Bad breath
I have been having bad breath problem for a long time now.
I am unable to understand the root cause of it.
I have sinus, post nasal drip and adding to all that, I have noticed that ever since I've gotten rid of my correcting braces, I have bleeding gums in the morning.
The bad breath has caused me to become highly conscious and I am unable to talk freely.
Kindly help.
