  You may experience some amount of headache since you are getting more than one of your tooth removed the same day. But these will most probably go away and you will never really have to deal with them ever again. Besides, the doctor will give you something to help you deal with the pain. Try to sleep with more than one pillow under your head so that your mouth remains propped up. Lots of ice cream for four extracted teeth can help you feel a lot better. Avoid having hot soup and other edibles of such high temperatures as they can harm and hurt the part of the mouth from where the teeth have been extracted.

- Q. This is a very embarrassing situation. I am 21 and I go to college everyday and meet people and go to parties and places, and amidst all of this I have a bad breath. One cannot imagine how I manage to hide my septic tank of a mouth from people. I have tried a lot of different toothpastes and what not. Please tell me how can I get rid of my bad breath!

  In the days of yore, home remedies like rinsing with white wine, anise seed, and myrrh, mouthwash of sage, cinnamon, juniper seeds, root of cypress, and rosemary leaves were used to get rid of bad breath. In additon to these time-tested remedies, there are many thigs that one can do to treat bad breath.
  
  Sometimes figuring out the cause of bad breath is the step for the treatment. Try to be regular on your dental health regimen. Brush thoroughly at least twice a day, and floss daily. Bacteria left on your tongue can contribute to less-than-fresh breath, clean your tongue.
  
  The food choices too have an impact on our breath. Avoid potent foods such as garlic and onions, among other foods, contain sulfur compounds that move on to the lungs after they are absorbed in the bloodstream.

  Hi, you can also carry a mouth wash along and use it after eating foods that make your breath smell bad, such as fish products, milk, and meat. Also, avoid having too much coffee at work as it makes your breath to go bad. This has worked for me.

  When you get braces, your mouth can be sore for a few days. Also, your mouth could be sore when the braces are adjusted. However, with modern braces, you really shouldn't notice them, except when the braces are tightened.
