richfaxy: How do you control bad breath?

You do not need to CONTROL bad breath. You can get rid of it completely. First, go for cleaning(deep cleaning if necessary) once every six months, and secondly, try to floss at least once a day.

Go see your dentist if you have not. He may prescribe a different type of toothpaste if it is not disease-related(the sensation I mean).

Hi Dentist;

is tooth decay/tooth issues hereditary. Some people follow all the protocols i.e. brush 2ce a day, dnt eat sugry stuff e.t.c and still yet have teeth issues. My wife has regular teeth issues while i have never had any. I dont keep to the teeth protocols often, am over 30yrs and have never had any tooth issue. i only do scaling and polishing once a while.

the set of teeth in my lower gum is not properly arranged though; how can i make them arranged properly. i hope i wont get to use braclets.

toothdecay isn't hereditary.but some factors(which can becontrolled) can increase d risk 1.e scattered teeth , low fluoride intake,etc.also Some people follow d protocols in a wrong way. If u brush 10times daily and don't follow the principles yo teeth will be worse dan som1 dat brush once and follows brushin principles.

visit yo dentist to know his own price buh its between N200,000 to 300,000 for adults

nyabingi: How healthy is it brushing with salt once in a while, is it effective in killing germs and preventing tooth decay?

this is a questn I wudnt like to answer cos its complex. Buh I will answer politically.if u have money small enough to either buy only a toothbrush or a toothpaste for yo morning brushing.u shud buy toothbrush as the mechanical action of brushing is more important than other things(known fact). But the best is combining the two
