I want to crawl under a rock?

Question

I've been a bad breath sufferer for years. It's gotten to the point that I rarely talk to people, and I'm already shy and introverted anyone. My mom says it doesn't smell but she always lies to me about lots of stuff and it's annoying. I've had people even do the gum thing. My own family did this. One time I was getting ready to be church server and the one of the priest walked up to me with others watching and put a stick of gum in his mouth. My only boyfriend...ex now. Told me I had a distinct odor in my mouth but after dental work it was gone.

We went back and forth on it and he said yes it did not smell, and I've had a dental hygientist tell me she couldn't smell anything. Then why does my extended fam still do the gum thing and make fun of me. Even after my ex said that he'd still do the gum thing. The other day the another hygienist told me I needed to floss, brush my teeth at night and brush my tongue=(

I just want to crawl under a rock. I feel bad. I wish my breath didn't stink. Why are people so harsh on me? Everyone will remember/think of me as "the bad breath sufferer" What do you think about this?

Answer 1

well...thats sad but have a mint once a day and that might help

Answer 2

all dental hygienist tell u to brush, floss, and scrape/brush your tongue. It is their job, especially if you admitted to  being self conscious about it. Are your teeth rotting? that and halitosis cause bad breath and if u had them, the dentist would tell you.

  your family is teasing you. people chew gum. don't take it personally. Everyone has not perfect breath sometimes, it doesn't mean you always have it. it the dentist didn't smell anything, and they have to be honest. if your that self conscious, brush floss and use mints, gum looks tacky. get a second opinion, sometimes a smell has nothing to to with the mouth but inside your body when you breathe out. good luck. stop caring so much.

Answer 3

It mat not be your teeth. It may be internal. What I think is a wonderful option is to drink apple cider vinegar. It targets any toxins in the liver. Drunk three times a day (the first week) in a glass of warm water, one teaspoon you will not only see improvments in your breath, you will feel lighter, digestion will improve, but your skin will look clearer and fresher.

The next week just drink two glasses. Make sure your first one is in the morning.

Also, drink water in general. And avoid fast foods, take away c**p, that toxicates your liver. Eat greens too. If you want, you can chew mint leaves- the really do work quite well.

Brushing and flossing os of course important too.

Change your brush every month, change the brand of toothpaste one you finish one tube regularly, but always make sure it has baking soda! ALWAYS!!! Because that eats up bad breath. You can even add a bit of the soda onto your brush or in your mouthwash if you feel you really need to. Always change the form and brand of products after you finish if you have problematic teeth, even hair, skin, make up problems... It really helps.

Answer 4

I think that sucks so bad that I actually don't feel so bad about my life anymore.

And I'm sorry.  I don't know what to tell you.  Maybe they are just being *****?  Maybe you should carry around some of those listerine square things with you, they seem to be quite effective.

Answer 5

Aw I'm sorry :(

Have you ever tried a tongue scraper?

It's a strip of plastic with jagged edges that you run across your tongue. It removes a lot of nasty junk. I use it and it helps A LOT with bad breath. You should try it if you haven't already. Also, another thing that helps is this mouthwash called CloSys (http://www.dentist.net/images/closys-rin... It kills bacteria and if you use it for like a week, you even wake up with fresh breath! No more morning breath! Yay! Well I hope this helps :)
