[...] Tooth wipes are great for travellers because they don’t require any water, or even a brush. By using tooth wipes you also avoid getting toothpaste where it shouldn’t be, like on your clothes or bag.

The bacteria which causes gum/periodontal disease can be exchanged in saliva.

someone asked if they could catch advanced periodontal disease by kissing

There are alternative methods of cleaning teeth and freshening the breath. These do not involve brushing the teeth. For example, tooth/dental towels can be used to clean teeth. Your loved one may find this less invasive. You may have to do it for them

Sorry to hear that Rob.

It is best to consult with your health care specialist as some pre-existing conditions like Gerd are aggravated by peppermint.

Hello author thanks for this useful post on heartburn…Now will you please tell me one thing,that is, eating peppermint herb juice is a good natural remedy to avoid it or not..?

Well…. been suffering for three years with sinus problems…… had two operations and still no luck. They got a lot of polyps out last time. But even then, the inflammation in my nose remained….

Not to be the devil’s advocate after reading this good information, but how does one get someone with memory loss to brush his or her teeth? They can get upset if one pushes the issue with the explanation that the dentist requested one act as a reminder for tooth brushing. Thank you!

Carlos the danger lies in the cumulative effect which happens over time. If you drink coffee or coke once a day your risk may not be as great as someone who would have 4 or 5 cups a day. Breaking free of habits or addictions we’re fond of is very hard. In many cases we try to rationalize our behavior which may lead to a false sense of security. There is a famous saying “there is no such thing as being a little bit pregnant”. Sometimes we have to make up our minds as to whether we are willing to take the risk.

I drink one cup of coffee a day. I brush my teeth ten or fifteen minutes after; will this be okay or still this cup of coffee will be bad for my teeth. Also, I assume that one drink of Rhum and Coke will be bad even if I brush my teeth ten minutes later.
I will appreciate your advise.

Thanks

I never knew that Marijuana could cause gum disease, not so sure about this study and it’s validity, but this is new to me. Interesting concept though, thanks.

Thanks Milly! Good luck with your treatment.

This information has been very useful. I have just been diagnosed with nasal poyps after suffering from 9 out of the 11 symptoms and I’m hopping that after the treatment I will be able to get my life back. I have had persistant bad breath for years and I had no idea why. I’m hopping the problem is about to go away. Thanks for this article.
