what can you do for bad breath when brushing doesnt work?

Answer 1

Do you brush your tongue?
A lot of germs on there that can cause bad breath.

Answer 2

go to the dentist get a cleaning, They may give you a mouth wash that tastes really bad to help deal with it. Also try Listerine and rinse with it for 1 minute a couple times of day and don't rinse your mouth out with water after you do this or eat or drink anything for 1/2 hour after. Baking soda can also help. You might have to change toothpastes. I use Colgate and that does a better job than some others do.

Answer 3

For long term sweeter breath...and most people don't like this answer...eat less meat. Eat leafy, green vegetables and fruit. Too many starches like bread can also make for long term bad breath.

Less meat also helps with body odor problems. Of course, drinking alcohol, smoking and acidic drinks like coffee can cause bad breath and body odor also. A good diet makes for a better smell all around.

Answer 4

you can go to the dentice, and get a cleaning, or try mouthwash, but if u ONLY brush, try FLOSSING!

"Most bad breath comes from just ignoring flossing." Quote Dr. Katie Marie Scapula. She recomends flossing and using mouthwash to all patients who complains about bad breath.


Hope this helps! Or, try popping in a breath mint ;-)
