Embarrassing!

I was having a conversation with my colleagues about nice teeth, then this other colleague said his are nice because he flosses, and suggested that I try it too because it reduces bad breath, then at the end he said 'You dont have to feel bad, we also experience bad breath even though ours isn't as bad as yours"

bad breath

I have terrible teeth where I was smoking for years and using drugs on top -- but now I've stopped the drugs and the smoking and my two bottom teeth have both fallen out with both roots.

Yes

Thanks very much for this informative newsletter. I have got a very bad breath that affects me especially in the morning when I wake up. I have been extracted 5 decaying teeth. Is there anything I can do to prevent my teeth from decaying?
