Re: Dry mouth and smelly breath
SE,
I think you should go to your dentist for a thorough cleaning of teeth/gums. They can remove anything and everything that might be unreachable when you're brushing. Mouthwash is just like using perfume to hide the smell when people don't shower for days. My dentist has told me again and again that mouthwash doesn't do jack. I don't know if you have a tongue cleaner but please keep one in your bathroom. It grosses me out that people use toothbrush to clean off the goo accumulated on their tongue but using a tongue cleaner is SO much better. Many times, there's so much goo on the tongue itself that it causes the bad smell even if your teeth are sparkling clean. Use that before brushing your teeth every morning or night. Chewing apples and drinking cranberry juice is also very good for your teeth. Apples especially make your teeth and gum stronger while cleaning them and cranberry juice prevents cavities. I personally love the new Aqua fresh advanced clean toothpaste. I noticed a big difference in my teeth (in terms of cleaning, smell, overall appearance) and it really helps.
