Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

Is it obvious if you have a tooth infection?

Many years ago my top rear molar losts it filling which was not replaced till a month later. Could something have gotten I side and started to rot/get infected despite being filled later? I cant see or smell anything around there so am I barking up ...

lmao OneDay and his severe dislike for rootcanals haha

I'm sure active tooth decay does, but not a root canal that is uninfected/in working order lol. But, root canals have the tendency to get infected, and if a rootcanal does cause BB.. it's probably because of an infection! Make sure you check your mouth for some tiny holes haha, I didn't realize mine ...

Also, this could be a reason why people are cured with pro-biotics?

Aydinmur: I had a hole from the tooth infection draining into my mouth, I didn't notice it until I read a post about someone who was cured after discovering a hole! But this note on infections is really interesting and could shed light on different issues... if an infection is asymptomatic, then ...

If you get vague reactions then don`t think about it. Just continue with your life.

After a life-time of halitosis, that could be easier said than done.


Well said. I know I had halitosis at one point, I don't know when it disappeared, I think I actually only had it for two years lol, but I am ...

btw Hal, how bad was yours? could you smell it a couple feet away?

the taste in my mouth is amazing! lol, it's very neutral... I can eat a meal and not have an odd taste in my mouth, well not as bad as it was before! so that was definitely the cause of my nast taste.

Also, I'm still finding it hard to speak to people and not notice every single reaction around me ...

My cousin's an internist doctor, and he gave me some tips on BB... much of it is things you all probably already know, but one tip that I didn't really think of was that lack of sleep often triggers upper respiratory infections, hence why I get the worst BB after my finals all-nighters! I get a ...

I don't think I'll ever feel comfortable with my breath still though, something to definitely get over.. hopefully after these extractions heal, I'll be a bit more confident in myself

I have! In the past when I was 13 - probably 9th grade, and when I hit 10th I'm ASSUMING i(looking back?) is when it stopped. My siblings would make fun of me, my uncle told my mom concerned, and my friends would laugh and poke fun. I also could smell it!

Btw, sorry for this UNBELIEVABLY long post which is probably riddled with spelling errors, I wrote it so sporadically. Ps. this also sheds light to those who are taking other medication that could be causing bad breath, guaranteed you will get the DRIEST mouth with rit, I drank litres of water and ...

I am so unbelievably happy to be writing this, absolutely 100% BIZARRE. So, for the past SIX years of my life, I have thought I had horrid breath.. so much to the point that when I was 13, I almost took my life because it was so debilitating. I could never talk to people in cars, I envied when ...

i had an infected tooth removed last week, and I also had my last wisdom tooth (bottom right) removed 3 days ago. I noticed the taste in my mouth improved 100%, but I also noticed that my throat is starting to smell, whereas this was a rare occasion before? I know my mouth will smell during the ...

Can a tooth infection cause chronic BB? How long can you have an infection and not feel pain or notice sweilling in the area? I discovered I had a tooth infection in my upper left molar that was quite near to my sinuses, and my bb started when I was 13. I'm just had my wisdom tooth out as well as ...
