Edit: Since it’s come up a couple times in the comment, I’ll add that there’s evidence use of a water flosser is more effective than dental floss.

As a heads up, maybe speak to both your dentist and doctor about reflux.
I have good teeth, and I recently found out about acid issues that have affected my stomach AND my gums. I’ve used a new “less acidic” mouthwash that had helped a lot, alongside antacids at night. Apparently if people find baking soda to be helpful, it’s often a sign of reflux that might not have been caught.
