That should surprise me, but I am sure it is because I have low plaque thanks to not eating refined sugar or sugary products.

Ah yes! Only a little. I use a brand I first learned about in Germany. Concentrated, flavored with fennel - which I prefer over mint. Directions say to use a "lentil" sized amount; a lentil is really very small I had my semi-annual teeth cleaning the other day. It went fairly quickly; the hygienist seemed pretty happy with the state of my teeth. I should perhaps add that my check ups in the past have usually shown that "something" needed to be done - at the very least I got the recommendation to floss more. Got off scot free this time, after being low carb for almost 2 years.
