Bad Breath?

I brush my teeth twice a day and sometimes 3 times a day. I brush my tongue twice a day but I still have breath that isn’t all that pleasing. When I touch my tongue with my finger and smell it it smells bad. What is causing this bad breath and what can I do to fix it?

Sometimes it has to do with your stomach like gas or acids. You should try Breath RX Its sold at Walgreen’s for like $10.00
you probably have gingivitus…they have special mouth wash for that….over the counter.
Origin of bad breath is not only from teeth and mouth, it canhave many places where the bad breath is coming from, gums, nose, lungs, stomach.
You might be dehydrated. Try drinking 50-70 oz everyday. I have also heard that mixing a little lemon juice in the water can help. You might also need to scrape your tongue. They make a neat little device just for that job! Hope this helps.
get yourself some G-U-M=FRESH-R breath gel=it comes in a tube ,so you can carry it around with you =it really works good
Make sure you floss everyday, twice daily if possible, because a LOT of the bacteria is hidden in your gums, you can even smell it on the floss afterwards, totally gross right???
Also studies suggest that eating strawberries can reduce the multiplication of bacteria in your mouth, so try that out.
Good luck with it!!, let me know how you get on!, if you have braces use oral b superfloss, or a similar brace flossing product.
My Mom always told me to brush my teeth after a meal and not when you first get uo in the morning. In your case I do not know what the problem is, could it be garlic, onions or curry.? If my suggestion does not work see you dentist or doctor.
If you think it makes your finger smell bad, try licking your elbow. Oh wait, if you can do that, the girls will forgive the slight smell.
I am a Dental Hygienist. Do you use your dental floss daily? Plaque that is in between your teeth is filled with bacteria. Bacteria is the reason for bad breath.
Do you have any stomach or digestive problems? This can also emit an odor.
you got holitosis just playing but you might so ask your denrtist if you might have gigivitis bcuz that might be whts causig it!
I have that problem sometime too. I think it can be what we eat sometimes. I haven’t figured out which foods causes it, but that’s the only thing I can think of. Well, another time is when I don’t eat. Now that can get gross. Maybe it’s something we need to ask our dentist.
if you have bad breath and you brush 3 times a day and still doesnt work it usually means there are spots you are not getting
You cheeks
The inside of your cheeks you should brush becuase it is still inside your mouth. It doesnt have to be a major brush just to get some bad tastes out of your mouth
Your tongue
you should brush your tongue and expecially the back of you tongue. This is because this it gets all the backteria out of you tongue.
Mouthwash
After you brush your teeth you should rinse with a mouthwash. Not only does it get rid of bad breath it can give you less chance of gum disese or anything bad in your mouth. You can only do this once a day if you want
Floss
Even if you cant see anything in between your teeth there could still be somthing there. At first it might hurt or your gums might bleed but its ok that mean it needed flossing or you havent flossed in a while. You can floss once a day. Remeber even if you have braces you can floss
