Whenever I wake up in the morning, I always have this white stuff all over my tongue, phlegm in my throat, and extremely bad breath. It’s so bad, that when I go down for breakfast, my parents scream at me to brush my teeth. I brush once a day, which is every morning. I don’t eat a lot. I don’t usually floss. My teeth are straight and semi-white. But I use Listerine mouthwash with no alcohol, and a minute or two after using the mouthwash, gargling the phlegm out, brushing my teeth, and my whole tongue, I get really bad morning breath again. Sometimes I chew gum and I even have to secretly during class or it’s really embarrassing, and a few minutes after I spit it out, the bad breath takes over. People haven’t been talking to me lately, and I can smell/taste it. I also have these bumps which are the same color as my tongue, and they’re all the way in the back.

What is this? I’ve had an infection a few years ago, had to get a tooth pulled, and my gum was like a small ball and I had the worst breath, and the bad breath seems to have come back. I’ve had these bumps for a few months now, and the breath came with them.
Oh, and I got my tonsils taken out when I was young.

No matter how often I brush his teeth, he still has bad breath, any suggestion?

Best gum and breath mints, kills bad breath,long lasting?

Right, i bought the orabrush like 3 weeks ago, and i thought it wasnt going to work, but after 3 weeks of brushing my tongue, ITS WORKING!!!!!! and my breath is improveing little by little.. and now ive started flossing and using one of those wire things with brushes and its starting to go.. like, not totally, but a huge improvement in the colour of my tongue, (it looks a tad more pink now).

btw, i dont represent orabrush or anything, i am just telling you this because it actually does work!

HOPE I HELPED.<3

I have always noticed people with traditional braces have SUPER bad breath! I am getting braces put on in two weeks and don’t want this to happen to me! Why do people with braces seem to naturally have bad breath and how do you ‘cure’ it?

i do everything i could think of to prevent bad breath. for ex- i brush my teeth twice a day, use mouth wash at LEAST twice a day, and chew mint gum whenever i get a chance, yet my bf says that my breath smells like "helium or something, it has for 11 months" he said he notices it more when im on my period, but how would they relate? PLEASE HELP!. anymore suggestions?
i also brush my tounge and sometimes the inside of my cheeks

I have tonsil stones and I believe this causes me to have bad breath (not too sure if it is bad but it often doesn’t taste nice). Anyway, what could I do to remove these and does my bad-tasting mouth definitely mean I have bad breath?

Would rinsing/gargling with baking soda/powder help cure bad breath and maybe dislodge the tonsil stones?

and yes, I brush my teeth twice a day, sometimes floss and clean my tongue.

Thanks in advanced.

I have these horrible, disgusting, rancid, foul smelling, tonsil stones. I already have severe depression and anxiety and these make it worse. I can never have a boyfriend because they don’t want to smell these things on my breath. I actually never had a boyfriend and I’m not ugly it’s just these horrible things turn people off. I obsess about them constantly and they are constantly coming out of these holes in my tonsils. Sometimes I want to end my life cause of them. They are causing me to not have any friends in life. My doctor refused to remove my tonsils to get rid of them and that is the only way to get rid of them I heard. I tried everything they said to get rid of them. I floss after every meal, use thera breath mouthwash, brush my teeth after every meal, brush my toungue after every meal. I make sure my mouth is rinsed out before bed and I gargle. I never had sinuses or a runny nose so it’s not from that. I want my nasty ugly tonsils out and every doctor refuses to do it. Isn’t this considered refusal of treatment. Don’t I have a right to treatment. I thought doctors have to help people to be healthy and cure them. I know some adults said they had their tonsils removed because of them well why won’t they remove my adult tonsils? Can I sue them for not treating me and refusing to treat me. What if I comitted suicide cause of the tonsil stones? Would the doctor be the cause of my suicide from neglect to treat the tonsil stones? I cry everyday cause of them. Please someone help I want to kill myself right now cause of this horrible disease. Please answer my questions I know I have a lot of questions in here and I’m sorry about that but I just feel lost and hopeless cause it seems like there is no hope for this situation. I need quality of life and doctors are suppose to do that. I feel so hurt and betrayed by doctors. I need to deperately get rid of these nasty smelly things quick or I will commit suicide. It seems like suicide is the only way to get rid of them right now. Thanks to anyone that reads this long paragraph.
@Mike the doctor did say it is risky to remove tonsils and that there is a lot of bleeding and pain involved but I just want them rid of. Also it might be because I have medicaid and they don’t want to bother cause medicaid won’t pay to remove tonsils and I don’t have any money to pay. I just don’t know how else to get rid of them and the smell sickens me in my stomach and my mouth always has a nasty taste in it with a feeling of hairs stuck in my throat cause of the tonsil stones. It affects my ability to taste food good also. I have an extremely sensitive gag reflux and I gag all the time because of them. It’s really uncomfortable and I’ve been suffering with them for years.
@Lexa If they are not tonsil stones then what are they. The doctor said this is what they are. What do you mean tonsils can’t have stones? Type in Tonsil stones and you will see they are real and can cause pain and discomfort. This is a medical condition. The medical term for it is Tonsilliloth.
@axhot it is a medical condition and they won’t cure it for me. The correct medical term for it is called Tonsilliloth. These tonsil stones give me great discomfort and cause me some ear and throat pain sometimes. Aren’t the doctors required to fix this? Why should I have to live with pain and discomfort?
@Lexa also I wouldn’t think this is healthy functioning tonsils I have when I have these nasty smelly things. They are greenish yellow and smell really bad and I can see them sticking out of my tonsils. They are, in FACT, the main reason for people with bad breath that they can never get rid of. Type in Tonsilliloth in google and you will see many stories on how nasty these things are. They scare me and I have a bad heart. I can’t get bacteria into my bloodstream and If one of these nasty bacterial smelling things gets into my bloodstream I could die. I had a hole in my heart and have to take antibiotics every time I go to the dentist. What will happen if one of these bacteria balls gets into my blood? I’m scared
@Merdacio no I think you are the troll and you know it. You go and google tonsil stones and tonsilliloth and you will see it is a real medical condition. I’m not dellusional. Many people have this and a doctor diagnosed me with this, duh. You are trolling trying to get an easy way to have high points on here and you probably have different accounts on here. This is my only account on here.

My beloved Dad has severe bad breath that has affected his social life and his wonderful friendliness. Getting him to drink more water and obtain better oral hygiene is like pulling teeth. No pun intended. :~D He has a Dentist’s appointment in a few weeks, however, I was wondering what he could do in the meantime. Thank you so much and you rock!
