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.

Is there a way to make my front two teeth smaller without getting crowns? I'm not keen on major dental work are there any quick procedures or tools that can do this? Just worried about how it might look and feel.

Veneers are a great option if you desire to have the smile of your dreams and want instant results without tooth extractions or other invasive and time consuming treatments. Veneers are thin shells of porcelain or composite resin that fit on the front surface of your natural teeth.

I'm really worried because my tongue always smells really bad, and I think it's causing my terrible breath. I scrape it every day, but nothing seems to help. Is there anything I can do to fix this? And what kind of doctor should I see for this issue?

You may be experiencing halitosis due to bacteria on your tongue. I recommend using a tongue scraper along with an antiseptic mouthwash containing chlorhexidine. You can also try using a tongue gel containing zinc chloride. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated and maintain good oral hygiene by brushing your teeth and tongue regularly. For over-the-counter options, you can try using Colgate Peroxyl Mouth Sore Rinse as a mouthwash and Orabrush Tongue Cleaner for scraping your tongue. Remember to follow the instructions on the packaging for proper use. If the issue persists, you can consult with a dentist or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist for further evaluation and treatment.

I've been prescribed both amoxicillin and diazepam, and my dentist mentioned it's okay to take them together. But I just came across some information suggesting it might not be safe. I'm a bit worried because I've already taken both. Can you clarify if there's any risk with combining these medications?
