Saliva
This is an old problem and one I forgot to ask my dentist about just recently:
A few years ago my old dentist said I had higher levels of calculus (calcium?) in my saliva than usual. I have no probs with my teeth at all, I'm lucky, no fillings, no more tartar than usual, but lots of calculus. I eamnt to ask, does calculus have a smell, because my saliva does have an unusual smell. Or at least, when I sneeze of after I lick my fingers I can smell it.
You can't smell it after brushing or when Ive recently eaten or drunk something. It makes more erm... intimate encounters with people a little more stressful as I always worry they can smell it too. Its not too offensive, kind of a metallic smell.
What is this?
Ps dentists are EXTREMELY expensive to go and see, even for a general check with the hygeinist before your real appointment, so a return trip is not really an option unitl its time for my next check up.
Thanks
