Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

Compor, do you own a waterpik?

Im uber stoked that it's working for you It worked wonders for a couple of months then its effect diminished over time. However, i still use it here and there along with my waterpik which made a great combination in managing my bb.

People are too polite to tell you. Even the doctors won't admit it. X10000000000. On the other hand, people that fail to realize this simple fact should keep an open mind that this maybe the case. No one wants to say it to your face your breath slays Godzilla. To definitely test for bb go to a dent...

I work in the hospital and this is nothing new. Some strains of bac developed resistant to antibiotics. While other can be suppressed with meds but as soon as you stip taking the meds the population rebounds. I recently read online where a lady died of an infection because the bac she had developed ...

It very well could be the culprit. However ive heard many ppl suffered from PND but once they get that fixed bb didnt go away. Without definitive testings it's rather difficult to pin point the source. For awhile i thought my GERD was the source too but turned out it wasnt. Just something for you to...

I doubt very much halitosis is hereditary ( just cuz ur parents have bb doesnt mean u got it from them) but i cant prove it and no one can disprove it either. Sure germs are passed down from mothers howevers those germs in birth canal arent exactly the same ones in our oral cavities in most cases. A...

Have you tried using a waterpik? It's been a life saver for me since i started using it about 2 months ago. If you have bacteria imbalance in your mouth specifically your tonsils, then i highly recommend you to get one. It will blast all the bad guys with a jet of water from the crevices of your tee...

So what's your situation? Have you done any testings,treatments, etc? Have you locate the source of your bb? Give up a brief rundown of your history. Maybe we could offer some sound advice.

If you killed all the bac in your body, you'd be dead as we all need bacteria to aid us digest food, fight off infection and help cells do their job. I know a thing or two about microbe, i work in the OR

1 out of four has it and im not talking about transient bb. Not "that" uncommon. As for bac translocation, sure, that's fundamental science. However in some cases it's quite a challenge for microbe to migrate to a certain part of your body and evict the resident bacteria. Not gonna happen ...

Yes and no. Bacteria have different capability to colonize ,also called bacterial adhesion ,is different from strain to strain. That's why you only see a certain types in the gut that do not exist in the mouth cavity. And vice versa. Oral probiotics are designed for the gut and i suspect they cant a...

I do get your point. However due to its proximity, most bb originate from the mouth. The oral cavity has a mutitude of palaces where bb bacteria can hide. The gum, pharynx, teeth, tounge, tonsils, cheeks, plague, etc. When one talks the mechanism includes the lungs, pharynx and ....Guess where else?...

In the past i used oral probiotics but not long enough to make a stance. I, however, readily admit bb for any given person can originate from anywhere, but collectively chances are they come from the mouth. BOL!

You both are dead wrong. People get relief for a few days mostly because a) their inability to extricate the bacteria from their stronghold for whatever reason b) the resident bacteria are superbugs meaning they have the ability to form a resistant to x treatment. C) the bacteria in question are ove...

Im not saying it isnt , but c'mon folks! Have't we learned anything? 85-95% of bb comes from the mouth. The other 5-15% comes from else where. If you were a gambler, where would you stack your money? No one here claims to be an bb expert(GOD) but numbers don't lie. If bb were a betting sporting even...
