How can I get rid of bad breath?

Question

I use mouthwash and brush my teeth regularly, and do not seem to have an unhealthy diet. But my breath smells like something rottern or maybe even like s**t. Is there any medicine or some other remedy for that problem?

Answer 1

Make sure that you floss. All the brushing and rinsing in the world still might not get out the food rotting in between your teeth, causing horrible smells. Make sure to get a dental cleaning every six months as well. They can get way below the gumline.

PROBLEMS

The other answers are addressing the odor not the cause

READ THIS IMPORTANT INFO PLEASE!!





1. The tongue reflects the state of your liver. Bad tongue = bad liver. The liver won't warn with pain until it is way damaged.
2. the tongue harbors bacteria, especially way back at the uvela or tonsils

So first brush your tongue every day, way into the back and on the sides too. At first you will have the gagging reflex but that will subside with patience and practice. Do not swallow what you remove. Tongue scrapers will only get a little of the bacteria so use a stiff toothbrush.

Now the liver: "It has become toxic"

You are ingesting toxins in the form of any of the following:

Smoke, alchohol, red meats and fats, bad/processed foods, sugar, white flour, chemicals/drugs, "hydrogenated" anything, trans fats and preservatives etc.

You are not eating the right foods for your body.
95% Raw veggies with 1/3 being fruits. Nuts, whole organic foods, fish and poultry, no red meat, lots of fresh, clean, spring water or distilled water.

Research all natural liver cleanses. See a doctor or professional homeopathic for guidance.

Good luck!

Answer 3

You might want to go to your physician to rule out any other causes for the bad breath. Sometimes it can come from various illnesses. If you get a clean bill of health, and still have problems with bad breath try a few of these things:

Brush your tongue in addition to brushing/flossing your teeth. some stores sell tongue scrapers.

Avoid foods that are known to cause bad breath like garlic or onions. Cut down on your alcohol, caffeine and sugar intake as well.

Try drinking cinnamon or mint tea. Both are very good for neutralizing odors...or you could even grow mint and chew on the leaves.

You might even try eating plain nonfat yogurt. That will also help to keep the bacterial balance in the mouth and GI tract, reducing the likelihood of bad breath.

Answer 4

All of the things that the people who have already responded said are all very feasable explanations to what could be the problem. However two other things come to mind. If you have sinus drainage running down your throat all the time, that can cause bad breath. Another thing that can cause bad breath is if you have enlarged tonsils, food can get stuck in the little pockets in them, and smell like something died. Go for a visit to your Dr, and your dentist to see if you can rule out, and find the exact problem. Good luck!

Answer 5

See a dental hygienist every six months and get regular checkups by a competent dentist. Floss between your teeth every day and brush your tongue. Choose a good brand of mouthwash.
Although you eat healthy foods and drink lots of water you should have a doctor check your digestive system - and also be certain there is no problem with acid reflux.
Not many people realize it but dental health can have a profound effect on the entire human body.

Answer 6

Bad breath is caused by the bacteria that builds on the back of your tougne. Now, there are several ways to combat that. First off, you can try when you brush, to make sure you brush your tougne. The back of teh tougne, more than anything. Second, chew gum, and use the Listerine breath strips. They are very uiseful when you can not get to mouth wash or a brush. There are also tougne scrappers out there that can help that even better than brushing. If you are doing anything in regards to the back of the tougne, if you are not gagging, you are not doing it correctly. Also, consult a doctor. There are disorders out there that are out of your control in regards to the breath. I hope this helps, and please, email me if you have any further questions.

Answer 7

The reason you have bad breath is you never clean your tongue. Go to walmart get you a tongue scraper,they're cheap, and reach to the back of your tongue.yea you'll get the heave reflex, but pull all that gunk off and do this twice each week .Also each time you brush your teeth brush your tongue, rinse with warm water and forget the mouth wash it just covers bad breath,try using water mixed with baking soda ,leaves your mouth clean and fresh.
