My husband had heart surgery back in 2012 and has been dealing with tooth pain for the last three months. The dentist recommended a root canal, but I'm worried is it safe for him given his heart history? What should we consider before going ahead with it?

View allI'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'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 dealing with really bad tooth pain for the past two days. I've already tried the painkillers, ketorol dt, but it still hurts a lot. What else can I do for relief? Is there something else you would recommend? This pain is really getting to me.
pain could be because of tooth decay you need to visit a dentist and get it checked. Get an x-ray done if required. If there is cavity get it filled. If there is infection to the root of the tooth, you need to get it treated.
