Brushing is useless when it comes to BB..

[bbsux]

For those that brush your teeth 4-5 times a day so it can help your breath, you are wasting your time... brushing might prevent cavities but it does nothing for bb.. Only time itll help is if you eat garlic or stinky food..

Check this out...

My mom never brushes her teeth, hasnt brushed her teeth in 20+ years. She barely has any teeth and the ones she has are all black... She doesnt even know what mouthwash is.... and guess what SHE HAS NO BB. She is afraid of dentist so she never went to one.

My sister, only brushes once a day... She never flosses or uses mouthwash .. she has a black tooth in front that clearly shows there is a cavity there. Guess what she never has BB ... same people that give me reactions dont do anything when my family talks to them.

Furthermore they take a shower 3-4 times a week and they dont stink...

Me, i take shower 7days a week, EVERY MORNING! I brush twice a day and floss at night, i go to dentist for cleaning every 6 months and fixed all my cavities. Guess what, i have such BB that sometime when i talk to people they start COUGHING as soon as i say something to them. Even if i dont talk , i come in the room and the room starts to STINK! I have no idea if the smell is coming from my body or my nose or both..

Face it guys there is something wrong with our bodies inside the stomach, sinus, or maybe even we have allergies. Maybe we are allergic to something that causes us to have PND which in turn causes us to have bb or nasal odor. Maybe we have some bad bacteria overgrowth in back of our mouth that usual people dont have.. I am sure that what we have can be easily cured with right medication but problem is we dont know which one. One thing is for sure, if you have bb or stink its probobly not because of you hygiene or lack of brushing.

That's a bit like saying smoking doesnt cause cancer because one person got away with smoking 80-a-day and reached 100 years old.

What you said about your family members depends on so many factors, particularly the individual composition of oral bacteria, but also the chemistry of the mouth, genetics etc. My nephews who are in their teens, they normally dont have bad breath, but sometimes, until they've brushed their teeth, they'll have mild BB.

And dental causes of BB are mostly due to gum problems not the teeth themselves. This isnt just some myth its FACT. And in your particular case at least you know you can rule dental causes out with good certainty.

I know what you mean.

Coming from a person with chronic halitosis, yes... you can brush until your "blue" (get it? LOL) in the face, but the odor still seeps from deeper within.

You do have to take care of your teeth, though. Plaque buildup and all that crap will only exasperate the issue. Even if you know that the odor is exhaled from your gut, you don't know what happens when that internal heat or gas reacts with your normal oral bacteria.
