I am so upset.  I brush three times a day pretty much after every main meal.  I floss twice a day.   I use mouthwash that is suppose to be good for gum care.  Yet I still manage to get a cavity under my crown of all things.  Now I need a root canal and a new crown.  With insurance my cost is still over $900.00.

I have been dealing on and off with a bad breath problems.  There are days when no matter how many mints I have I still have bad breath.  I do not know why I am not a smoker. I brush my teeth right after breakfast.  Why am I having to put up with this.   I do not like talking to close to people for fare that I may offend them with my breath.

I am seventeen right now and I have very horrible teeth.  When I was younger I have to admit I did not have good oral hygiene.  I was really bad at taking care of them but I am paying for that now. My teeth are very yellow and I even have some brown spots.  They also are a little crooked that I would think braces should fix.

I am fourteen years old and I am wanting to know if having bad teeth and gums are an inherited trait?  Both my parents and even my grand parents have bad teeth.  I had lots of issues with my baby teeth.  I had at least a dozen cavities that had to be filled when I had my baby teeth.

I think my friend is too much and needs help.  Really she is my best friend but is always brushing and flossing her teeth after very little thing.  The brushing is not so bad because she has to do that in a rest room.   She will brush after eating anything and then run to the rest room to brush.  Even if the rest room is dirty she will still brush her teeth.

Is it okay to brush longer

I just think that two minutes is really not all that long.  Can you really clean your teeth good in only two minutes?  I brush for about five to six minutes.  Well brushing longer be bad for your tooth enamel?

Proper oral hygiene

Okay so I know that one has to brush their teeth twice a day and floss but is there a correct and wrong way to brush and floss?   Are there more things that need to be done beside just brushing and flossing?  I have to write about oral hygiene for a class I am taking but I really only know to brush and floss.  What else is there?

I was just wondering what is black hairy tongue.  My mom’s friend dad has it and they were talking about it the other day.  She was saying how bad it looked.  What is it and how do you get a black hairy tongue?   They did not seem to really know much about it.

Okay so I just notice that I have been using expired Listerine mouthwash.  The mouthwash expired in 7/2009.  So it is really old.  I have been using it for the last two week.  Should I be worried?   I do not feel sick and it did not taste different but a little worried about it being so old and using it.
