We should never ignore a dry mouth. This blog aims to help you understand the causes, effects, and remedies for dry mouth so that you can help any loved ones who are suffering and be well prepared if your own mouth becomes dry.

Whether you call it dental anxiety, dental fear, or dental phobia, the problem is a legitimate one.

Bleeding gums can be alarming. Many people notice some bleeding from their gums when they brush or floss their teeth. It either shows on the toothbrush bristles or floss itself.

Bad breath is a legitimate problem that can affect both your social and professional lives. The problem with bad breath is that people often remain unaware that they suffer from it.

To stay on the safe side, we recommend preventing bad breath. You can do that by understanding it and taking the measures we recommend in this week’s blog.
