i've been eating a lot of yogurt for the last 1/1,5 months (200-400g/day sometimes 600g) and its the best thing I tried. It helped me A LOT with my gastrointestinal problems (caused by antibiotics) and I think it reduced my bad breath too.

probably has... the only problem is it increases the acid in your mouth and increases risk for cavities. no big deal. i'd rather have tiny cavities than bb. fluoride toothpaste is probably preventing the ones i do have from getting any deeper.

But SIX within a year? That's incredible.

Are they all molar cavities?

They are all on the surface of my teeth. My teeth have a lot of grooves so matter how much I brush I can't seem to clean it well enough.

Freaking sucks. I'm just hoping that's the reason why I have bb. I remember my bb was at it's worse when I had a HUGE cavity in the very back tooth that I didn't get filled till like 3 months after the orthodontist found it while she was changing my braces.

Alright, well I got two fillings today. Spent 120 bucks already. Jeez.

Four more to go, and I have a periodontal evaluation for my gums surrounding my back tooth.

I noticed when I floss in just that one spot, I get a STRONG shit odor, and I can taste it when I suck on my back tooth throughout the day. I dunno if I'm sucking out drainage or the bacteria that seems to accumulate since it's covering my backtooth, but I'm going to get some tissue cut out so it's easier to floss. Hopefully my bb will be completely gone............God I hope so, because I'm SICK of spending so much money on my damn mouth.
