Cavities, Bad Breath and Other Embarrassing Topics

Bad breath can ruin a first date, embarrass you in front of your friends, or have other unwanted consequences, and although everybody suffers from bad breath, no one seems to want to talk about it. Cavities often seem to be in the same category. Hi! My name is Josie, and I have struggled with cavities and bad breath in the past. I've even had unsightly ulcers between my gums and teeth.
