chlorhexidine can only be used for a few days and is not a cure because it does not correct the ecology.

Which is a very good argument for a 3 step process: antibiotic rinses, followed by chlorhexadine rinses, followed by dental probiotics.

@ stevian The tongue is a rough surface, rich in papillae. The surface of the tongue, when stretched, is as large as that of an iPad. This surface is difficult to clean. It is also humid. The ideal place where bacteria can live and multiply. The tongue is the reservoir that collects bacteria, but i...

@ telpar I wrote: Where do our bacteria some from? I guess that’s what you mean by origin? We get them from other people, including from mama, when we pass through her birth canal. Those born by Caesarean section are not so affected. Yes, oral bacteria are contagious, and some strains may be patheno...

@stevian It's a pleasure for me to talk with you :) Doubtless the cysteine challenge test is valuable in a research environment, but from what little I can discern through Google, it may require very specific equipment and training, and isn’t technologically ready to install in a typical dental pra...

I'm sad to report that after trying turmeric for a few months it eventually stopped working and the bad breath returned. It did seem to work for a month or two but like a lot of other treatments it didn't last. I am on another treatment at the moment which I don't even remember how I came upon it. ...

@ telpar Not necessarily. If I go to any dentist or medical doctor in my metro area, likely they’ll have no idea what a cysteine challenge is, nor be at all interested in finding out. This is very obscure information for most dental or medical practitioners, and in any case it’s totally unnecessary...

@ Tee Have you ever had any oral microbiology work done? I’m having oral swabs tested at a lab in Toronto. Should have some analysis in a week or so. $110 to take the samples and ship them. Lab fee $200. $310 in Canadian dollars. About $250 USD. Yes, there at least hundreds of strains of bacteria in...

Looks to me this is about mouth breathing, also known as mouth breathing syndrome.
Yeah, of course too much mouth breathing dries out the mouth, and smelly anaerobic oral bacteria love a dry mouth.
Look up dry mouth syndrome. It may be a part or most of your individual bb case.

@ Badluck01 I’m not pretending to offer medical advice, and not necessarily to do with bb, but I solved my constipation (and ibs) with added dietary fiber and exercise. Not sure if those would help your case,but it does help many people. I also solved my GERD by losing about 100 lb of body weight. N...

No reply. It means, I suppose, you think I'm going to waste time. :D There’s a saying about wasting time, telling people this or that is a waste of time, etc. “Tell you what, I’ll let you waste your time your way, if you let me waste my time my way.” Another way of saying or suggesting that in the ...

@ Jimi

Nah, it’s a few hundred, not a few thousand, and I’m keeping an open mind about it.What’s a normal price for an antibiotic oral rinse anyway?

@ Badluck01 I read so often that people are attributing their bb to dietary factors, digestive issues, and/or nasal/sinus issues, like post-nasal drip. Any or all may be factors in a particular case, but a none of these contribute a fecal odor. A fecal breath odor is caused by anaerobic bacteria in ...

@ Hoodlumhoe
I made an appointment with one of Dr Hyland’s associate practitioners for this Wednesday, so I should have something to report within the next few weeks, make that several weeks.

There’s also a tongue cleaning process called Laser Tongue Debridement, also known as Laser Tongue Rejuvenation, using a combination of laser and high pressure water jet. This may take several visits and cost thousands of dollars. There’re at least 2 clinics in the US that offer this, and I think on...
