Dentistry Problem One:
Bad Breath

Dentistry Problem Two:
Tooth Decay
Tooth decay (cavities) occurs when plague combines with sugar and starches from the food we each day. The best way of preventing tooth decay is by daily brushing and flossing, as well as visiting your dentist regularly for check ups.
