I can’t really chew gum and I get very bad breath so how can I keep my breath fresh with Invisalign braces? I already brush, floss, and rinse twice a day.

I got my wisdom teeth removed Thursday. It is now Tuesday, the pain has gone away for the most part but now I am dealing with bad breath. I had all 4 taken out, the top two were out of the gums, so I have holes where I get food stuck but its a lot easier to clean cause I can reach it with my tongue and a q-tip.

However, my bottom ones had to be cut into, I can barely even see the hole. If I spread my cheeks wide enough, I can see some red where I believe the incision was made.

How do I deal with this bad breath? How do I clean my holes? Will I have to worry about this until the holes fill up?

Also, I noticed that all the stitches dissolved Monday night, which is 4 days after the operation. Is this normal?
It is very hard to clean the bottom holes especially since I barely can even see the holes, I can’t really get my tooth brush back there and I don’t know if food is stuck there.

I brush my teeth once at night with a mouth wash and once in the morning after I get out of bed. Every other nights, I use water pik substituting for floss, but I use mouth wash every night and use the tongue cleaner every night as well. How can I get rid of bad breath? Any tips? Please explain.

Over the past few days my husband has had really bad breath and it was really bad especially over the weekend. I could smell it from his breath and when he breathed through his nose. He tried rinsing his mouth with mouthwash and of course he brushed his teeth several times. He also tried lemon water and his breath still smelled funky. What would cause really bad breath and what can he do to get rid of the bad breath?

Although no one has complained, I feel I have bad breath. I always have a bad taste in my mouth especially a while after I brush my teeth even! When I wake up in the morning is when I feel it the worst. (Or is it Worse?..lol) anyway, save yourself the “clean your teeth” speech. I do brush at least twice a day but religiously before I go to bed and after I wake up. What is it? What other remedies are there? I am tired of chewing gum 24/7.. I have not tried the tongue cleaning tools. I don’t want to eat lemon. My teeth are bad enough. Any home remedies? Anything I am not aware of? Surprise me! I’ve done it all. What is next? gargle Ajax? HELP

Without hurting someone’s feelings or being too direct, how can you let someone know that they have bad breath?

My teacher has bad breath and so does the girl next to me.

I have thought of offering them mints, but even that may be a bit direct.
Any suggestions?

I brush my teeth when I should, but I always have bad breath. I know a girl who has it and it is a BIG turn off so are there any products, home remedies, or any other tips! Thanks!

Even after brushing your teeth thoroughly, not smoke, no drinking, is there anyway of avoiding bad breath and dry mouth first thing in the morning? Mouth wash is meant to make it worse as it dries out your mouth and causes the bad smells right? So what’s the solution?
Problem is just mornings. Fine throughout day. Brush my tongue and everything.
I floss like mad and spend 5mins brushing my teeth AND tongue everynight.

I have bad breath sometimes, and I’m afraid that I would breathe on someone. What are some good tips to keep bad breath away for several hours at a time?

My breath is really bad almost all the time.

I brush my teeth regularly and I also brush my tounge and I floss. I can’t seem to get rid of really bad breath though.

And don’t say chew gum or eat mints, cause that just temporarily masks the breath. I need something that will get rid of bad breath!
Oh yea, I did forget to mention it, but I do use mouthwash!
