my dad said hello to me nd said that i needed to brush my teeth– just looking out for me. i was chewing stride gum this morning, had pizza for lunch, and had doublemint gum about 2 hours later.
i can still taste the minty flavor… so does gum cause bad breath?

Stride is ok because it’s sugarfree, but DoubleMint is not sugar free, and it’s the sugar making your breath stink. It might make your breath minty for a little, but after the sugar takes effect…
It was probably the garlic in the pizza or you need to put like 2 gums in your mouth but its probably the garlic from the pizza.
i odubt gum makes ur breath smells bad for its was probably somthin strong in ur pizza
I thought gum makes you have better breath.
This is coming up A LOT lately – more than ever before in our history. First of all, when you brush, softly brush up above and below your teeth as well (YOUR GUMS) and then try hard not to gag but you need to brush your tongue, as far back as you can stand without throwing up.
I know it’s hard.
**IF THIS STUFF DOESN’T HELP, maybe you have tonsil stones?? Most people get them and cough them out (it’s a little off-white ball of gunk, about the size of a pencil eraser). But if you DONT cough them up they just stay back there in these little openings in your tonsils (called crypts) and STINK TO HIGH HEAVENS.
If the extra brushing doesn’t work and you want to check for tonsil stones, (also called tonsilloliths) get a mirror in front of your mouth, when you say "ahh" you may also have to push your tongue as far forward as possible to see if you have them trapped back there. They would be in the corners of your throat (right or left side).
There’s a whole website dedicated to this so don’t worry you’re not alone!
The sugar in the gum can cause bad breath. Stick to sugarless. My husband chews nicorette mint and I can’t stand his breath! It’s so strong I feel the mint in my throat!
Don’t think so.A few seeds of cardamom chewed for a brief while will clear your mouth of bad breath. Chew parsley leaves,which are sure to keep your breath fresh. More useful remedies at http://useinfo5.blogspot.com/
