I always have a problem with bad breath. And I always keep my teeth brushed, and I pay lots of attention to my tongue(i scrub it too). And I still feel like i have bad breath, even after I brush. My boyfriend doesn’t complain about it being bad or anything, but it just bothers me. Anybody have a suggestion?

I have a problem with my breath. I brush my teeth 2 times a day with white Colgate toothpaste. I brush everywhere, even my tongue and the back of it, and the roof of my mouth and the back of it. Then I use Listerine mouth wash for 30 seconds, then I put Listerine strips in my mouth. About 5 minutes later, my bad breath comes back, how can I keep my breath from smelling bad.

I have been experiencing bad breath,even though I see my dentist every 6 months and brush my teeth and clean my tongue and floss daily! I dont have any medical condition and I am in perfect help. Yes I am a smoker,but I have seen many other smokers without bad breath.
Could anyne please tell me if there is a specific kind of mouthwash that I can use to help with my bad breath? It is really making me depressed.
Thank you for your help.

I have something wrong with one of my teeth. I have a small gap in my enamel at the top of one of my upper back teeth, At first I thought it was just the receding gumline, but after poking at it with my tongue for a while its become sensitive to touch and brushing. It is not brown (as far as I can tell),so I’m not sure if its a cavity. and exposed nerve tissue, or root rot. Does anyone have any idea what this may be? And if there’s anything I can do? I can currently brushing with sensodine pronamel and chewing trident gum.

I have nasal drip, no matter how much i rinse with listerine, brush my teeth I get bad breath. Chewing gum helps but I can’t chew it all the time.
I rinse with listerine, brush my teeth, brush my tongue.

shortly after I brush away all the crap in my mouth, my mouth dries up and starts reeking.

I brush my teeth everyday twice a day and I brush my tongue too. I floss regularly. I use mouthwash. I use mints and gum. My bad breath doesn’t go away!!! Even when I put like 3 mints in my mouth at once, the bad breath only goes away for like 5 minutes? What do I do?

hi, i actually just got my wisdom teeth out today! it wasnt as bad as i thought too. b/f going into it, the thing i worried about most was anesthesia as i have never been put to sleep before/dont know what it’s like, but it happened so quick, so i’m fine. when i got home my cheeks were puffy and it was hard to eat even soft foods. my tongue felt like it was huge and heavy. then i put on ice packs for a few hours and the puffy cheeks went away. my mouth right now feels funny, but not extremely painful. and it is a little bit easier, but not easy, to eat. so i have a question for you that have had wisdom teeth extractions and remember a day by day thing. how many days after the first day will the pain last? does it get any worse than the first day? does it become easier to eat/brush your teeth? can someone, preferably a dentist or dental assistant or such, please tell me. thanks

I usually take a high carb weight gain shake after the gym. I find it’s giving me bad breath. It feels like my tongue has something sweet on it. How do I prevent this from happening without the obvious answer of stop taking the supplement.

I do not know what is causing this gross taste in my mouth. It is bitter, a little tingly, tastes so bad, and makes my breath smell putrid. I am brushing my teeth 3 times or more a day and I gargle with a non-alcoholic mouthwash. Listerine does not work. The taste comes back quickly after brushing and scraping my tongue.

This has been going on for the past two weeks!! I haven’t been eating differently. I have had some constipation and, sorry, diarrhea, but that can’t be it!! I’ve had those before with no stinky breath and bitter mouth problems! What could it be?

How can you tell if bad breath is coming from either the stomach, tongue, teeth or gums?

My dentist says that my teeth and gums are fine, but my gums are a really dull colour and after i eat something sugary, i feel the plaque on my teeth.
I get bad breath all the time. even after brushing my teeth and tongue, flossing and using mouthwash.

I hope you can help me solving my problem. I have halitosis, I’ve been suffering this since high school. It started when I was 14 years old.. But before that happen, I’m top achiever in class. My parents are really proud of me..After two years,,my halitosis appeared. It really destroyed my life. I even tried to commit suicide so many times.. I become deteriorated until now, I always do oral hygiene perfectly.. Odor doesn’t disappear, even if I brush and floss my teeth and scrape my tongue a million times. That is why I always eat menthol candy, but it didn’t help.When I wake up early in the morning, I always have this odorous saliva in my mouth. and i noticed also that there something dripping at the back of my nose, a clear phlegm. Please help me…Thanks

I suffered from bad breath for a long time now. I brush, floss, clean my tongue with a scaper and risre with mouthwash every meals, but the smell still there. Every morning I drank a cup of coffee and drink water often. I seem to be eathing healthy. How do I get rid of my bad breath?

