How do I get rid of really bad breath?

Question

My breath is really bad almost all the time.

I brush my teeth regularly and I also brush my tounge and I floss. I can't seem to get rid of really bad breath though.

And don't say chew gum or eat mints, cause that just temporarily masks the breath. I need something that will get rid of bad breath!

Oh yea, I did forget to mention it, but I do use mouthwash!

Answer 1

Use pure hydrogen peroxide in the brown bottle that you can get at most stores. It's usually by the rubbing alcohol. It should say on there that it's for oral debriding and cuts (NOT the kind you bleach hair with). Use a capful or two as a mouth rinse either before or after brushing (or both). You should notice a difference right away. Also, using pure Arm & Hammer baking soda (NOT baking powder) on your toothbrush works too. Just dip your brush in some and cover the bristles and brush. It tastes awful, but will sweeten your breath. Some days I use both perioxide and baking soda. Also using a baking soda and peroxide toothpaste helps too. I'm not a dentist, I just know by experience.

Answer 2

Check these out, there are a number of causes of bad breath, including:
Poor oral hygiene

Gum disease (e.g. gum boils, abscesses, spongy gums, gingivitis)

Multiplication of odor-causing bacteria in the mouth and digestive tract

Candidiasis

Chronic sinus infection

Certain medications (especially those that cause dry mouth as a side effect)

Smoking

Some foods can cause bad breath (garlic, onions, anchovies, high protein diet)

Poor digestion and sluggish liver

Constipation

Answer 3

Stay away from the professional teeth whitening procedures and from the whitening at home kits. They are using extremely toxic chemicals that can cause IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE TO TOOTH ENAMEL and premature tooth decay.

I solved my problem of bad breath and continue halitosis using the Difresh Stop-Halitosis mouth spray. You can also buy it in Difresh Shop in internet.
I m very happy now and my mouth is very fresh and clean in every moment of the day.

Answer 5

Ok this is gross but there is one other thing that no one else has mentioned. Do you get a lot of mucus draining down the back of your throat? Do you still have your tonsils? If you answered yes to those questions then get a torch and a mirror and check for pockets that may be on the surface of your tonsils. Cough and you may see something white- the mucus collects there sometimes and produces the most disgusting smelling cheese(I call it).Vigourous gargling with saltwater should dislodge it and if that doesnt work (dentists and Health experts will groan) gentle pressure with a clean finger or paddlepop stick works too....Prevention is better- rethink drinking milk.All the best and hope you work it out.

Answer 6

Could be what you eat. Brush again after eating and use a mouth rinse, Check with your dentist for a bad tooth.

Answer 7

I think it comes from you stomache. Dentists have this magic spray that gets rid of bad breath somehow. I don't know what it is, but it works really good

Answer 8

Try Listerine mouth wash and try toothpaste that helps fight bad breath

Answer 9

Go see your dentist. It could be gingivitis or gum disease. My father has gingivitis but he now has a regular routine of flossing, brushing, tongue scraping and a speacial mouth rinse that the dentist perscribes. He has actually managed to greatly reduce the problems he had with bad breath.

Answer 10

Use listerine, and brush your teeth and your togue, if it doesn't help i would see your dentist to see if you have something going on with your gums or teeth.
