What to do about bad breath?

Posted on August 27, 2010

I floss like crazy its amazing that I don't have gaped teeth because of it. But I brush day and night and gargle (Listerine) afterwords. But its seems like 4 hrs after I get into work my breath smells like I didn't even brush gargle or floss. So I carry gum to "disguise". Its not really bad breath just more I can feel its gross. I'm in between insurances right now so what does anybody suggest? Any home remedies or really good toothpastes and gargling solutions that anybody swears by?

A couple of questions about teeth whitening?

Posted on August 3, 2010

I thought maybe the lovely people in the beauty section might want to help me :)

My teeth are kind of discolored. I had braces, and since then they haven't been the pearly white that I wish they would be. They're not super gross though, just off white. I know it is a stain, because when I brush it doesn't go away. I am thinking about teeth whitening just because it would make me feel better about myself. I'm not sure if I want to do it at the dentist, or do it with the at home stuff. I know there are a few different kinds of at home whiteners as well. Has anyone used them? Do you like the results? Is it worth the money? Also, has anyone got it done at the dentist? Painful? I've heard it is pretty painful afterwords, that your teeth get really sensitive. If anyone has any information about this, that would be great! Thanks so much!
