Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

I will be removing my adenoids shortly too. Been suffering from BB for years and thought that removing my Tonsil cured me. However it only improved it by about 60%.

Im hoping the adenoids is the missing link.

My BB comes only when I speak from the mouth. I can breathe through the nose fine ...

I have recently been brushing with Corsodyl toothpaste and using baking soda as a mouthwash. These two products are pretty much salt I believe. Have been getting ok results. Worth a try for anyone in the UK

Was it obvious that you needed your filling replaced or did you do this on your own accord?

Did it smell around that tooth when flossing?

How does someone know whether to replace their amalgam filling or any other filling?

Dentists dont seem to be able to recognise any issue in my mouth not even ...

The carb free diet (Atkins diet) is renown for causing bad breath.

In fact a lot of people stop their atkins diet because they get bb.

Do you have tonsil stones?

If not then dont proceed. If you have tonsil stones then your finger should smell very very bad when pressed against the tonsils.

Are your tonsils full of crypts? Again if they are they should also smell bad when touched due to food and bacteria accumulating in them.

Why is retardex a specialised product yet makes the condition it is suppose to help worse?

I have always felt my bb was worse using retardex mouthwash and toothpaste but kept on using them because I thought it must help my bb even though my mouth felt less fresh.

After a while I just couldnt ...

I have just ordered chorophyll liquid and tablets.

Have you tried these before your smoothie?

A smoothie isnt practical for me during the weekday so I am hoping the cholorphyll liquid and tablets will suffice.

Will try the smoothie on the weekend though.

Just an update.

I can say that the metronidazole has definitely helped me but I am still not sure if I am BB free.

I no longer feel like I have BB anymore as my mouth always feels fresh even when I wake in the morning. It is this fact of feeling fresh first thing in the morning which makes me ...

I had tonsillectomy 8 months ago and it improved my BB about 70%. When ever I brush my teeth back then I couldnt never be free from BB. After the tonsillectomy, I am BB free after brushing but the BB comes back after a few hours.

The worst thing for me before the tonsillectomy was when I yawned ...

How long did it take for you to feel the effects of B12?

I have read it could take a couple of months.

I have started taking 1000mcg per day but in a swallowed tablet form. Couldnt find the sublingual form in my store.

Biotene is one.

Just go to your doc and say that you have recently recovered from another tonsil infection. Says its the fourth this year and you get it every year and are fed up with it so you would like them out.

My doc was willing to put me through the NHS but as I have private healthcare through my work I ...

From my experience this is what I would do:

Do you have smelly tonsil stones? If so get a Tonsillectomy. Following my tonsillectomy my bad breath reduced by about 70%.

Do you have impacted wisdom teeth where bacteria can be hiding under gum flaps? If so remove it.

Next check that the rest of ...

Just make an appointment with him and say that you have just recovered from another throat infection and that as you frequently get throat infections which cause puss to build up in the tonsils you want to have them removed.

State a frequency like 4 times a year every year.

He will then approve ...

Just wondered what people have found as the best toothpaste and mouthwash product they have found to reduce or slightly control their BB.

I have tried many different types but have yet to find a decent combo.

I am in the UK and have tried:

Arm and Hammer Baking Soda with Calcium
Colgate Maxfresh ...
