Bad breath can often be the first sign of a disease. But how do doctors define bad breath and what are the major causes of bad breath?...

I had my back tooth removed this morning. The side of my face my lips and one side of my chin were frozen. It was done at around 10:30. It is now 3:30 and the side of my face is basiclaly unfrozen but the lips and side of chin are still frozen. Is that normal?

Thanks Smile
