Thank you Niran
I have copied it into my drafts and will forward it to anyone who complains of bad breath or that the mouthwash they use is ineffective.
Thanks for the lovely blog on Dentals.

Dear Dr,

Thanks for your suggestion and feedback.

I do not have bad odors but want to have my teeth cleaned as it is tainted and lot of build up is there. Our dentist advised to go for cleaning and he suggested to put a bleach cap for few hours and give a nice polish to that. Hearing the bleaching everything I am little sceptical. Is it really safe? How often cleaning can be done? Some say Cleaning often will lead to gums becoming loose, Is it so? Can you kindly clarify?

Thanx in advance.

Go for an antibacterial mouthwash instead of an alcohol-based as alcohol may cause dry mouth & irritation. Use it just before bedtime.
