Accepted Answer

Dentist: The condition of your teeth and gums needs to be assessed because dental problems can cause bad breath. Diet plays a role in bad breath too. Digestive problems also can cause halitosis (bad breath).  Regular tooth brushing and flossing helps. Tobacco and alcohol affect breath negatively.  Brush after all meals and snacks.  Avoid drinks with sugar between meals as well.

dr. adams(patch adams) feels the greatest sickness facing medicine is greed. what do you think?

Accepted Answer

Tough to answer in: Only 400 characters. Greed is too simple. Bureaucrats making up rules to justify their jobs. Insurance companies putting profit in front of patient's well being. Politicians using inflammatory statements just to get re-elected. Radio and tv reporting 1/2 truths for ratings. Lawyers hunting  for class action suits for huge wins. Lobbyests putting clients ahead of what's right. And i can go on.
