Teeth


Question Posted Thursday November 10 2005, 7:38 pm

No matter how much or little I brush my teeth the night before, I always wake up with a nasty tasting coating all through my mouth that also gives me bad breath. It shows up on my teeth as like white patches sometimes, that can't be brushed away. I've used mouth wash and it doesn't change it. I brush my teeth twice a day, and properly. Does anyone know what the problem could be?
I also have braces and I can't remember if I had this problem before my braces or not, but it certainly wasn't this bad.

Try an electric toothbrush, that new one that has come out where it scrubs your tongue too. You're not the only one who suffers from it, it's a common thing and it won't stay with you forever! :)

as gross and wrong this sounds hydrogen peroxide will do the trick...put it in your mouth and swish it around let it sit for like 40 seconds then spit it out...it is really gross but will work!

My friends have this l it was a medicine you took as a child [their reason] and you can get surgery on them but that will make your teeth week or able to fall our. You can also bleech them. But if it was me I would leave them alone, people like you for you not your teeth lol but if you really want to I would suggest bleaching your teeth instead of surgery. Maybe start out with the whhite strip things from colgate i think. But beware, don't use them too much it may take alot of your enamal on your teeth away <33

it might be because you dont floss. ask for these little flossing things they should be blue that help you floss when you have braces next time you go in to have then tightend. just because your brushing doesnt mean your getting all the food out of your teeth and/or the brakets. so start flossing. i have had braces and the flossing takes a bit more time then if you didnt have braces but its obviously expected since you have a wire in the way. so just try the flossing. if it still doesnt go away. talk to your dentist or orthodontist and they should help you out.

Okay this is the answer you need to pay attention to lol I know exactly what youre talking about right down to the white patches. It happens to me also, and 2 out of three dentists told me the same thing, and im pretty sure its right. If you sleep with your mouth open, all that breathing drys out your teeth. The part of your teeth that are exposed overnight are the part that gets the white patch. Crest white strips help this A LOT because the whiter your teeth are, the less they show up. I would go for the white strips. They worked really well for me. For me, they show up better if I drink colored pop (such as mountain dew or pepsi)... Idk why. But as for the coating, just brush your teeth like you are doing, you cant do anything about that. The bad breath, however, ask your dentist because they have special mouthwashes and toothpastes and stuff that you dont get in stores for bad breath. In the mean time, carry around strong mint gum for when the bad breath comes and you cant brush your teeth.

I hope I helped, Im pretty sure you have the same problem I did. Good luck

Dear Teeth,
Alright, Everybody has bad breath, TRUST ME i know i do. And besides, have you tried whitening strips? My mom used those and they worked. You Don't need advice for this. I HATE MY TEETH! They are crooked and gapy. Teeth are nothing to stress about. And besides If you are worried bout bad breath buy some mints and take some in the morning before breakfast. And if they look blochy, No biggy. Im shure you are very beautiful. Trust me, everyone has some flaws. But I hope this works for you.
