria fighting benefits you mentioned so I try to chew that from time to time. The only problem is that cinnamon gum makes my purse smell funny.

And I only chew sugar free gum. I don't like fuzzy teeth.

Yes, I forgot to mention sugar free. Which is funny because I avoid artificial sweeteners like the plague otherwise.

In the 14th/15th century, the societal elite and rich folk in the UK (at that point - Royalty, merchants, judges, executioners and prostitutes) would often attach two or three leeches to their tongue in a mutual sucking frenzy to taste their rotten-toothed mouths. Apparently, that's what popularised jellied eels as a colloquial food.

In answer to the question, mints. Fisherman's Friends or orange Tic Tacs. I often rub white Tic Tacs on my palms just for the smell.

Gum. Nothing too hot though. I like to blow bubbles and make snapping noises with it. I'm chewing some at the moment. Hubba Bubba.

I dont have any teeth sadly.

Altoids gum... That stuff clears out my sinus's!!
