Answer 1

How do you perceive the people around you? If someone is walking past you (and lets say they're wearing slippers down the street) do you either a: not take any notice and leave it or b: tease the person who is wearing the slippers/talk about them rudely behind their back? Sometimes the way you think can cause terrible consequences, such as if you are really stressed out you can cause diarrhoea. Maybe you should go and see a naturopath.

Answer 2

flossing and brushing covers it up for a short amount of time but does not actaully get rid of the problem.
u either dont have enough saliva in your mouth, so always carry a bottle of water around with you and drink regularly.
watch what foods you eat - like the garlic and onion - avoid them, once th food is absorbed into the bloodstream it travels to the lungs where it is expelled..u know the rest
you could actaully have an infection but it is so minor that you dont even know you have it! such as: local infection in the respiratory tract, chronic sinusitis, postnasal drip, chronic bronchitis, diabetes, gastrointestinal disturbance, liver or kidney ailment and tonsilitis.
some medications can aid in having bad breath
if it persists - write in a book all the foods and medication you take then see your dentist, he (or she) can most likely find the cuase of it. if he cant its most likely and infection of some sort in which case - see your doctor! GOOD LUCK!

Answer 3

Sounds like you have ruled out all the reasons for bad breath. It usually comes from an empty stomach, so make sure you don't allow your stomach to get to empty. If the dentist has ruled out dental disease then the only other thing I can think of is your tongue. Most people forget their tongue when they are brushing. You need to brush your tongue every time you brush and you can also get a "tongue scraper" to help. Good luck and try the scraper.

Answer 4

well, most common cause is poor dental hygiene, but as you brush twice a day it could actually be an infection or anything.

take a look at this site:

it will give you lots of information about bad breath, the causes, and the cures!

Answer 5

Floss every time you brush, drink plenty of water and buy a tongue scraper (most bad breath comes from build up on the tongue).

Any decent chemist will have a tongue scraper.

Also, try to eat a balanced diet. A diet of fast food and snacks is a recipe for bad breath.

Answer 6

Use an antibacterial mouthwash such as listerine.
Bad breath is caused by bacteria, as the mouth is warm and moist it is optimum for the bacteria to multiply quickly.
Brush after your lunch too.
Floss regularly.

Answer 7

Try adding fresh parsley to your diet. When you get it on your plate as a garnish in a restaurant, try eating it. The chloroform in it is a natural breath freshener. Make sure you include flossing also, cause food particles can cause bad breath too. Good luck.

Answer 8

Do you have a stuffy nose. You could have sinus problems which could definatley give you yuck breath. Have your doctor check out you sinuses. You don't have to live with this. The is some underlying problem. What does your dentist say?

Answer 9

your breath is the whats inside you tummy if you eating the wrong foods and gas foods then this can also be a cause

Answer 10

There are some medical conditions that cause this. A trip to the doctor would at least get you reassurance even if a cure was not effected.
