Has anyone taken Metronidazole (antibiotic)?

Hmmm time to do research on wisdom teeth? when do they come out exactly? They tend to come out in early teens

[halitosisux]

Yes, they start erupting from 15 years onwards normally - which is a time that seems to coincide with many people's awareness of the onset of a BB problem. For anyone with CH this apparent connection alone is too much of a coincidence to be ignored and has to be seriously considered.

Hi guys,

Sounds interesting gonna try the triple therapy
with
Omeprazole 20mg, Clarithomycin 500mg, Metronidazole 500mg.

Will you be taking the probiotics with the triple therapy or after

[Snobuni]

I'm going to delay my HP treatment until after my ENT appointment at the end of the month.

Could I ask the other people who are trying the triple therapy, do you have nasal bb/smelly mucous? Do the antibiotics get rid of this whilst you're taking the antibiotics? How long are your treatments for, 7, 10 or 14 days?

Keep us posted about how well this works, particularly after you've finished your courses.

Good luck!

" I think it is possible that wisdom teeth could play a role in bad breath-chronic bad breath. When pockets form around the wisdom teeth they can be host a lot of bacteria. I think wisdom teeth are a great possibility. "



I had both my bottom wisdom teeth extracted and it did nothing 4 my breath!

I had one of my bottom wisdom teeth out and 22+ years of BB were wiped out.

hey halitosisux...check you private mail...i have one wisdom tooth that is partially out and one which is convered totally underneath the gums but at an elevated level...so i only need to take out the one that is partially out of the gums...and thats the one you are referring to as partially impacted? lemme know as i have an appointment with the wisdom tooth doc this wed. thanks.

[halitosisux]

hello.. oops, i replied to your email before i saw your posting..
Yes, i had 2 upper wisdom teeth out many years ago, leaving 2 bottom teeth in. One was horizontally impacted (left side) and completely under the gum as you describe too. The other was partially impacted and 75% erupted, but under lots of gum and tissue, this is the tooth i had extracted and responsible for the odours. The other tooth is still in, and i intend to have that done in hospital eventually, but it doesnt give me any problems at all.
Does the tooth you intend to have out produce foul odours?

[halitosisux]

Hello, check your email, ive sent the photo you asked for, let me know on here if you got it please.

[hello]

hey thanks alot for the picture...i was wondering what do you cosider as as the pockets where the bacteria hides...the tissues surrounding the wisdom tooth...plus i tried to gently squeeze the tissues around my wisdom tooth, can't seem to be able to tell whether an odour comes out from there or not.

[halitosisux]

hello.. yw,
Yes the whole crown of the tooth on its far side, covered in gum and tissues which dont adhere to enamel, so it forms a pocket where bacteria are free to go wild. I could push a syringe over a centimetre into that pocket.
I never had to try hard when i rubbed a finger, foul crap was constantly discharging from there. Try to imagine, every time my jaw moved, it acted like a pump which forced this stuff in and out, keeping my mouth like a sewer and the bacteria well-fed on saliva/dead cells/food debris/etc.
See what your dentist reckons. Solving BB requires trial and error, and taking out suspect molars is nothing compared to other more drastic steps like tonsillectomy. So if in any doubt, have them out!
