Accepted Answer

Mold treatment: It is not clear that you are ill from an infection with a mold or not. If you have a respiratory infection caused by a mold that is quite unusual and it usually occurs in people whose immune systems are seriously damaged. See a good doc and get an accurate diagnosis before treatment. As to your car, speak to a good mechanic. I treat humans!

Meticulous homecare: Consider an rechargeable (not cheap battery) electric toothbrush such oral b or sonicare.  Ask the hygienist or dentist to show you how to precisely use it.  Correctly use floss twice daily, use stimudents or rotapoints, watch your diet (eat well), get a good amount of sleep, reduce stress ; see your dentist 3-4 (or more) times per year for a thorough cleaning.
