Q: I am 22year old male. About 5 years ago I met with an accident and my front tooth of the upper jaw had broken. After a few days the pain stopped. I forgot about the tooth, but now the colour has become blackish and it also looks bad. Rest of the jaw is fine but all the lower teeth are fixed in a very wrong order and collectively they look very bad. The main problem I am facing now is how to clean them with brush? Please suggest me some cleaner or medicine for my teeth (specialy a strong cleaner).
A:The upper tooth which is discolored needs treatment. For cleaning teeth properly you must floss your teeth once a day in addition to brushing twice a day.
