Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

I know how you feel brother. The best thing you can do is stay patient, which trust me I know is hard. Have you tried oil pulling, it helps a little for me with morning breath. The best thing you can do is if you want to be tested for something get on a list ASAP and wait. Being on a list is better ...

Dude our problem sounds literally identical. 23 years old trapped in my room. Somehow I have a girlfriend who I met before this issue started and who has stayed with me. I know exactly what you're talking about when you say you catch whiffs of leather. Depending on my surroundings the smell varies f...

I did some research on bb caused by post nasal drip and remembered the ENT once pointing out that I had polyps but didn't know what they were and thought nothing of it. Apparently having polyps is pretty rare, something like 2% of the population(read that somewhere, but it's the Internet don't trust...

New Jersey right here

@phantasist polyps can sometimes be seen through the nostril, I can see mine with a flashlight. ENT's also have a scope they stick up your nose and can tell pretty easily if you have polyps. I wouldn't overlook this because I thought nothing of it and mine have gotten worse

For what it's worth, I'm not nearly as educated as you guys are about bb in general, but I have nasal polyps for a fact as well as PND. I read that irrigating regularly SHOULD keep your sinuses from backing up and that if you can't clear up using regular irrigation there is a more serious issue. ie....

This may sound weird but I can be having a good day, no reactions from others but there are certain people that when I get near I get a whiff of bb. In particular my boss who doesn't seem to mind because I'm hard working. I also have 2 or three friends who when I get around them I can smell it. To b...

Yep, still three bad teeth. Two minor cavities and one more root canal. But I will check the forums for the tmau test

Your knowledge is extremely helpful, thank you always responding so quickly

I should probably add that my mucus doesn't smell much and my saliva has a bit of metallic trace in it but usually doesn't smell like anything.

Is it possible that leaving rotten teeth in my mouth for so long turned into a blood borne case because my oral flora changed so much?

Pretty sure it's not tmau, although I don't know for sure. Are there any other blood borne illnesses that can cause bb? Can they be cured?

I seem to think I self-inflicted my bb through neglect/poor oral hygiene and poor diet for so long(energy drink, cigarettes, booze, drugs, foods,etc)

100% sure that it works for about an hour or so I cannot detect anything then it slowly creeps back. What I don't get it I read that chlorophyll helps type 4 bb when I am almost certain I have type 1

Liquid chlorophyll works for me but turns my mouth green. Tongue, stains teeth, whole nine yards. But I cannot detect bb when I use it. Wtf?

@cocnuthead it's funny you say that, I can never smell my breath at home either, and I usually get whiffs of it when in public. Mine is usually fecal but I have heard the mothball expression used as well. Which makes sense because in the last week I've come to realize some tooth decay I didn't know ...

UPDATE so today I broke down to my dentist and begged him to help fix me lol. We did the root canal and he told me that i need two fillings, one on each side of my upper molars. He also said my top wisdom teeth need to come out. Not having dental insurance I was reluctant but he offered to pull them...

I was 21, never an issue before two yrs ago. Started out situational and slowly turned into chronic case
