Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

So I have been doing a flossing/hydrogen peroxide/probiotics routine lately (I posted about it on this forum) and it has been helping. I don't think my bb has even been that bad in the first place, but while chewing gum I noticed that if I breathe into my hands and smell it smells like gum for 1-2 hours after putting the piece into my mouth. Does this mean that my breath indeed smells like chewing gum during this period, or does it just mean that I can smell the gum but everyone else still smells the bb.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

The reason sugarfree gums contains xylitol is that xylitol inhibits bacterial activity. That stops them from attacking the teeth. And it will also stop them from producing gases. Depending on how severe and where the bb is coming from etc that can be enough to rid it for a few hours.
