Anecdote time: My great grandmother lived to be 102 and never had a cavity. Kept all her teeth to the end. One time, an orderly who thought she was just being senile tried to reach into her mouth to take out her teeth (thinking she had dentures). My great grandmother bit that person; hope they learned not all old people are senile! I’m 40% of the way there. No cavities and rave reviews from my dentist. I brush—-best…

And, what I always expected, it is better to rinse with two sugars:

two tablespoons and 50 ml of handwarm water (the stuff does not really dissolve good), a few drops of this: https://www.apodiscounter.de/myrrhentinktur-hetterich-30ml-p...
This tincture might not be available in the US due to alcohol content. I saw only oil based versions in the US.
I use a similar product, LEF Florassist Oral https://www.lifeextension.com/vitamins-supplements/item02120... That has BLIS M18™ and Immuno-LP20® BLIS M18: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9012604/ I have not noticed any difference.
Does this help with morning breath?
I just rinse my mouth every night with sugar, in addition to brushing. Have not had problems since.

What is your diet ? I am assuminf there is no processed sugar or refined wheat/gluten ?
Being Italian, I eat pasta literally every day, and my daily breakfast is chocolate chip cookies.
My impression is that mouth health is 100% genetics and biome lottery.
* I have extreme mistrust in their profession, due to bad experiences. When I was a kid, I injured a milk tooth which turned black. The dentist shrugged and said that it would fall normally. It didn't and it fucked up all permanent teeth that sprouted in random directions in the area. Every single dentist surveyed to fix the problem requested gigantic payments (to the tune of tens thousands of dollars, this was in the 90s in Italy, so adjust for inflation and cost of living to know how crazy this was) without providing any result guarantees, so I kept my crooked teeth. It doesn't help dentistry in Italy is that profession where you mainly do tax evasion, and occasionally look into people mouths to pass the time.
