Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

This is great news. I just made a $99 contribution so they'll ship me one in August. Not having reliable bb feedback has been the biggest problem with finding a cure. This device may allow us to get the feedback we need to scientifically find what techniques are working and what aren't. Lately I've ...

COQ10 is known to prevent and possibly cure gingivitis and periodontitis (gum disease). This may explain why it helps with bad breath. I'm taking 60mg a day to see if it helps with the smell I get on some teeth when I floss. Oddly this smell seems to move around over time. Right now it's on the two ...

I ended up getting sick from this product so I quit taking it. I got over the cold by taking goldenseal tincture. As a test, I tried it again yesterday. Ended up coughing through the night. So there's definitely something wrong with this product. It irritates the lungs. Don't take it. I switched to ...

I'm currently trying Sodium Copper Chlorophyllin which is supposed to reduce bb. I'm using this brand: "KAL Chlorophyll", which is 100% chlorophyllin. See link below. What's weird is that it's causing a flu-like detox reaction: a dry cough and scratchy throat. I'm taking just one 20mg tabl...

Update: I stopped using Peroxyl since it was starting to make my teeth sensitive.

Now I'm using OraWellness "Healthy Mouth Blend" essential oils instead of toothpaste. It helps to heal the gums and prevent gum disease. It also seems to slow down the plaque buildup between brushing.

I'm sure this isn't the cause for many bb suferrers here, but if you detect a persistent smell from certain teeth when flossing, it's worth having your dentist check out the tooth.

I think a major source of my chronic bb has been removed. An old plastic (composite) filling came loose (which has since been replaced with a ceramic crown.) The filling was infected and acted like a bacteria factory. It was a large filling between two molars. I didn't even know it was there. I had ...

I've been rinsing and gargling with a little Epsom salts in water. It cleared up my sore gums. Now I can use the water pik on high with no pain. I've also been using a very small amount of epsom salts mixed with the standard salt/baking soda packet in the neti pot. Don't use too much or it will stin...

Maybe it just was low on oxygen.

I ordered some periogen and a pik-pocket tip for my waterpik. I think my gums are a major source of bb since the floss starts to smell if I skip even one day of waterpiking. This product does contain fluoride (.04%), which I hope isn't a problem since I'm sensitive to fluoride rinses. Another thing ...

realized i had BB when i was 7 yrs old. Had sinuse surgery about 10 yrs ago , it helped my sinuses drain alot better , then i ended up having wisdom teeth , adenoid, tonsilectomy about 5 yrs ago. I still have a bad taste in my mouth my dentist says teeth and gums are in excellent health, and i brus...

I think the lactoferrin works better when I break open a capsule and dissolve in water. It tastes fine, kind of like milk or whey.

HopefulOne, thanks for the info about lactoferrin. I started it today. Do you take it on an empty stomach or with meals? Hopefully it's effective either way.

My tonsils and wisdom teeth are out but it wasn't a cure for me. I have also been taking mastic gum, but it hasn't helped with the bb.

I've been using Corsodyl mint mouthwash (0.2% CHG) for about 3 months now. I buy it through Amazon from the UK, so I don't need a prescription. One thing I like about this product is that there are no artificial colors or flavors. I haven't noticed any tooth sensitivity from it. It does alter taste ...

I had a tonsillectomy in 2011, but no cure once the antibiotics wore off. It's good not to have tonsil stones, but I still have a problem with a clump of infected mucus collecting in the back of my throat. Only a neti pot rinse can get it out. It doesn't smell as bad as a tonsil stone, so the tonsil...
