Getting rid of bad breath?

Question

hi, this may seem gross but...

i seem to have constant bad breath. i brush my teeth/tounge minimally two times a day (usually three) and i see a dentist. i am a coffee drinker (so maybe this is the problem?), but other than that, i dont usually eat foods that would cause an odor.

i dont believe i have halitosis, but does anyone know of any good mouth washes or other products to eliminate or highly decrease bad breath? i use baking soda toothpaste already, but my boyfriend likes to tease me about it in the morning :)

Answer 1

u may try juices combinations of 1 cucumber, 1 leomon blend with honey to taste.Drink it for a week daily, prefer going to bed. inflammation of lungs or liver may causes bad breath.

cucumber cools down body temperature, lemon helps to heal the soreness and honey will allows the blood circulations. This recipe has helps me and my children overcome the awesome smell.

Answer 2

try to stop eating dog $hit or try to stop being like 2 chicks and a cup .com

Answer 3

in the morning right before school !

Answer 4

Answer 5

Ye babe drop the coffee ...

Chew gum more often everyday or take a mint/tic-tac .

Answer 6

Halitosis may come from the stomach as well--try an antacid, but more than anything FLOSS. It is just as important as brushing and can eliminate a great deal of your problem. Chew lots of gum to top off the freshness.

Answer 7

Eat mint chewing gum

Answer 8

well u should ask your dentist about it he/she should tell you about it or perscribe something for you (:

Answer 9

If you don't have haliotosis and none of your teeth are decaying (a decaying tooth stinks, you may not get pain depending on where the hole is, in some cases the first sign IS a smelly breath), and you are talking about morning breath only, read this... http://www.abc.net.au/science/articles/2...

It is by Dr. Karl (I can't spell his surname but he is Australia's most famous and beloved science geek who explains everything thouroughly in easy to understand wording) anyway, last xmas my daughter bought me his book, Botox, Bubbles and Bum Breath...  and the bum breath is about what causes morning breath and what kills it best.

Good Luck and tell your boyfriend EVERYONE has bum breath in the morning.

Answer 10

Answer 11

try going to the doctor cause i have heard of medicine that can help that. =)

Answer 12

ummmm I use Listerine although it is a tad too strong but it's alright and sometimes I use Macleans.

Answer 13

make sure you're brushing the gum line. if you bleed when you brush it shows that you haven't been./ thats where the bad breath hides. use mouth wash too. especially at night

Answer 14

Try using a less harsh mouthwash or something...

Answer 15

You may be dehydrated. When you are dehydrated, your mouth will become dry and bacteria spreads in a dry month which causes bad breath. The more saliva you have in your month, the less you will experience bad breath. So drink lots of water throughout the day.

Edit: Some people are telling you to chew gum. Chewing gum will wear down your enamel and won't fix your problem in the long term. You can't chew gum everywhere you go. And flossing will help if you don't floss already.

Answer 16

There is a great line of products from BreathRx. I've seen it at Target. Coffee could be a cause for the oder. Cut back and see if that helps. If you are using a mouthwash make sure it doesn't contain alchohol, like Listerine does. That can dry out your mouth and give you bad breath. Don't be embarressed to ask your dentist about it either. Don't just brush your tongue. Buy a tongue scraper and use it every time you brush. Happy brushing!!

Answer 17

make sure you brush after you drink you coffee  and it might help to floss and if you can handle it insted of mouth wash gargle or how every you spell it ... hydrogen proxide it kills germs like the ones that causes bad breath  then you could still use like crest mouth wash to take the proxide taste out and chew gum  mints and you can also buy the listerene pocket sprays and thay can really freshen your breath

hope that helps

Answer 18

since bad breath can be caused by different factors, you should be able to know first what is the underlying cause of your bad breath. note that bad breath treatments can depend on what is the cause of it.  

bad breath cause maybe lack of oral hygiene, dry mouth, smoking, alcohol, medications, sinus, eating garlicky meal, gum disease and other stomach related health illness.  

whatever the cause is, it is best that you consult a dentist to help you figure out the cause and to get the right treatment.  good oral hygiene is always important to keep the mouth healthy, clean and fresh like proper brushing and flossing.

Answer 19

When I brush my teeth I always floss, use mouth wash, then brush my teeth. Also, if you drink a lot of water, it will keep your mouth hydrated. A dry mouth is like a home for odor causing bacteria. When you chew gum, chew sugarless. You can also go to your dentist and ask about it. Hope I helped!
