Bad breath BoyFreind-?

Question

How do I tell my 1 month B.F that he always has bad breath? Even right after brushing. he is wonderful, good looking, but the breath.. i dont want to kiss him, what do I do??

Answer 1

You can have Altoids around and take one, offer him one each time. I've done this with people who are not that close to me and usually they get the hint and ask, "Does my breath stink?" This gives me ample opportunity to smile and nicely say, "Yes, it does." Usually, we laugh and they are happy that someone has finally told them.

With your boyfriend, you can break it to him just as easy. If he doesn't take the bait, like, saying, "Oh, no thanks." You look him straight in the eye and say, "Sure, take one. Please." Keep smiling. Once the conversation opens up, you can mention it to him and try to determine why his breath continues to smell even with such good oral hygiene practices. Perhaps he needs a tongue scraper (that's where those bad breath pellets lie) or his tummy could be sour. Just talk to him and find out.

He's too good looking to go around with bad breath! It's okay if ugly people have bad breath - no one will notice.

Answer 2

The best way is to tell him up front. Otherwise, it's you who will suffer in the long run. If he's easily offended, try and buy him some breath sprays. They're minty, and tell him they're good for his teeth and for use after eating. I know guys who are hooked to the spray, just for the minty flavour. =P If he's seriously considering doing something about it, bad breath comes from bacteria on the tongue, so you need to get him a toothbrush with a nobbly back that is for cleaning the tongue, or just get him a tongue brush from the department store. Mouth wash won't help, he needs to scrub his tongue every night. Good luck. Hope that helps. Bad breath could be a signal that his personal hygiene sucks, or it could be a bad liver. So he might have other gross things that he's hiding, or he might have very bad health. Both are bad for you, if you're considering a long-term relationship with him, so it's best to sort things out quickly and directly, or it's you who will suffer in the end.

Answer 3

I think you need to gently tell him. Sounds like he needs to see a dentist. Flossing daily and brushing his tongue as far back as he can helps alot. He could have gum disease which causes bad breath. A good mouth wash that doesn't contain alcohol will benefit also. Good luck!

maybe he needs a cleaning... I would bring up that you have to go to the dentist and suggest that he do the same. OR always have mints handy. Cause it hasnt been long enough to tell him that without possibly hurting his feelings.

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.
