Answer 1

Colon cleansing ? for Halitosis ?
No, no, no.....
Bad breath is caused by:-
1. rotting in the mouth (tooth decay / gum disease),
solution - see a dentist.
2. bad bacteria in the mouth,
solution - use a tongue scrapper before brushing.
3. rotting food in the mouth,
solution - brushing / flossing / toothpicks.
4. (rarely) stomach problems (usually only after gas),
solution - see a doctor.

Don't use mouthwash that contains alcohol - it kills natural the cleaning bacteria. I wouldn't put alcohol in 7yr olds mouth for any reason.
If it persists see a doctor anyway, could be a symptom of something worse.

Answer 2

All the answers above are correct. A tongue scraper, watch the diet...etc.

Be sure she/he is brushing correctly. Take your fingernail and scrape the tooth by the gumline after brushing, if you get plaque off her teeth then she needs to brush better. Also, you can get "disclosing tablets" from your dentist or even at the store. Chew the red tablet and see where the plaque is located before or after brushing. Seeing the dental hygienist would help.

I have heard that Closy's II at the drug store helps as well. You may want to check the age guidelines before using.

Answer 3

Colon cleansing???

Most breath problems come from the teeth or gums; she should be checked by a dental hygienist before anything else. Bad breath is also a sign of illness so if the hygienist finds nothing wrong, a doctor is the next step.

Answer 4

I had that problem (bad breath) for years. similarly, brushing my teeth never helped. Dentists gave out to me routinely. I also got migraine fairly frequently, and perhaps water retention and upset stomach.

I diagnosed it and fixed it in less than 24 hours. Candida albicans. In Naturesway i got Capricin, (i.e. Caprylic acid) tablets. I took them as directed, with food, and reduced my intake of white bread, cakes, biscuits, jam, honey, soft drinks, table sugar etc. The yeast (candida) would normally grab the simple sugars for itself.

If I ate cornflakes I would have a headache in the morning. (Possibly a hangover from the yeast working on the sugar.)

No doctors or dentists had been of any use to me with this problem up to then.

I have asked friends of mine to tell me if I get bad breath again.

Answer 5

Diet affects the breath - garlic is an example.
Bad breath also comes from the tongue.
Get a scrapper to clean the tongue when cleaning the teeth.
Ensure you clean the teeth thoroughly.
And also brush the gums.
Listerine mouthwash.

Answer 6

Halitosis can also be a stomach problem. Acid in your stomach can rise to your throat, your mouth and cause bad breath. Make sure she eats healthy and take her to the doctor or dentist.

Good luck.

Answer 10

Most cases (85–90%), bad breath originates in the mouth, sinus and throat. The intensity of bad breath differs during the day, due to eating certain foods (such as garlic, onions, meat, fish, and cheese), obesity, smoking, and alcohol consumption. Since the mouth is exposed to less oxygen and is inactive during the night, the odor is usually worse upon awakening ("morning breath"). Bad breath may be transient, often disappearing following eating, brushing one's teeth, flossing, or rinsing with mouthwash.
Causes:
1, Tongue, A common location is the tongue. Tongue bacteria produce malodorous compounds and fatty acids, and account for 60 to 70% of all cases of mouth-related bad breath. Methods used against bad breath, such as mints, mouth sprays, mouthwash or gum, only temporarily mask the odors created by the bacteria on the tongue, but cannot cure bad breath because they do not remove the source of the bad breath.
Cleaning the tongue - Many companies promote tongue scrapers as a bad breath cure however the bacteria on the tongue can’t be removed with a scraper or brush as they live between the taste buds. Use a tongue scrapper to reduce the food source for bacteria but don’t expect it to cure bad breath. The method of stopping bad breath from the tongue involves rebalancing the bacteria load. Once tongue bacteria are in balance bad breath will cease. For this complex procedure you’ll need to consult Oraltech Labs program at http://www.oraltech.com.au
2. Mouth, There are over 600 types of bacteria found in the average mouth. Other parts of the mouth may also contribute to the overall odor, but are not as common as the back of the tongue. These locations are, in order of descending prevalence: inter-dental and sub-gingival niches, faulty dental work, food-impaction areas in between the teeth, abscesses, and unclean dentures. To fix you will need a dentist to examine your teeth and repair any faults found. Or use Oraltech Labs Unusual Causes Of Bad Breath.
3. Gum disease, advanced periodontal disease is a common cause. Waste products from the anaerobic bacteria growing below the gum line (sub gingival) have a foul smell and have been clinically demonstrated to produce a very intense bad breath. To fix remove the tartar or hard plaque and friable tissue with a soft bristle tooth brush angled on the gum line. This has been shown to improve mouth odor considerably.
4. Nose, in this occurrence, the air exiting the nostrils has a pungent odor that differs from the oral odor. Nasal odor may be due to sinus infections, foreign bodies & commonly Post Nasal Drip. To fix this you will need to flush your sinuses with salt water. It’s very difficult. Use Oraltech Labs program to properly clear all sinus cavities.
5. Tonsils small bits of calcified matter in tonsillar crypts called tonsilloliths that smell extremely foul when released and can cause bad breath. To fix use warm to hot salt water mix to break the stones down or use a water pic to dislodge them. This topic is covered in depth in the Oraltech Labs Program.
6. Stomach, very uncommon source of bad breath. The esophagus is a closed and collapsed tube, and continuous flow (as opposed to a simple burp) of gas or putrid substances from the stomach indicates a health problem—such as reflux serious enough to be bringing up stomach contents or a fistula between the stomach and the esophagus. To fix use Oraltech Labs program to cure bad breath caused by GERD & Acid Reflux.
Management:
1. Gently clean the tongue surface twice daily; that can be achieved using a tooth brush, tongue cleaner or tongue brush/scraper to wipe off the bacterial biofilm, debris, and mucus. Scraping or otherwise damaging the tongue should be avoided, and scraping of the V-shaped row of taste buds found at the extreme back of the tongue should also be avoided. Brushing a small amount of antibacterial mouth rinse or tongue gel onto the tongue surface will further inhibit bacterial action.
2. Eating a healthy breakfast with rough foods helps clean the very back of the tongue.
3. Chewing gum: Since dry-mouth can increase bacterial build-up and cause or worsen bad breath, chewing sugarless gum can help with the production of saliva, and thereby help to reduce bad breath. Chewing may help particularly when the mouth is dry, or when one cannot perform oral hygiene procedures after meals.
4. Gargling right before bedtime with an effective mouthwash.
5. Maintaining proper oral hygiene, including daily tongue cleaning, brushing, flossing, and periodic visits to dentists and hygienists. Flossing is particularly important in removing rotting food debris and bacterial plaque from between the teeth, especially at the gum line.
