I have had this problem for a long time bad beath, help I have tried every tooth paste in sight.?

Question

It started when I was in the 9th grade, I would go to the bath room and brush, brush and rinse, but as soon as I leave the bathroom the odor was present. People would put their hands over their mouth and even today on my job they would give me a mint or candy, I have tried all of this. last year in Novemver I had my tonsils removed. I am afraid to date because of this, I need help, I decided last week to go ahead and let the dentist pull the rest of my teeth, My fathers mother had from gum disease, and everyone of my family members have bad teeth, My teeth appear good but thier is this odor, I have tried Dr Katz products and this don't work. I am so depressed. I have never ever gotten close to anyone, I have'nt dated in years. I need help I would love to have friends and be able to date. I am afraid to even talk in peoples face.
Thanks

Answer 1

You should have a complete medical evaluation. Certain systemic illnesses can cause bad breath, and they have nothing to do with your mouth or teeth. Don't have your teeth pulled if they are healthy...that's no solution. Do you have sinus trouble, or bad digestion? These can affect your breath. Someone mentioned diabetes...that's a possibility also. Call your doctor.

Answer 2

Like many other people said, yes acid can destroy your teeth rather quickly. Also your gums can become inflamed and loosen around your teeth. Other long term problems can be increased GERD (Gastro-esophageal reflux disorder), ulcers in the esophagus, increased stress on the circulatory system which can result in heart attacks or strokes, vitamin deficiencies, along with a host of other problems. Those are just physical problems. Of course, starting this shows some emotional problems as well. Although this can be a coping mechanism for emotional distress, it is not a long term solution. Often these self-destructive habits can increase feelings of isolation and lack of control. Learning healthy eating habits and exercise can be hard but will actually help in the long run both physically and mentally. Seeking the advice of a competent counselor would also go a long way to helping you resolve the issues you are dealing with. Best of luck to you!

Answer 3

Have you addressed this issue with your dentist? If there is gum disease or bacteria, it will contribute to bad breath. Also, sugar will make the breath smell bad. Don't chew gum or suck mints that have sugar in them. Use sugar free products. Next, don't use mouthwash that contains alcohol because it will only dry out the mouth. Look for product in the drug store that do not contain alcohol and that claims to provide moisture to the mouth. A dry mouth will be odorous. Chewing on parsley freshens breath as well as lemons. Try natural products with natural ingredients such as peppermint. Do no smoke; bush you teeth and use a tongue scraper; floss daily.

Answer 4

Unfortunately, you might need to seek a dentist that might be able to suggest a treatment. There is so much a dentist can do now days. Let's hope that your parents haven't passed the disease on to you. Worse thing is you will end up with dentures. Look at it this way, at least you won't need to worry about it . I have partials...lost 5 teeth that were abscessed all at once. They are not a bad thing. Don't let it discourage you from dating...you will find someone when the time is right for you. Good luck.

Answer 5

Go to the doctor, see if it's a stomach problem or sinus infection. liver and lung problems affect your breath too. Brush your teeth (if you have any) with an electric toothbrush twice a day, use dental floss (I use floss on a stick) twice a day. Get a tongue scraper . Maybe an oral irrigator that blasts cold water between your teeth and flushes them out? I use Dentyl ph mouthwash it works. If you can't get that where you are, get an alcohol free mouthwash , alcohol dries out your mouth and makes the problem worse. Suck cloret mints. Chewing parsley can help and drinking peppermint tea.

Answer 6

You may have an internal problem, you should see your internal medicine doctor. You could also start with having your teeth cleaned by a dental professional twice a year, your may have a periodontal disease and a specialist may have to treat your gums. This may be costly, but you'll have better breath and your teeth in the long run.

Answer 7

Well it looks like you already know some of the prob... cuz I was gonna say something bout your tonsils. I had a friend who had bad breath & she even asked me, "Do I have bad breath?" I'd lie & say no cuz I didn't wanna tell da truth. I found out through her sis that she had to get her tonsils removed. I think that her sis made her get embarassed that I found out how come she didn't have bad breath anymore.
Wish I could help you out w/ your prob... Maybe you just need to talk to your Dr. &/or dentist. I hope that you are able to get your prob resolved !!!

Btw, she was in hs when she had halitosis too...

Diet can be one of the main causes of bad breath believe it or not.

I used to always have bad breath and always skipped breakfast. I found that by midday I had bad breath. I tried eating a healthy breakfast (and it has to be healthy, fruit with a bit of porridge) and it really helped. Try avoiding fried food and skipping meals and snacking. It worked for me.

Also sometimes fur on the tongue can be a cause. You can buy a tongue scrapper and use it every day this helps too.

Answer 9

It sounds like you suffer from Chronic Halitosis. This is a true condition which has various causes. I would direct you to the following site which has a huge FAQ section. Perhaps you may find the cause of your bad breath here:

I would also see a medical doctor in addition to your dentist. There are many medical causes for halitosis. Godd luck and I hope this helps!

Answer 10

the first thing that you should always do is see a doctor. there are many causes for bad breath besides tooth decay or gum disease. there is gastrointestinal problems and there could be problems with your sinuses or tonsils. do you have a lot of sore throats. try eating parsley sprigs and more yogurt. the yogurt will definitely help with the gastro.
