You can use 50% hydrogen peroxide and 50% water rinse and gargle for 60 seconds and this will help to kill any bacteria that may be lurking about some where... if this don't work try the dentist. Also plain yogurt has cultures in it to help regulate the natural bacteria in the mouth and also green tea. Hope this helps.

Sorry to get so personal but often times bad breath is associsted with constipation. We all should be having 2-3 bowel movements a day. I do not think most of us do. If you are not. I would suggest increasing fiber and fish oil. Yes go to the dentist you may have a bad cavity or infection of sorts. Lastly how is your diet try to lessen fast foods,sugars and caffiene.

Yes, you should go to the dentist. As for the bad breath: are you sure it smells? sometimes we are wrongly self-conscious about that. As for the breath mints and mouthwash try the ones without alcohol; and ask your dentist for suggestions. Good luck!

I have the same problem sometimes...try searching the web for info on tonsiloliths...they are stinky lumps of gunk which accumulate down the back of your throat around the folds of you tonsils (even ppl with no tonsils can get them). Annoying and gross as they are, there isn't much you can do about them apart from trying to purify your diet a bit...
You should see your dentist about the gum thing though...

Yes bleeding gums are not normal. This maybe a sign of gingivitis which can lead to periodontitis which can cause your teeth to fall out if left untreated.
