Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

Did you use probiotic in pill form, or a kind of melt in your mouth form? The only thing I can think of is I once heard a man recommending a prescription that makes you create more saliva. Thinking about trying it. Mine gets worse when I talk, but I don't have dry mouth normally...I dont remember th...

Yes, that is the one . It is essentially a very strong disinfectant.

@telpar Smartmouth DID work, at first. Then it made things worse. The bacteria is now stronger than ever, unfortunately. Another product I think may have led to this was Crest (the type with triclosan.) Triclosan is an anti microbial and I think after several years of using it the effects slowly wor...

@Stevian It was morning breath that started in college, but went away with brushing until I was in my early 30s. During this time some specific things happened that may or may not have contributed to an imbalance. I started Enbrel for arthritis (about a year before this began, although I was simply ...

No to everything except the slight white coating. I've already seen a periodontist. And gastro and ENT. I have some tonsil stones once in a while but that's it. What about you?

Ahhh, yes, I see it is 4%. I'm curious as to why this person would suggest such a treatment knowing I've tried chlorhexidine in the past with only short term results...I've ordered but am afraid it will only make my problem worse, although at this point I'm not sure how that is possible. What produc...

I'm cautious as well but it has been recommended by an actual professor of oral microbiology at USC. not for daily use, just as needed on the back of the tongue. I explained that I had already used .20 chlorhexidine to no avail, but he said oral bacteria should not be able to rebound from such a str...

Thanks for the info!

Has anyone tried this? It's sold under the name Hibiclens. It was recommended to me by a professor if oral microbiology.

So how do you control your bad breath?

Hi everyone, So I was reading yet ANOTHER article online, hoping to glean some info I hadn't yet found, when. I came across an article published by a dental office who had asked Dr. Slots, who is the professor of periodontology and microbiology at USC, how to treat halitosis, and he said use Hibicle...

Do you have issues with your sweat or urine smelling as well? And what are other health issues you have ruled out, like periodontal disease?

Hello, So when my BB (oral and nasal) started it was fart breath. Now it is sometimes garbage or sewer breath. Does anyone else have similar odors? I feel like I only read about that in people with TMAU, but I don't have BO. (I mean I have regular BO if I don't wear deodorant and sweat). And I can't...

Thank you! I will look into that. I have to postpone the test for two weeks because I've been eating yogurt and don't want the probiotics to interfer, but I will keep you posted. What is also interesting and noted at the end of the study (always at the end, where the conclusions are!) Is that they a...

Hello, Getting a SIBO test at lab this weekend, and was reading up on test prep when I found this study. It was interesting because the scientists were surprised to see that oral bacteria can affect breath tests, and that if chlorhexidine is used before the breath test, bacteria rebounds after 15-20...
