Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

My nephew spent some time in hospial once, and during visits i played around with everything and i had the same thought as you have and tried this. It made no difference to me, i even undid the tube that goes into the mask and fed it up my nostril. But saliva and mucus contain oxygen. I've even meas...

Well firstly, unless a person actually mentions to their dentist they have halitosis, as opposed to just relying on a clean bill of health, the dentist may well leave in a tooth that is a likely potential BB cause. I know because my sister has one and the dentist refuses to give up on it, probably f...

TeamZissou, There's many cases where such structural conditions have gone undetected until crypted tonsils are removed or blocked sinuses unblocked, teeth are yanked out etc and finds out they dont have BB anymore. These are not seriously different in some cases, they can be subtly different. I ment...

Hi Prey, I had my tonsils out age 27 and if it were guaranteed to cure my BB i would have done it myself if necessary. But it did nothing for me. Its an important decision because its far more invasive than i ever expected it to be, and you'll be out of action and in quite serious pain for a number ...

Hi vivian, I've been reading that site, its facsinating. Its sounds very logical that enzymes could play a role in BB, whether directly or indirectly. Afterall TMAU is caused by a specific enzyme deficiency and look at the havoc that causes. I've tried certain digestive enzymes in the past along wit...

TeamZissou, What if there are structural conditions in certain people which favour the presense of bacteria, for instance the sinuses, the tonsils, dentition, etc. Antibiotics would temporarily deal with this, only for the situation to resume because of the structural condition that pre-existed. Act...

Another potential possibility there TeamZissou and not something i've ever seen mentioned as a connection before. It's always hard visualise these mechanisms as to whether they could be root causes themselves or whether they are possibly exacerbating other situations. The trouble is with so many the...

hello melissa, thanks for that too - do u have bb? TeamZissou, thanx for your reply.. I need to recap on this regarding pregnant women and the clues this might have. It was something like i said anyway, and definitely regarding bleeding gums and hormones. This connection with tongue coating and dige...

Hi TeamZissou, welcome to the club we all wish we werent in.. Im a newbie on here too, thanks for sharing your story with us, there's plenty to think about there, and im looking forward to hearing more from you and any discussions that may follow. The concept of hormones or any other biological caus...

Snobuni, I'll be having this tooth out very soon and will keep people posted on my progress and in the meantime sharing my experiences with others on here hoping they may discover some common connections. The reasons why i havent had it done yet even though i've suspected it for years are psychologi...

I dont know whether a dental x-ray would show this, or even any type of scanning.. a lot depends on whoever analyses this too and how open their mind is to such possibilities. If you read about CURED's posting regarding their wisdom teeth it makes u wonder. I guess the only way to know for sure is t...

Hi snobuni, Did you read what i said regarding a possible connection between your teeth and your sinuses? You wouldnt need to have blocked-off sinuses at all and be completely asymptomatic regarding the usual symptoms of something wrong in there (apart from the odour in your PND), but could a wisdom...

Good question asd.. The tooth is as far into the back of my mouth as a tooth could possibly get, like its digging into all the gum at the back there. Because my tongue has the coating and the gunk i just never made the connection to the tooth because it wasnt decayed and no dentist ever told me i ha...

I'm definitely in that category too. It's always made me feel as though its something i was born with, i dont know of any time in my life where i could say i was BB-free apart from this last cpl of weeks focusing on this putrid corner of my mouth near my semi-erupted wisdom tooth. I feel very optimi...

Hi asd.. Yes TMAU definitely requires further investigation for us, if there are genetic causes to what we have there could be many possible explanations working in similar ways to TMAU. have a read of what i was saying to you and Snobuni in my wisdom teeth posting regarding sinuses/pnd.. fortunatel...
