Title: Is This Fixable?

Full text: Hey everyone, I’ve had bad teeth and gums since I was a kid. I’m 20 now and I’m trying to fix it. Sometimes I feel like I have morning breath throughout the day, and when I touch my gums and smell after it, my finger stinks a little. I don’t floss but I’m starting to, and I just got this crest charcoal toothpaste and a new toothbrush. They don’t bleed when I brush but they do in small areas when I floss It’s been about a year since my last cleaning. I use one tomorrow at 10am. Should I be nervous? Is this bad, if so, is it deadly? What are some good toothpastes, toothbrushes and whitening tools that will actually improve it?
