Answer 2

I have God awful breath and all the usual doesn't work.  Now, we've known that I've had a fungal issue which we also can't resolve.  Then, recently, I had a bad reaction after an amalgam filling was drilled and I researched mercury poisoning.  It seems that the fungus wont' cure until after the mercury is.  Both conditions can cause very bad breath.  You can have your doctor check you for both conditions but they may not want to as they are both controversial issues.  I would suggest to compare symptoms to both conditions and present this to your doctor and ask to be evaluated for both.  

I'm working on that theory for myself right now.

God bless and Good luck  \\

Answer 3

I had bad breath for a while.  It was driving me nuts.  I was brushing my teeth like crazy, avoiding "smelly foods," gargling, using special toothpaste and washes.  I was so frustrated b/c my bf was saying, it still stinks.  Turns out it was the fish oil vitamin I was taking.  Fish Oil is good for you, but in that form, it wasn't worth the stink!!!

Periodontal disease can cause a person to have bad breath. You can brush floss and use mouthwash all you want but it doesn't help. Basically either your gums are infected or it can be genetically pass down to you. It is treatable a dentist has to clean under your teeth. You'd have to have regular cleaning every three months.
