I brush my teeth twice everyday and I brush my tongue. I know I dont have a disease or halitosis of any kind. what the hell is going on. like when I sit in class after I get to school it my mouth starts to get that funny taste after just an hour. Does anyone know what is going on. I already do chew gum and eat mints all the time. I dont want to do that forever though. I know plenty of people who have good breath withought a piece of gum in their mouth. thanks
I use mouthwash every night and every morning too

i had the same thing. i found out it was in my intestines. i had a poor digestive system so i started taking acidopholis and eating YO+ yogurt which helps the digestive system. also try going lactose free
Yes
well i’m not a doctor, but i think something is wrong.
you have to get checked by an orthodontist or dentist
Get your blood tested for metals.
go to a doctor then
LOL to Andy W. Just chew more gum.
Try mouth wash, very strong mouth wash you can get from your dentist.
If this doesn’t work what do you eat? Also make sure your toothpaste and toothbrush are new and are clean!
If you sweat alot it doens’t help either.
maybe. but the best mouthwash to use is antibacterial mouth wash. just try it, it really works. just gargle 3 times a day, or just brush ur teeth more often,.
Sometime tooth decay can cause this.
Try a different diet, less turd sandwiches for starters.
It might be the food you are eating and the reaction to the bacteria in your intestines.
How do you know its not halitosis? It sounds like it to me. Maybe you have gum disease. Go to a dentist.
I had the same thing. Not too good when I want to kiss the females.
I went to the dentist and got a periodontal maintenance. Heavy cleaning with gum cleaning. Now I am kissable. Do not forget to floss since you got food particles in between your teeth.
It could be your teeth or something with your stomach. Try brushing with baking soda or peroxide (diluted in water). Good Luck!
Go to your dentist, it very well could be gum disease. Even with all the care you are doing, you could be damaging your gums by over brushing or have a genetic disposition to it. Also, you could be dehydrated so drink more water.
lol this is this coincidence or what? i just watched the doctors and this guy was on it with bad breath! lol i know how to solve your problem. try breath rx!!! uhmm you spray the thing on your tongue. then you get the white plastic scraper and u scrap that stink off of your tongue and they said it was guaranteed to work! do not brush your tongue with your tooth brush cuz it will spread the germs.
instead get the tooth brush with the tongue scraper and just scrap your tongue. thats the problem. oh and he said that the mouth wash does not work that well..
lol sorry its really long but that will work!
Well chewing gum and sucking mints may work for the moment it doesn’t work once you stop. There are many things that can be affecting it. Your diet is a major factor. If you are putting many toxins in your body you will have many problems. I am sure this didn’t help at all but whatever i guess.
I would ask a doctor or dentist if it is really a problem. Even if you don’t have halitosis they might be able to give you a prescription for a stronger mouthwash. Also try not to eat smelly foods like garlic and brush your teeth after eating.
as long as your healthy because bad breath can be due to bad health or dental problems if you don’t have those and i do hope you don’t go to cvs or Walgreen’s and they have something called smart mouth it is a mouthwash use before bed and in the am it does work give it a try i bought some and it seems to do the trick
Today on the show The Doctor’s they talked about your problem. This is what they said:
Chronic bad breath
Ryan, 22, is embarrassed by his chronic bad breath, which is also called halitosis. His sister, Summer, exclaims, “It’s so bad you can smell it from two feet away!” Celebrity dentist Bill Dorfman explains that the key to eliminating bad breath is to kill the bacteria on the tongue. He discourages the use of mouthwash because its high alcohol content dries out the mouth and causes the bacteria to proliferate.
Dr. Dorfman demonstrates his three step treatment, BreathRx Fresh Breath System, which emphasizes scraping the tongue to eliminate the bacteria that causes the unwanted odor. Brandon is eager to get started!
I thought wikipedia had a lot of good info. I’d go to a doctor/dentist. Sounds like there could be something seriously wrong.
I’m sorry I don’t know the answer to your question or you could go see your doctor or go see your dentist, but about the gum thing yeah not a good idea to chew it all the time because it could cause cancer!!!! It has this acid stuff or I’m not sure but it does cause cancer if you chew it a lot and also when you chew gum you do know that your chewing rubber right? Sorry to break it to you!
I’m like the same way, i’ve prolly spent like over 500 dollars on gum, because if i don’t chew gum then my breath smells not so good.. so i totally know what you mean, so the only thing i can tell you is to ask a doctor or a dentist about it, i know it will prolly be embarrassing but they can give you special mouthwash and stuff to help. I’m going to the dentist in about a month, so i’m gonna talk to him about it. Hope I helped a little
Gum and mints will only make the problem worse because the sugars activate the bacteria that give you bad breath. The bacteria feast on sugar and starch and build tartar on your teeth and tongue. Try the Closys system. Walgreens/CVS pharmacy sell it. It is a toothpaste and mouthwash that is antimicrobial. My dentist started me on it, and since I started, my bf and family keep commenting on how fresh my breath is.
Very important, FLOSS. Twice a day. Bacteria and food in your teeth will cause bad breath.
Finally, brush your tongue.
I see a dentist twice a year, and my appointments never last more than 30 minutes because I follow this routine.
check with your doc to see if there is anything running in you family or some thing
Here is a link that may answer your question more easily.
My friend has the same problem. He says what you say but i don’t rele believe him (not saying i dont believe you). But maybe you have very bad sinuses, the flem from your respiratory system can sometimes rise up onto you throat and in ure saliva. Or you can have a fungai infection, or a decaying tooth. Who Knows. If you do have bad sinuses try to get some medicine for that and maybe that will help? Go to this website for more info. http://yourtotalhealth.ivillage.com/bad-breath-even-after-brushing.html
some common causes of chronic bad breath are:
1. not drinking enough water
2. coffee and/or cigarettes
3. ketosis/ ketoacidosis (from not eating enough or being diabetic)
If you overdo the sugar-free mints and gum, it could make your breath worse due to the reaction of the sugar alcohols in your stomach. These are the "fake" sweeteners and can cause stomach upset, gas pains, burping, and farting
Drink more water, dont smoke or drink coffee, and eat enough food. If this doesnt fix the problem, tell your doctor.
By the way, halitosis is not an illness. It is just a general medical term for bad breath of any cause.
floss. food gets stuck between your teeth and starts to stink. i have that problem too.
