How do I get rid of bad breath?
Posted by admin under Dental
Metallica asked:
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?

Are you taking any medications?
Sometimes they can cause side affects and bad breath is one of them. Follow your diet and see if you are eating a lot of something that maybe the reason for this like onions, garlic, or some kinds of fish. Stay away from stinky drinks they tempt to linger around in your mouth. When you eat gum make sure its sugar less.
Do not use mints because they contain sugar and sugar feeds bacteria. Drink enough water daily its cleansing. Floss after each meal. But chances are that your breath is not as bad as you think -So ask somebody. Try different flavored tooth pastes.
and here are some tips I found online a while ago
* The people of South America start their mornings by gargling with one teaspoon of honey and cinnamon powder mixed in hot water. This keeps their breath fresh throughout the day.
* To keep your toothbrush free of bacteria, store it, head down, in a lidded plastic tumbler of hydrogen peroxide. Rinse the brush down well before you use it.
* Here’s how to properly check for bad breath (the classic way of blowing into the palms and smelling them is a placebo: you may think you’re ok but you are not): Lick the back of your hand and then smell it, if no odor is sensed – just the ‘presence’ of normal saliva, then you are good to go!
kk if not check with a dentist or doctor because it may be an internal problem such as poor digestion and such.

Do you still have your tonsils? look if there is white spots on those… If so it can be food retaining in your tonsils, which get infected. If so, get a consult with a dentist or ENT, as there are options for that.. Real bad smell caused only by your tonsils might be a good indication to surgically remove those.
It can also be your tongue. Bad breath is also caused by bacterian metabolism, and most of the bacteria in your mouth are on your tongue. Bye a Tongue scraper, you will see, using this you can remove 1cm cube bacteria per day! It can dramatically help you.
If both don’t help, some prescribed mouthwash can help for that. You will have to consult a dentist. He can help you.

1- Check your height/weight ratio first, if overweight – fix it.
2- When you get up in the morning first thing, Take one garlic clove and chop it very tiny, put it in a cup and squeese a lemon in the same cup, Add one pinch of salt mix and drink it. for about one week. (Do not eat anything for about one hour after the garlic)
when you over eat specially heavy meals right before bed time will cause bad breath, you can prove this by eating steak one night and nothing nother night to compare.
The garlic will serv as a cleanser, you should see a change in about five days.
