Help - smelly breath??????

Question

I have recently developed a case of bad breath. I also have a white/yelow furry blanket on my tongue. What causes such like and what can i do to freshen up?

Answer 1

Check with your dentist that there is no under-lying gum infections first.

You have to clean your tongue as well as your teeth.  You can get brushes especially for this from local supermarkets or pharmacies.  Use a good mouthwash after brushing (with no alcohol), which gives good protection against bacteria and plaque.  

Sugar free mints or gum are good for a quick freshen up during the day when brushing isn't an option.  Or after meals, eat a small piece of fresh parsley.  

Eating a healthy balanced diet and avoiding caffeinated drinks, alcohol, spicy food or smoking will help too.

Good luck.

eliminate bad breath by controlling bad bacteria in the mouth is important as well as to regain self-confidence and never to become embarrassed about your breath again.

bad breath is caused by dirty mouth. that is why it always vital to keep breath as fresh as always using all natural oral care product that have no alcohol content. use all natural oral care that contains only essential oils that can help fight the cause of bad breath. since bad breath may also be triggered by the foods you eat; simply cut down the foods that can make bad breath problems like garlicky meals.

Answer 7

Brush your teeth 2-3 times daily and your tongue. Don't forget to floss between your teeth and buy a mouth wash..

Answer 8

brush your tongue, because the white on your tongue is what causes the smell. also i personally find that chrysanthemum tea is the best "way to take care of breath" in the morning.

plus its so good :P

Answer 9

Hey, as well as the usual brushing, and flossing (very important to get rid of tiny food particles which can build up and start to stink!) you should take a look at the types of foods you are eating. See if you notice a pattern between what you eat and how your breath is. Drinking alot of coffee, and alcohol, as well as eating certain foods eg. carbohydrates, have been known to cause bad breath.

If this doesnt help, ask a dentist!!

Answer 10

brush your tongue, brush your teeth regularly and dont eat foods which are unhealthy. plus eat lots of fibre so you go to the toliet often

Answer 11

Bad breath is caused by the build up of plaque and bacteria in the mouth so it is important to brush your teeth at least twice a day. Brush all sides of the teeth and brush for at least 3 minutes. Brush your tongue at the end until any white on the tongue is scrubbed off. Rinse your mouth thoroughly with a mint mouthwash and floss in between your teeth. Throughout the day carry a minty spray to keep your fresh smelling breathe. Also, try to avoid garlic foods or any strong smelling foods.  

Answer 12
