Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

Many people have this.In the morning after we eat the breath is mild.After lunch the breath is worst,also in the evening.The breath is better when we eat,but not that good for those of us that have chronic halitosis,how to reduce that,and how to reduce patogenic bacteria-diet doesn't help,also chlorxedine digluconate doesn't help and if i use it after one hour i have awfull smell from mouth.Maybe we should eat 5 times per day in small amounts,that only reduce i think the worst bad breath,not the whole problem.

Yes, I agree. When I eat I don't feel any BB, feel really confident. The fact is that the food neutralize the BB, the mouth chemistry. But this only carry on for about 2 hours........... When I eat I feel really confident.

And I can see a difference in breath compared to the morning and afternoon, but I think is because I have to go to school in the morning, social life, so my anxiety level increases and my BB gets worse, or at least I believe so, because of halitophobia and paranoia........... in afternoom I stay home, so I don't stay thinking about BB all the time, it definitely make a change

I have tested for those bacteria below the gums and i have a lot and that's my problem.I only floss and rinse with water and it's a little better.All toothpastes makes my mouth like I have a chemical bomb in my mouth and feel awful taste.If i can't smell my breath does that mean that the problem is only oral-gum disease in my case.Maybe i can see the difference between morning and afternoon-that;s because at work I have more hours without eating in the afternoon.And at work the levels of halitophobia are high-that increase the problem.

I do believe that my breath is the worst in the morning. But how do I know, I can't smell it. I think I have bb 24/7. I live alone. I usually don't find out until after I leave the house and then I forced to speak. Sometimes I want to use sign language or write notes to ask 4 what I want.
