Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

Hi Green,

I've been using it for about a year now. My doctor has never mentioned rhinitus, she just gave it to me 'cos I have a deviated septum and it seems to ease the congestion, and also to see if it would improve my bb.

I've had a CT scan done and my ENT couldn't see any sinusitus on it.

Hi Cured, Thanks for your reply, I've since been to a new dentist who took x-rays of my back teeth. All of the roots of my back teeth are well up inside my sinuses, but my dentist says this is perfectly normal (as did my previous dentist). He could also see straight away that my top wisdom teeth are...

Hey Green, I use nasonex steriod spray too. You have to use it for at least three weeks before any effects become evident. I've found that it makes it alot easier for me to breathe through my nose, I don't have any trouble sleeping at night now, due to congestion. I have an odour that comes from my ...

Hi Drastic, He only took x-rays of my upper wisdoms, 'cos that's where I get the bad taste from, but he had a thorough examination of my teeth and he said my bottom teeth look fine. I had my bottom back molars extracted as a kid, and he said they'd all shifted down the jaw correctly and were all in ...

Iva, Thanks for the support, as I said, I'm not going to get too excited until I've actually had the teeth out, then we'll see how it goes... It's so hard not to hope for the best, but I can't allow myself to do this just yet. How long did you suffer with bb? And now it's gone? That's so great for y...

So I went for my dental appointment yesterday. I was expecting to be fobbed off with the usual, your teeth and gums are really healthy...but I told the dentist that I have a bad taste around my top wisdoms, and that I get food stuck up there and the gums can get sore sometimes. He thouroughly examin...

I forgot to mention, I also get a strange nasal odour, particularly when I bend forward. It's not a cheesy smell, it's closer to wet dog, mothballs or a damp umbrella...weird!

Hi Cured, I was wondering if you had any issues with your top wisdom teeth's roots invading your sinuses? My wisdom teeth are easy to clean as they're not crammed into the back of my mouth as I had extractions as a kid. I also don't have any pockets or flaps around these teeth. The only possibility ...

Hi Searching, Do you use a waterpik irrigator? And do you use the gum pocket tip and put this right into your pockets or under the gum, or are you just using a normal tip and using it a few millimetres away from the teeth, pointing it towards the gum? Also, how often do you irrigate with the hydroge...

Hi Searching, Congratulations on getting on top of your bb!! Had you used hydrogen peroxide in the past to clean your tongue or teeth? I've tried it before, but never in the way you've been using it. I recently bought an oral irrigator, I tried it with povidone-iodine without any success, but I'll t...

Drastic, You're right, we need to get off our bums and try and get things looked at properly!!! Easy said than done sometimes with these ENTs and dentists who don't give a crap about us. I'm going to go for a second dental opinion and see if they can find anything wrong, my own dentist just seemed t...

Does anyone here, who is considering having their wisdom teeth pulled, have a smell around the suspect teeth when they floss or rub around them?

Sorry, lol!! I'm not being clear at all am I? I'll try and take some pics over the weekend. I don't think my molar could have snapped when being extracted as surely the remaining bits would have show up on my dental xray. As for the puffiness, someone posted a picture from the internet which looked ...

wnaysha, How can you claim that your routine will cure all causes of bb? I'm not saying your routine hasn't worked for you and won't work for others, but I take offence at your statement that it will work for ALL cases of bb. What if the cause is dental or sinuses related? It won't matter how good y...

Hi Odourfree, That's a really interesting (and scary) story. Has your bb improved since you've had your tooth properly filled? Like you and Halitosisux, my dentist was struck off (or whatever it is they do to dentists who are carrying out un-necessary dental work). She managed to fill almost every t...
