I wish I could help, but I have no earthly idea.
I’m sort of glad that you asked the question here though, rather than in person ! ;-P
Have you been checked for diabetes and other diseases? Sometimes an illness can have bad breath as a side effect.
Could be what you are eating.
Are you flossing? Are you also brushing your tongue?
You need to floss as well. Bacteria that reside in between your teeth with contribute significantly to bad breath. Also brush your tongue after you finish with your teeth.
Have you tried brushing your tongue? Halitosis is usually due to the bacteria in your mouth. Maybe it is something specific your eating.
You didn’t tell us what the dentist said.
Best of luck
Brush your tongue. Thats wheere the bad breath comes from, try to get the food particles cleaned off and see if that helps
u should trt chewing mint gum like all the time
Yes, definately be checked for other illnesses. My guess is that is what’s up!
Good luck!
Chances are it is your diet, you are what you eat.
I have heard that an excess in stomach acid can cause halitosis. Have you been to the doctor??? Also, using a mouth wash with alcohol in it dries out the mouth further causing bad breath to start. Try using an alcohol free mouth wash.
Alot of the problem is not the teeth so much as it is the tongue and the bacteria that grows thereon. So I would try a tongue scrapper – you can use a spoon if you can’t find one somewhere – and scrape your tongue as far back as you can. Then mix hydrogen peroxide and water 50/50 and rinse with it well.
There is also the possibility that you have some other medical condition that produces this, so get yourself checked out by a doctor about that possibility.
Have your doctor test you for H. Pylori– it’s a bacteria that causes some stomach problems and has a really distinctive smell. A round of antibiotics and an antacid clears it up.
Don’t talk,lol, actually do you take any medication ,drugs, chemicals , I found out that creates a hallatosis also try brushing your tongue and use hydrogen peroxide and gargle , spit out though!
Your halitosis may be caused by a few things. Excess stomach acid can cause bad breath or you may have a yeast infection in your mouth.This can be cause by some medications especially if you use inhalers. If you have consulted a dentist and there are not any decayed teeth Then you may want to look into the above possibilities.Brushing and flossing are an important piece but there are other things you can do by eating fresh parsley which is a natural deodorant. You can also by supplements from the health food store that are natural for the breath there used to be one on the market called ends they are a green pill that is all natural and may help with your situation. Good Luck
Stop breathing
I was having the same problem myself, & I agree with the others who’ve stated check on other physical ailments such as stomach acid, etc. I ended up having a sinus infection that wasn’t showing any other symptoms than horrible breath! Took an antibiotic presecription for 14 days & that was the end of it.
