I've been struggling with bad breath, but I don't have any cavities or gum issues that I know of. I'm really starting to get worried because I can't figure out what's causing it. Could it be something else, or is there something I might be overlooking? Any advice on what might be going on or how to deal with this would be really appreciated.

Bad breath can sometimes be caused by a dry mouth, digestive issues, or dietary habits even if your teeth and gums are healthy. Stay hydrated, clean your tongue daily, and consider checking for underlying causes like acid reflux or sinus issues.

I have a cavity in my molar and there's some skin growing over it. My dentist suggested surgery to remove the skin first and then treat the cavity. Is this the best approach or are there other options I should consider? I'm a bit nervous about the procedure.

I'm really struggling with a bad toothache right now. Can I take ketorolac 10mg to help ease the pain just for now?

Ketorolac 10mg can be used for temporary relief of toothache pain. However, it is important to follow the recommended dosage which is usually 10mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain.