No matter how many times I brush her teeth or how long, in minutes after brushing stills lingers the smell of bad breath. I know bad breath is caused by bacteria and I have been told by some to brush her tongue, but I heard that could brush off taste buds too and could be a bad thing. I can’t think of anything in her food that could be causing this. She is a nibbler. She won’t finish a full meal but will nibble constantly throughout the day.
Ok I appreciate everyone who could answer my question in a civilized and respectful manner, but I still cannot believe how many of you are just flat out rude and seem to have no clue so you just make things up to assume! Like the stupidity of telling me to quit feeding my daughter onions. Nobody in my house eats onions. None of us like them. Second, whoever said it was rotting teeth, Umm, my daughter’s teeth have been checked out and they are perfect so I’m told. Anyway, thanks to those of you who were decent human beings in your answer.

I had a tooth pulled on the 2nd and everything is fine. And I have a white area that is surronding my tooth extraction site which is normal. I was told that i should not touch this area with my tongue or finger.I was wondering if anyone knew why?

I have excellent oral hygiene. I brush two to three times a day, I floss almost daily and I always brush my tongue and gargle with baking soda. I only have two fillings and my teeth and nice and white, gums are nice and pink. My teeth NEVER bleed when I brush or floss them. But I have noticed that two of my teeth (the two sharpish ones at the bottom/front of my mouth) seem to be receding at the gumline. The one on the left is slightly worse than the other one. Why could have caused this? I thought this only happened to people who don’t brush or floss their teeth.

I have bad odar breath everyday i dont know why. I brush my teeth 3 times, my gum, my, tongue, and my teeth, it helps alittle but then the smell just comes back. Please help. And i never talk in school cause of it or anywhere. Please help me thank you

I experience a metallic taste in my mouth 24/7 and when im in small spaces I can actually smell my own breath its that bad. Even when I breath out of my nose it gives off a bad smell. I have a white coating on my tongue which I think might be the problem and sometimes cough up wee white lumps from my tonsils.

Ive been to my doctors and dentist several times regarding this and they have treated me for oral thrust and give me antiboitics but nothing has worked and they dont know what it is. Its affecting my work and social life.

Has anyone ever experienced this problem and if you can you please give me some advise.

I’ve suffering with bad breath for the last 10 years. i had my tonsils removed. i’ve tried everything. i went to a ear, nose, and throat specialist and a dentist. All these efforts are in vain. The worse thing his i always have some stinky white stuffs on my tongue. what else should i do

I have a friend who has been complaining aobut his breath lately. He says that he brushes his teeth really good and scrubs his tongue with a wash cloth and it helps for a while but the bad breath comes back. He has used almost every toothpaste & mouthwash that is designed to fight bad breath but still no luck. Can anybody help

I brush my teeth twice a day and sometimes 3 times a day. I brush my tongue twice a day but I still have breath that isn’t all that pleasing. When I touch my tongue with my finger and smell it it smells bad. What is causing this bad breath and what can I do to fix it?

I recently quit my job because my breath was so bad. People would back up and stare at my mouth. I’ve been to, two different dentist. They both say I have healthy teeth. I floss after every meal. I brush my teeth 3 times a day. I brush my tongue. I have a strict diet no spices no garlic. How can I control my bad breath, it’s ruinning my life?

I have had bad breath for awhile. I brush, floss, and use mouthwash. As a matter of fact, the hygenist always says how clean my teeth are. I brush my tongue but I still have a smelly coating what can I get? Thanks!

I am 13 and I brush my teeth EVERYDAY, TWICE a day. Please Help!!! I have no idea what is wrong! I noticed up close int eh mirror today after brushing my teeth that the gums below my side molars are receding! I am also done losing teeth, so that couldn’t be a cause. Could it be from tongue kissing? Just a thought. I don’t know how they would relate, though. Please Help!!!!!!! I don’t wanna be toothless by the time i’m 14!

I do wash my teeth and scrub my tongue, but a few minutes later, people start complaining about my bad breath. My parents say it’s probably because I haven’t eaten anything. I have tried gargling but once again, it’s only very temporary. Aren’t there possibly any other solutions to get rid of my bad breath? Don’t simply state those sprays with a mint scent because they seriously don’t help.
