I loove it! This is way different from that fake liquorice Haribo stuff. It's salty, very bitter and pretty awesome.
I can only eat it in small bits, putting an entire piece at once into the mouth would be overkill.

It also helps against my gum inflammation which is a much appreciated sideeffect.

awww I need something against gum inflammation, all the pepsi is killing me

Aww, poor boy. Some things that help me a bit are camomile tea, green tea and using curcuma as a spice, although all of these things make your teeth yellow over time. But yellow teeth are still better than inflammed gums.

Eating honey and keeping it in your mouth for a bit helps too! All these things are antibiotic.

Other than that choosing the right toothpaste and using an alcohol-free mouthrinse helps a lot.

The salty liquorice/lakritz helps too, but not everybody likes the strong taste. And eating too much of it is not good for your blood pressure.

Yeah, I'm fighting with gum inflammation since years. These things all help, but I'm too inconsistent in using them and it keeps coming back...

I use too much pressure while brushing, I think. But I can't do it any better...

Also try to avoid sour candies, they are the absolute worst for your teeth. I wish you could reduce the pepsi, but maybe that is too hard...

well maybe some of your yummy recommendations can work instead of pepsi :3 lakritz is very good :3 but what is the right kind

I forgot dental floss! But to be honest I don't like using it because I'm too lazy and it causes bleeding for me...

For lakritz? Anything that isn't Haribo. :3
Haribo contains so little actual liquorice extract that it has no antibiotic effect.

The one that I have is known as Salmiaklakrids or Saltlakrids in Danish.

But maybe you will hate the taste. It is very, very bitter. Not like the sweet Haribo lakritz at all.

oh I like the bitter salt lakritz :3 there is some good brands here but I have no idea if they are better than haribo

You just have to try. :3
I don't know if the amount of liquorice extract it contains is written on the packaging, maybe take a look next time.

The more it contains the better. You could also try looking in a pharmacy, because it is also used as a cough medicine, so you can find it there too.

nah they don't have that in pharmacies here I think, but they do in other places :3

Ah, ginger also helps, by the way! But personally I don't like the taste very much.
