Get a note from your dentist, saying you need to chew non-acidic sugar free dental gum for five minutes (or whatever) after lunch, and take it to the principal's office so you can get permission?
You're making this out as if it is a no brainer. First of all, my dentist is out in New Jersey, and secondly, I've heard some kids in my school try that before. They have some serious trusting issues at my school. There's a "No Tolerance" policy, and I'm not sure if this is even worth it.

No way, really?

I'm pretty sure they would think that we'd do it for a little while, then we would do it without their knowledge.

I guess just brush your teeth and be all slobbery out in front of everybody, and spit it in the trash, then rinse your toothbrush in the drinking fountain.
See if you can get other students to do it too (with the goal of getting the school to allow dental gum, since tooth brushing like that is not practical).
If you can get half of the school to brush their teeth and be slobbery, spitting in the trash, dripping toothpaste, and just generally being gross, eventually your teachers may be so grossed out that they let you guys to each chew a single piece of dental gum (one piece each, not everybody chew the same piece) for five minutes after lunch.

I'm not sure if you're being serious or not.
