Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

my tongue base smells terrible, but i dont have any odour from my nose at all. This has been confirmed by several different people. I know people who dont have any BB, but if they put their fingers back there it smells. how weird. Maybe the types of bacteria and the chemicals/gasses they produce sol...

Hi Larc400, Do tongue papillae not extend mostly all the way down to the tongue base? Is this stench we all seem to have back there not simply natural bacterial activity essential for digestive purposes, which for some reason smells so strong on us that others can perceive it in our breath? Does any...

damn i'd love to probe her lol

I think i'll eat my chinese takeaway first before i view that video.

Hi TeamZissou, Regarding the connection with this and BB, from what i understand, a person with acid reflux has a very characteristic BB odour which doctors can instantly recognise. There's a good possibility that a mild case of reflux could exacerbate BB caused by other reasons. Worth looking into....

:-k Hi Snobuni, i've never dared look that far back lol, but i'll stick some batteries in my torch after and see what i can find back there. Just joking tho, i've seen those V shaped taste buds but nothing that looks as unusual as u describe. How much of a pea-sized object is protruding? If this was...

Hi bbsux, Give your ongoing treatment a chance to work. I hope you find relief eventually. You mention about having PND - did this coincide with your problems you are having or have u always had PND? Is it odourless or does it smell too? If it coincided with your problems then your sinus problem cle...

This sounds obvious, but when the smell is coming from the nose, which you seem to suspect, its usually caused by a sinus or nasal infection of some sort. It could be coming from your lungs, but since you said you've seen a doctor she would know. Please read my other replies to you. You only went to...

whoops bbsux, i saw your other posting describing your job situation before seeing this one, but you didnt mention your BB history in there or what you've tried doing about it. For your doctor to be prescribing antibiotics for a sinus problem, i guess you must be having sinus symptoms. DONT PANICK!!...

how about seeing a doctor?

Hi Sean, Im wondering about lingual tonsils too, having also had my palatine tonsils removed. That whole area there seems to be the epicentre and it would make sense. But it is also the area with the least abrasion, and a perfect home for germs. Hard to know if these tonsils themselves are capable o...

Hi Coeric, Look at metronidazole as a kind of magic mouthwash. All you are doing is killing the bacteria. The reason for the BB is still there, so the bacteria readily resume once the effect wears off. Maybe the lucky few who appear to have a permanent effect have, by chance, eliminated a chronic in...

heck what do you do when you score and everyone wants to kiss? you must be supremely fit from all the running (away) lol

I would love to chat in real-time, i keep checking on sundays but never see anyone around or maybe im doing something wrong with that chat thing? If anyone else is interested plz mention it and lets organise something. If anyone would just like to pm please feel free.

Hi Snobuni, On another posting somewhere i mentioned something regarding pregnancy and halitosis. If i remember correctly, due to hormonal effects, the gums can swell and has a similar effect to having gum disease. Its very likely that anywhere saliva cant get to in the mouth will harbour odour prod...
