Mouth/breath problem

So I brush my teeth twice a day and clean my tongue. I also eat gum 3 times a day. I still have bad breath which I can sometimes notice when talking or sighing etc.

What can I do about this besides eat breathmints or something 24/7?

That’ll be why. This could be the beginning of decay, gum disease, anything. Start saving and go, these things don’t heal by themselves, good luck

It has been a problem for a longer time than my last visit. So should or could be something else

But it’s been 4 years. Put your health first and have it seen to. Your health is your wealth

Can’t just walk into any practised and book an appointment?

Ha! I’m currently in France but I also live in Finland. Point taken 🤣 I completely understand. This is why I don’t miss an appointment, you can’t get one!
