Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

Did you guys know that anaerobic bacteria can build up in your water heater? I noticed a rotten egg smell in my water for the first time. So I've googled what the problem was and it seems that the water tank can build up bacteria when the water is in contact with an aluminum or metal anode inside th...

Hi Dr. What do you think about the effects of PH level in the mouth? I ask because when I suck on a lemon, my breath seems to be much better and the bad taste is gone. Another member posted brushing and gargling with Aspirin which helped her bad breath, supposedly because it increased her PH level.

The guy is just advertising the product. Lets go find him at the Houston headquarters and breathe on him to death.

I noticed the same with it so I dont use peroxide. There is a burning sensation and then the smell seems worse after a few minutes. For me, sucking on a lemon for as long I can helps or at least I have more confidence with it more than anythin. I think it is because I am increasing the ph level in m...

I'm wondering if there have been any romance here? I want to try and meet someone but of course the fear of rejection over this bad breath is preventing me.

Yes, I have low white blood cells and I have low igA count. What is weird is that I am never sick or have infections besides bad breath if that is considered an infection. Treatment is generic, such as eat right, exercise, blah blah blah.

and of course social anxiety causes stress which leads to worse breath

Yes, very much so. Of course bad breath doesn't help.

Wtf really? You guys are crazy. We are poisonous now. Thanks for making me feel better..

I think how we deal with stress and how we are proned to stress has lot to do with our bad breath. Worrying about bad breath causes stress and seems like an involuntary signal or reaction for us to get away from people. Maybe bad breath is a sign for us to relax and to get away from stressful situat...

I was around 12-13. I remember when a classmate said get this guy some tic tac out loud. Ever since then, I have had this problem. I think there are a few factors why it starts to happen around this time, but I think stress was a big part initiating my problem. Around junior high was when social and...
