I personally use:
- Colgate Optic White toothpaste
- Unwaxed floss
- Plax mouthwash
Brush and floss at night at night, swish salt water and baking soda in the morning.
Usually alternate with hydrogen peroxide, or crest original. Brush baking soda once a week. I'm not sure but I think the peroxide might be causing some gum recession.
Most toothepastes have to many crap ingredients, crest orig has the least. Still hesitant about flouride, but I don't see much evidence that brushing with small amounts of it is harmful. Glycerin is probably worse because it coats the teeth and prevents remineralization.
Plus I do it lightly, and I don't think it's the cause. it's just one front tooth on the inside, which wouldn't get much irritation from brushing compared to the outside of my teeth which are all fine.
I think it was caused from being burned from the peroxide, because I used to just poor a capfull under my tongue (in the area the one tooth has recession). Now I just put it on my brush and lightly shake it, just enough to clean but not burn.
Usual, brush for roughly 5 minutes each time. Floss quite regularly, but not every day. Mouthwash too. Brands not important. But the toothbrush has to be small and manoeuvrable, non of this fancy, gimmicky plastic humps nonsense. Floss has to be extra thin to get between my teeth.
Teeth never get fillings, straight, and sparkly (though not American, paper white).
Simples.

I brush my teeth at least twice a day. I use Curaprox toothbrush, Elmex toothpaste and Listerine mouthwash. At night I also use fluoridized floss. In addition, once a week I use Elmex gelee with fluoride. I'm from Europe though.
