Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

Hi, I posted a few weeks ago regarding my zinc deficiency, the post is called Cured?? Zinc deficient if you want to check it out. So anyway I had a follow up appointment today at the dental hospital, a quick back story, I had blood test which determined I have a zinc deficiency, so I've been on zinc...

hmm thats true! well fingers crossed, I really do hope it improves it for you at the very least. Maybe give it time till over a month, and see if there's any difference. I dont know about the possibility of a cure but my bb has definitely gotten worse over the years. Similar to you; it could only b...

dollymary1 - I did not have a deficiency [not that I know of anyway]. I believe someone posted on here that zinc helps minimize odour, and I gave it a try. Ive had bb for 18 years now; and ive tried a lot of things. My symptoms are dry mouth, sour breath/ smells of whatever I eat. Right now, I'm ex...

I read that there are no body stores of zinc .. So daily intake of zinc is required to maintain adequate levels...zinc is absorbed by the small Intestine and is excreted in sweat urine and faeces... Look out for foods which are rich in zinc..may be ur diet lacks zinc..I don't think taking supplemen...

Hi StillHoping! I would like to ask, did you have a confirmed zinc deficiency/low level?? If not, maybe that's why it hasn't worked out for you. What are your symptoms??

Why don't you also try b2 vitamin 100mg/ day you can get it from amazon.
Also PM if you want to be part of BB what's group.

Thanks for your suggestion!

Hi everyone, I haven't posted in a while and a lot has happened since. A brief background on myself, I have been suffering from bad breath for around 5 years. I'm 18 currently. Like us all bad breath has destroyed my life, although I've managed to maintain a great group of friends, and the occasiona...

Hi! My tongue was exactly like you describe, it is hairy and like a carpet. I think it is one anatomical problem that makes us more susceptible to bb than other people though I don't know if normal people's tongues are like that too or not. Yes in the beginning my tongue would hurt a little (it has...

Hi! What a lovely post, I'm so glad another one of us is cured! I had a tonsillectomy nearly a year ago, I was convinced this was the cause of my bad breath, it didn't work for me though :( Tung brush sounds like a great product for me, my tongue is HEAVILY yellow/white coated at any point in the da...

Hey Dolly. Are you in the UK by any chance and did your dentist remove it solely on the basis of it smelling bad? When I floss between my wisdom tooth (which has grown at a weird angle) and the next molar there is a smell and it's really hard to get rid of. I'm going to mention it I think next time...

Few days after, my tongue is much less yellow coated, I had to go to work today, normally when I come back from work my tongue is very yellow, but today is was more of a pinky white. I have also noticed my morning breath isn't as bad, besides from the cheesy smell and taste coming from the wound whe...

Hi everyone, I had my wisdom tooth removed yesterday and I would like to share my findings. The surgery was bad at all, took about 30 minutes, I was numb afterwards so I couldn't feel a thing. Once the numbing wore off it was quite sore but not unbearable. It's getting much better now still sore but...

I still have my tonsils but have not noticed any tonsil stones. I still have my wisdom teeth but I cant take them out yet because I have braces. I don't have heartburn or stuffy nose and I've been drinking more water since the summer. I do have a white/yellow coating on my tongue which I scrape like...

Hi, thanks for sharing your story. I am also cursed with chronic bad breath! If your oral hygiene is excellent, it sounds like you have something which needs medical attention. I would like to know a few things, sorry if I'm being a bit forward! Do you still have your tonsils? Cryptic tonsils can be...

Thank you very much
