Hi,

I am 40, Male, 75Kg.
I recently visited a dentist and got my teeth checked. I have bad breath which I believe is due to multiple reasons(one of them is teeth). The status of my teeth is given below.
•     No sensitive teeth currently.
•     The place where the tooth joins the gum, tooth is eroded. Doctor said my gum needs to be massaged with an astringent and the tooth to be scaled(what exactly is meant by this?)
•     Doctor also said cleaning is needed every year at least.
•     I have false upper teeth which joins adjacent to original tooth. The joint of these two has become a problem zone now. Whtever I eat, goes inside get stuck here. it gives out foul smell. I started flossing which reduces the smell but still it does not go completely. Doctor said the only way is to keep flossing and keep it clean. But isn’t there a permanent fix available.
•     I bought Himalaya HiOra GA Gel as astringent. The contents(as per Himalaya are given below.
Jatiphala(Mysristics fragrans)
Arjuna (Terminalia arjuna)
Asana (Pterocarpus marsupium)
Triphala

They are asking to apply it on the gums and leave it. My concern is it tastes sweet(not sure of which ingredient causes it). Won’t it decay teeth further? Due to this doubt, I stopped using it.

Please help me by answering these.

Thanks&Regards,
Ashok
