I’d like to ask about bad breath, crooked teeth, cosmetic dentistry, and other oral issues.

I’m Hikōki, a male member. Breath-odor dentistry is recommended for both men and women—even younger people. Clinics specializing in bad breath don’t treat teeth or gums. They might in extreme cases, but I’m not sure… So it’s a separate matter—on a different level—from cavities or periodontal disease. What Mac wrote is true, but people go to a bad-breath clinic after finishing those treatments. It addresses what comes next. Men who do papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) are really missing out if they don’t go. It’s that revolutionary. After visiting a bad-breath clinic: When men come within two meters, one meter, or pass by you inside a building, you’ll notice that most of them smell of body odor or bad breath. You become able to detect smells you never noticed before. Conversely, you’ll also be able to recognize pleasant scents from women, and even the scent of younger men. When entering a meeting room or reception room, you may even be able to tell from the smell what age group of people had been there, without consciously thinking about it. The main causes of bad breath are bacteria on the tongue and inside the mouth. Treatment focuses on improving those areas. Men over 40 need to realize that many women whose work involves dealing with men don’t even want to get close to a man’s face, let alone kiss him. I keep writing about bad breath because I want more men to be happy and fewer women to be unhappy—which will help the club thrive for the next ten years and beyond. P.S. I work in a field that relies on my sense of smell and taste, so I take care of my breath to keep those senses sharp. If that isn’t essential for your work or hobbies, it may not be necessary to go that far. That said, in papa-katsu, being able to distinguish subtle differences in taste can help you discover restaurants that impress women, and you’ll be less likely to have them dislike or refuse a kiss.

I’m Kazu, a male member. I haven’t been close enough to kiss a woman in her teens for several decades, so I can’t really say. But I have met women in their twenties who had noticeable bad breath. I don’t get as physically close to men as I do to women, but as you mentioned, I occasionally notice breath that seems to come from smoking and coffee. I get the impression that women are more likely than men to have breath caused by foods like garlic. But that’s probably simply because the only people I get close to are women. As for metal fillings, I’ve never met a woman through a dating club who had the kind of obvious metal fillings you might see in an elderly woman from the neighborhood, so it’s never really bothered me.
