oh man, you need to get into the dentists office right now! call them and tell them that it is an emergency. it sounds to me like some sort of periodontal disease is beginning. if you dont go in, you cant get it fixed, and you could potentially lose your teeth

Your bad breath could be from your diet, like it you eat a lot of garlic. But, if you have grayish gums then you need to see a dentist. Grey tissue is usually dying tissue. What you ate a few months ago should have no effect on your current bad breath problem. It sounds like you are cleaning your teeth well, so a good suspect would be an infection or something under the gum line. Ask a dentist for their advice.

It sounds like your gums are receding. It could be a cavity, which would not necessarily hurt, but can cause bad breath. Perhaps something in your diet, or an allergy/sinus problem is contributing to your breath problem. Go see a dentist. It seems you are doing everything right, but maybe they could help.

*** go to your dentist. if you're noticing that your teeth are getting longer you probably have bone loss, and the pockets around your teeth could be infected. the dentist has special mouth rinses to kill these infections. please get to your dentist PDQ b/c otherwise you run the risk of losing your teeth. if u get a deep cleaning they can at least slow things down for u if not reverse it all together.

First off peroxide does not make a good mouthwash and can be dangerous if you accidently swallow it. You need to see both your doctor and your dentist to get to the bottom of your breath problem. Instead of letting it go on untreated see the doc and the dentist and get this taken care of.

you probably have a cavity. Seeing a dentist will fix it right up. When I get a cavity (from pop), my breath stinks too. No amount of toothpaste or mouthwash can cover it up. You'll end up eating more sugary mints and developing more cavities.

Go to the Dentist, even though you are trying to take care of them, doesn't mean you can get out of going to have check ups done semi annually..
