Answer 1

Many things can cause bad breath- from simple food choices to an infected tooth or gums, a stomach virus, dehydration, tonsillitis and other ailments. The best thing to do is switch to an alcohol free mouth wash, and there is a great oral odor neutralizer caller Therabreath it has tea tree oil and neutralise's odor on contact. Then drink more water get a check up for your teeth and general health to see if there is a more complex problem. Good Luck!

Answer 2

Sinus Troubles are most often than not the cause of bad breath. The second very common reason is an upset stomach. Since there is not much you can do about your sinus, other than getting proper treatment for the same that is, what you can do is Increase your daily intake of water to at least 8-10 glasses a day. Secondly chew a sugar free gum after meals. For people with dental problems, dentists suggest brushing your teeth after every major meal (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner). you are doing god with the Flossing and Using Mouthwash, they are good habits keep it up.

Answer 3

1. you need to brush your teeth atleast twice a day. but you probably know that. you may have an infection on your gums. usually "bad breath" is related to your gums. Called Gingivatis (that is not spelled right) If you don't brush them regurally it will cause your teeth and gums to swell, turn red. like when you brush. Do you see blood when you spit or during brushing? That means you brushing improperly. Best way to see it go to your dentist have a check up and see what they say. Cuase you may be doing everything correctly and you just have this symdrome thing that no matter what you do you have bad breathe. It is a type of desease that you take medicine for.

Answer 4

Make sure to scrape that tongue of yours very good.
80% of our mouths bacteria grows on the tongue.

Also get one of those dental picks and use it to floss out your teeth you'll notice a bad smell while doing this , just means you're getting at the problem.
Get a good listerine or any good mouth wash.

Go to dentist for a cleaning and see if the dentist sees a different reason as to why your breath stinks, could be something only he can take care of.
Good luck

Answer 5

A number of things can cause bad breath...a poor diet, smoking, a tooth absess. Try using a mouth wash twice a day and changing your diet/smoking habbits if you think that this could be playing a factor.

Answer 6

Bacteria, you need a good mouthwash(Listerine will kill them), brush daily and you may have a cronic bad breathe called halitosis and you should call your dentist if it won't go away as you may have a gum disease or a rotten tooth.

Answer 7

Did you know there is a pill for halitosis? if you go to your Dr. or dentist they will give you a prescription . my friend suffered for years , it was intolerable and no body have the heart to tell her; but she sought help thru her physician, now she takes one of those little pills, (do not know the name); but if you mention it to your Dr. he will know. good luck

Answer 8

Brush your tongue. While you're brushing your teeth, also brush your tongue. Bacteria that causes bad breath says on your tongue. and use Listerine.

Answer 9

it could be a couple things. you might have something wrong with your teeth or it might be intestinal, if none of your teeth are bothering you, you might want to make an apt with your Dr. to get it checked out.

The hyG Ionic™ Toothbrush

Plaque is stubborn because it has a positive polarity, while teeth have a negative polarity. This means that plaque is attracted to teeth, much as dust is attracted to objects in your home. The hyG Ionic™ Toothbrush breaks this ionic bond by temporarily reversing the polarity of tooth surfaces. As you brush, plaque molecules are actively repelled by your teeth and drawn to the hyG’s negatively charged bristles, even in hard to reach places in your mouth.

What causes bad breath?

85 to 90% of bad breath (halitosis) is caused by oral bacteria. Some bad breath has medical causes, which is why, if you have halitosis, it's a good idea to first check with a doctor. But for the vast majority of people with bad breath, bacteria are the culprit.

Bacteria in order to live, must consume food. And, along with that, they excrete wastes.

When bacteria live in your mouth, the food they eat is the food you eat. When food remains in the mouth for an extended period, they eat quite a bit. If you brush right after eating, and if you confine your eating to mealtimes, you'll greatly reduce their food intake and will fight bad breath.

The waste produced by many oral bacteria consists of sulfur compounds. Sulfur compounds are notoriously smelly (hydrogen sulfide is the notorious "rotten egg" smell). So it's fairly easy to see that oral bacteria are the culprit.

A list of the smelly sulfur compounds excreted as waste products by the bacteria that live in your mouth: Hydrogen sulfide is one waste product of oral bacteria.

Another is methyl mercaptan, which is the stinky odor emanating from barnyards and feed lots.

Another oral bacteria waste product is dimethyl sulfide, which is also associated with brackish ocean water.

These bacterial waste products are called "volatile sulfur compounds," or VSCs. The word volatile means that they easily turn into gasses, which, of course, is required for us to smell them.

There are some other bacterial waste products besides volatile sulfur compounds that contribute to odor. Here is a list of some of them: Putrescine -produced by decaying meat.

Skatole - present in human feces.

Isovaleric Acid - produced by sweaty feet.

Cadaverine - the compound responsible for the smell of corpses.

Everyone has traces of these compounds in their breath. Usually the amounts are low enough so they aren't detected. But, as levels of these compounds rise, they can definitely become obnoxious.

Of the list above, putrescine, methyl mercaptan, hydrogen sulfide, and skatole are waste products of anaerobic bacteria. These bacteria prefer environments that have little or no oxygen. Too much oxygen may kill these bacteria.

It isn't practical or desirable to eliminate all the bacteria that grow in your mouth. Many of them are beneficial. What's important is that you keep a healthy balance of bacteria and minimize the numbers of odor-causing bacteria.

To minimize these bacteria, you can minimize anaerobic conditions in your mouth. Plaque, the thin, bacteria-laden film that grows on your teeth and also on your tongue, can protect the underlying bacteria from oxygen. The more plaque buildup you have, the more favorable environment your mouth is going to provide for these odor-causing bacteria. Oxygen, in this case, is a helpful disinfectant. Keep your mouth clean, and you permit oxygen to reach all the surfaces where bacteria can live and keep anaerobic, odor-causing bacteria to a minimum.

What foods promote bad breath?

The sulfur-containing compounds excreted by odor-causing bacteria are generally waste products of bacteria that are digesting proteins. Thus, as you consume high-protein foods, you are helping to create bad breath. Especially as you neglect to brush and floss, you help feed these bacteria for extended periods and thus will aggravate the odor in your mouth.

High protein foods that tend to lead to halitosis: Meat

Seafood

Eggs

Dairy foods

Nuts

Peas and beans

Cereal grains


High-protein foods have become more popular recently because of weight-control diets such as the Atkins Diet and the South Beach Diet. Maybe the most sensible policy is to eat a normal, balanced diet, with adequate amounts of protein, carbohydrates, fats and oils.

Where do bad breath bacteria live?

These bacteria can live anywhere in your mouth. But their favorite environment is the tongue, with its deep crevices and papillae, especially the back of the tongue, which is somewhat protected. The crevices around and between the teeth also provide a protected area. So cleaning your tongue and the crevices around your teeth is an important aid to cure bad breath. If you have a tartar buildup, this also provides a hiding place for bacteria. This needs to be removed professionally.
