Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

Halitosisux: You make a good point about the potential for structural variations to be a cause. That might be one explaination for why it appears to run in families in some cases. It would probably have to be subtle though, because i've heard of people having x-rays/CT scans/etc. of their head and s...

Yes, i have heard that mucus does not have a smell, but what if it was overly excessive. Specially when i clean my tongue all the way back, almost down my throat (its not easy), i can actually feel stinky stuff dripping down my tongue, kind of taste it. but i think it could be the fact that i am us...

Melissa- Thanks for the reply and suggestions. I also believe that mental health can play a significant role in physical health, and that it needs to be paid attention to. Halitosisux- I hadn't heard that about the gums of pregnant women. I can't think of a logical reason for why that would happen. ...

Hi everyone. I've lurked here for awhile now and can completely empathize with what you're all going through. Like many of you, I began experiencing BB sometime around age 14 or 15, and am now 22.
