Banish bad breath

 
My breath smells REALLY bad all of the time. I brush my teeth at least 3 times a day and constantly chew mints. Why does it smell still this way and how can I get rid of it?

 

Hey sweetie! Bad breath totally, er, stinks. Also called halitosis, that funky odor is caused by bacteria and left over food decaying in your mouth—yuck! Before you freak, it’s reassuring to know that about 90 million people suffer from chronic bad breath and there are lots of ways to stop the stink.
 
If your toothbrush and mints strategy just isn’t enough, there are lots of other options. An easy switch? Replace mints with gum, which triggers saliva production, your best bet for cleaning out your mouth. Still struggling with the stench? Pick up a waterpick at your local drugstore for a better clean, or grab fluoride toothpaste to step your teeth cleaning up a notch – don’t forget to brush your tongue (it’s a sneaky hiding spot for gross bacteria to grow).
 
If nothing works, see a dentist about the possibility of cavities or tooth decay. And remember, bad breath is nothing to be embarrassed about, and you should feel comfortable expressing your concerns to a doctor or your parents. Good luck, girl!

I always have to go to the bathroom(pee)! Its soo embarassing during school! I have to go before school, in between ALL my classes, and at breaks even if i dont have to go. If i don't i get really nervous! How can I stop this habit!
Thanks




Hey girl, by limiting your water intake so there's less to release. Try to limit your restroom breaks to between classes or just lunch.

MODERATOR!!!!!!!!!! My mom wants me to have braces, but I don't want metal braces. I want Invisalign. I love fruits and veggies, and my friend says it gets stuck a lot and you also can't eat meat and my family eats meat a lot. I'm also thinking about when I actually master guitar (which is soon), I'll try to get some gigs around my town so appearance will be important to me. I have a slight open bite and a slight posterior crossbite. And the inside of my cheeks are sensitive. Any advice?




Talk to your orthodontist! Theyll be able to help you with this decision. Theyll be the most helpful. xoxo kerra

MOD MOD MOD - ok so i have 2 questions 1.)Do sports and dance/ gymnastics delay puberty and a girl's period? 2.)What workouts wont make me loose weight, but gain some muscle mass(and not the football player kind) plz answer thnx!

 

 

Hey gal. 1)Nope, unless they are making you really underweight. 2) The key is to make sure that you eat right and workout at the same time. If you are eating protien etc. you should be fine.
