My breath is really bad, what do I do?

Question

I brush my teeth two times a day, but even though, whenever my mouth is dry, I have a really bad breath. That's mostly during school hours, because I never eat/drink there. When my mouth is not dry, it's still bad, but not as much. So.. What can I do?

XD I know, Bubbly. In fact, at school we use shared desks, and I sit next to a girl. I hate talking to her because of my breath.

Answer 1

Use mouth wash, use the new toothpaste with listerine strips in them or any strong minty toothpaste, carry strong minty gum at school so you can chew it when your mouth is dry, carry listerine strips anywhere you go... Just a few ideas... :P

Answer 2

Floss between your teeth every day
Brush both your teeth and tongue as often as possible
Visit your dentist and hygienist at least twice a year
Chew sugarless gum whenever your mouth gets dry
Drink lots of liquids such as water and avoid milk and coffee hich may causes bad breath
Eat more fruits and vegetables every day
Alcoholic beverages often cause bad breath
Avoid using tobacco products
Avoid sugary snacks between meals, which increase bacteria in the mouth
Try cutting down on strongly flavored or spicy food that may make your breath smell
Brush your tongue
Clean your dentures well regularly
Eat breakfast because it gets the saliva flowing and cleans the mouth
Rinse with water often

Answer 3

Floss, brush your teeth, scrape your tongue, rinse with a mouthwash of your choice. Avoid foods that make bad breath, like onions and garlic. If none of that helps, consult your doctor or dentist to see where the smell is coming from.

If you do a search on the internet using "bad breath" as your search term, you will find almost five MILLION references. Here's a good place to start:

The odors from garlic and onions enter your blood stream and then it takes a couple of DAYS before you breathe it all off. As you do this, you will continue to have bad breath. You can only use a mouthwash or breath mint (sugarless) as needed to mask the odor. I have read a lot of answers here saying to eat parsley to get rid of garlic breath, but I have no personal knowledge about that. Try it.

Answer 4

Well, a product called breath assure is made for that. If you have doo doo mouth that bad and the said product does not work make yourslelf a doc apointment. Sometimes it's in your guts or some thing like that. try with some certs or tic tacs. Your teacher will frown on chewing gum in class, so try that. Also listerine makes those Acid tab things,you drop on your tongue. Also cut garlic and other stuff like that out of your diet for a couple of weeks.

Answer 5

Well that is exactly why. When your mouth gets dry your body automatically takes juies from your stomach. You know those gastric juices that are in your stomach? Well when your mouth gets dry, nothing can stop the scents from coming up. So all I can tell you to do is to keep liquid with you and some mints.

Answer 6

Are you flossing also? Flossing helps to removes food and plaque in between your teeth, where a brush cannot reach. If you haven't flossed in a while, you may notice a little blood and that the floss may smell bad. Just be sure to do it once a day. And brush your tongue too.

Answer 7

Try brushing your tongue and the back of your tongue. Your dry mouth in not helping either. You could try something called BreathRX. You can ask your dentist about it. I dont think it's available in stores.

Answer 8

How old are you? What are your eating habits? You may need to do an intestinal/colon cleanse. There are many cleanses available but best one I found was "New Vitality" Colon & Body cleanse. Got rid of all my mucoid plaque and other toxic subtances from my alimentary and gastric tract. Felt 20 years younger and my chronic fatigue went away.

Answer 9

rinse with vodka!
i'm not kidding, it actually kills bacteria, and makes you feel a little happier, too!
scope mouthwash also works really well, although you've probably already tried this.
talk to your dentist, because you may have some sort of infection or bacteria growing and you should treat this if possible.
it's also a good idea to stay hydrated--drink at least 3-4 bottles of water daily.

Answer 10

You should see your dentist - you may have a problem with your gums. The dentist could prescribe a mouth rinse for you, or be able to give you suggestions on what to do.
