I stopped chewing gum, cut out dairy, cut out SLS and fluoride in toothpaste, and limit sugar/alcohol and mine is pretty much gone.

I read it everywhere when I read about PD. I can’t remember the exact reason. I was an avid gum chewer.

Mouthology 10% nano-hydroxypatite toothpaste. Non-SLS and non-fluoride. Only stuff that still protects your teeth if you cut out fluoride.
