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?...

Q: Broken Teeth - a Big Problem?

Last night I broke off about 1/4 of both of my front teeth (i don't know how, and I don't have any of the pieces which came off).

I can't seek proper medical assistance (visit a dentist or equivalent) for a few days at least, so my smashed up teeth are just gonna sit in my mouth until I do.

What's the worst thing that's likely to happen as a result of this? Do you reckon i'll need them removed completely? Can I die from infection or anything?
