   Noting [2fries] idea about alternating pools of water that reduce algal growth   
   [link]:   
      
      
      
   Two phase dental hygiene:it seems plausible that a harmless antibacterial at a   
   mouth rinse might cyclically complement a harmlessly antibacterial toothpaste.   
   I have heard cheese prevents tooth decay so perhaps an emulsified oil or   
   cheese protein at the    
   toothpaste and some less yucky tasting ingredient from listerine could   
   complement each other cyclically.    
      
      
      
   Then again, perhaps there is zero correlation between the number of bacteria   
   in a mouth, the recovery time of S. mutans tooth plaque, and actual cavities.   
   It might be a novel, potentially effective breath freshener though. P.   
   gingivitis could be another    
   bacteria to measure.    
      
      
      
   Another possibility is a morning mouth rinse and an evening toothpaste, each   
   with very different ways of terminating plaque and breath scent bacteria. That   
   way morning breakfast tastes OK rather than toothpastish.   
      
      
      
   If cycling pH can be used to reduce bacteria quantity and growth then a   
   polyprotic fruit acid like food grade adipic acid (low pH) could be at the   
   toothpaste and possibly a flavor-tolerable high pH magnesium containing   
   molecule could be at the mouth    
   rinse.  Magnesium threonate tastes neutral or slightly pleasant and is even   
   published as a nootropic.   
      
      
      
   If it is possible to demonstrate that a toothpaste/rinse cycle reduces   
   cavities and unpleasant breath as effectively as brushing twice a day (Which I   
   do not do) then this could take the place of some toothbrushing. The flavor of   
   breakfast could be    
   improved for millions of people!  Minty breakfast cereal and surfactant flavor   
   disruption would be a quaint 2019 experience.   
      
      
      
   Also, there is that fruit that makes everything taste sweet, but takes 1/2 an   
   hour to work.  If you put that at the AM mouth rinse then it might have time   
   to work, causing breakfast to be really sweet tasting.
