Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

Greetings Hank, Allergies could explain a lot of things, but as a cause of bad breath they're very, very low on the totem pole of possibilities. To put that into perspective, if the chance that your bad breath is caused by bacteria sitting on the rear tongue is 90%, the chance that it could be cause...

Cured7, Be careful that you're accounting sufficiently for the fact that people close to you (family, friends) get used to your breath, even when it's bad after years they may no longer be able to detect it as bad even if they react to it. Before I was cured of my problem, I would ask my brother and...

Greetings Elliott, Sorry, but I still firmly believe that if chewing gum makes your existing , presently detectable bad breath worse or more pungent that it is indicative of some dental/oral problem (unless it's originating the bad breath because it's drying your mouth after a while of chewing). eng...

(not perfect english..but Ihope you get the idea). Yeah I hade a wisdom teeth which secreted a very strength odor,and I went to dentist and they pulled itout, now the hole where the teeth use to be doesn't smell any longer, one problem solved,( but I still have halitosis), so If you have a wisdom t...

Hey there, love to know whether the tooth responsible in your case was an upper or lower tooth, and whether you think it might have been related to an invaded sinus. In my case I think all four were problematic, but the ones I blame the most are my two lowers, and I could never pinpoint which of tho...

Before I had my wisdom teeth out one of the oddest features of my bad breath was that it often became more detectable and pungent to others when I chewed on a piece of gum or a soft mint. Now I know the chewing action was 'kicking up' the debris lodged deep out of brushing/flossing reach between my ...

I addressed this in my original and following posts...

Can you tell me if you went to a dentist or a periodontist? I've never seen a periodonist, but yes, I went to dentist regularly...well...in the past couple years when I didn't have insurance I'd only go maybe twice a year...certainly not less than once a year though. Did you have any pain or bitter...

I say this because some dentist dont check us thoroughly yet they yell us allis well. This I would agree 100% with...and I would say most dentists don't know how to properly diagnose and treat this problem...a clean bill of health from a dentist or ENT is meaningless when you have it... As for me, ...

I had wisdoms extracted to no avail. Hopefully you didn't do that as a result of reading my story, and if you did, you shouldn't have. I'd never advise anyone who hasn't even tried retardex or other name brand mouthwashes to have them out to cure bad breath, and certainly not someone who could be c...

Just to say that having your tonsils out might not be the answer. I'm just worried that people are going to make a big pay out and still have bb but less money in the bank. Agreed, especially as that was not the answer for me. But if life is really as bad as these people make it sound, it will be w...

I know that I asked you this a thousand timesbut please reassure me. but do friends comment on any changes in your breath since the tonsillectomy. Any reactions in public? My tonsillectomy made no noticeable change in my breath odor, unfortunately. It kind of had a placebo effect on me for about th...

waterpiked my tonsils This isn't going to do anything for you...especially not if your tonsils have deep crypts like mine did. Not to be mean or beat up on you when you're already down, Dave, but I do have to say I am amazed at the number of people who (it's far from just you, Dave, so don't take i...

what normal people would think that bad breath was ruining someones life....if u told them that, they'd prolly say go brush ur teeth or go to a dentist....thanks a lot....i have better oral hygeine than u asshole, nothing fuckin works!!!!! . Exactly, totally feel you on that one Dave. Seen from tha...

Do you think my problem is about my tonsil or nose? I don't know which surgery I should have first, septum or tonsils? Just by pure statistics it's a no-brainer that a tonsillectomy would have the greatest chance by far of the two procedures at eliminating your bad breath, if it's going to happen a...
