When on deployments, I always had a small bottle of Baking soda. Swishing a bit and spitting it out or alternatively swallowing it after an acidic meal always kept my teeth fresh at any time of the day.

Better than nothing, but you gotta work the somewhat dry powder down into the gum line. . . and it takes at least five seconds to kill the bacteria. Just swishing with a dilute solution isn't going to do that.
