Tooth and Mouth Problems
Chronic Bad breath
I’ve had chronic bad breath for over 10 years. I notice a persistent white coating mainly on the back of my tongue, which returns quickly even after cleaning. The smell is strong, sometimes fecal or metallic, and does not improve with brushing, mouthwash, or mints. I’ve already been tested for Helicobacter pylori and other gut issues, and results were negative. I would like evaluation for posterior tongue biofilm and anaerobic bacteria, and guidance on proper treatment.
• It’s worse in the morning
• Water gives only temporary relief
• Coating is mainly at the back of tongue
• Halitosis (oral cause)
• Tongue coating / bacterial biofilm
• Gum disease (even mild)
• Tonsil stones (hidden cause sometimes)
• Dry mouth
Tip (important)
Ask specifically if they can:
• Do a tongue scraping + bacterial assessment
• Suggest antibacterial treatment (like chlorhexidine or zinc-based rinses)
• Check if you need a tongue microbiome

Black mole in cheek tounge ulcer
Dear Sir/Mam,
I am 32 year old. I have habit of gutkha chewing. A dark, mole-like spot has appeared on the inner side of my right cheek. It causes neither pain nor a burning sensation. It has been there for about 2–3 days. I noticed it while I was examining a blister on my tongue. The blister causes slight pain, and this is the second time in the last 10 days that a blister has appeared at this exact same spot. One had occurred at this location just 4–5 days ago as well, and at that time, it healed on its own. I don't have any kind of burning sensation in mouth. I have Tess ointment. Can I apply Tess on ulcer and mole. Otherwise kindly suggest a treatment for both this spot and the blister?

Overcrowded teeths, black stains
I am seeking a professional opinion regarding several oral health concerns. Despite brushing twice daily, I have persistent black stains and significant tartar buildup, particularly around my lower teeth.
I also have severely overcrowded teeth and a misaligned bite, which makes it difficult to clean certain areas effectively.
I have been hesitant to visit a dentist due to embarrassment over the staining, but I am now committed to addressing these issues. I have attached photos for your reference.
