All Day Fresh!!! Finally!!
Posted: Thu Nov 09, 2017 12:37 pm
Well guys I can FINALLY say after over 40 years....I am all day fresh!! I knew that my smell was due to an overrun of bad bacteria in my mouth, so I knew I had to clear it, disinfect, and make my mouth uninhabitable for repopulation.
To clear it, I floss my teeth three times per day with dental tape (not floss which is thinner) and the turning point for me was flossing between my last back teeth and the gum. It was tight and I had to force the floss in the space. It was painful and my teeth bled but there was a lot of smelly bacteria. After a week the pain went away. Floss between EVERY tooth and smell the floss...if it stinks, keep flossing the same area until there is no smell. Use a clean piece of floss for every space!!!
To disinfect I brush my teeth with Colgate Total. After experimenting with bleach, chlorhexedrine, cetylperidine, I've found the triclosan in Colgate total works best for me.
After brushing, I make a paste of baking soda, two drops oregano oil and two drops of thyme oil (you may not need oil experiment what works best for you) and a little water. I smear the mixture all over my tongue and let it sit while I wash my face. At night, I add sea salt to the mixture. After washing my face, I take my ora brush and brush my tongue reaching all the way to the back. I keep brushing until my tongue is pink. (I have very little to brush off now) I then add water to the remaining mixture, stir and gargle until all gone. The baking soda keeps your mouth alkaline an environment the bad bacteria cant survive in. It also neutralizes the acids produced by the bacteria (this is what gives our mouth the sour vinegary smell) Baking soda may make your mouth taste fishy at first but don't stop...the fishy taste will go away. This comes from the baking soda interacting with a lot of bacteria.
Do the above three times per day if you can. If you can't in the middle of the day, at least try to swish with baking soda water after eating.
To stop the bacteria from repopulating, STOP all sugar dairy and carbs at least until you get back to normal. The bad bacteria feeds off of this and will grow back. It's like adding gasoline to the fire. You have to starve the bacteria. This is why many of us brush and have a tongue coat within 30mins to an hour. Don't feed the bacteria!!!
I have been doing the above for the past six weeks and I have no tongue coat, fresh breath all day ( unless I'm very hungry) and very little morning breath. My tongue is pink even in the morning. I have had a tongue coating all my life!!! Again my turning point was flossing the very back teeth. Even my dental hygienist missed those spaces.
Be persistent, it may take a week or two before you see results and please no carbs and sugar. Snack on nuts. I eat meat, nuts, green veggies and oranges. My breath is neutral after eating for the first time in my life!!!
Good luck to all!!
