I still try sand paper actually. I think it help pull the bacteria from underneath. WHen I do it there is this think white bubbly saliva that comes up. I love this post because I have thought of laser surjery before, must have to find the doctor to do it and see how much it costs,. My tongue papillaes are long and my tongue is becoming fissured
Let me get this straight... You sandpaper your tongue....meowkity1 wrote:I still try sand paper actually. I think it help pull the bacteria from underneath.

Do you really think this can solve your problem or are you going completely bonkers? I wouldn't blame you if you were though..
Where can a general customer buy ZnCl2 solution..? Thanks in advance.aydinmur wrote:
My opinion that is, 6 mM ZnCl2 solution should be given to that person for 1 min rinse. Laser can be a good alternative therapy, If halitosis stops completely even for a little period after ZnCl2 rinse. Otherwise , keep far from laser.

Hi Larc. The patches were too small to notice whether they had a reduced odour on them. Even so, whenever my tongue was smelling it would affect most of my tongue, even the frontal area where the papillae are naturally much more shallower, so in my case, even if I had been foolish enough to do this to my entire tongue, It would probably have been a complete waste of time. I'm sure there would have been some reduction in overall odour, but not enough to justify this act of pure desperation. This is all very much last resort. Most people on here who've had BB for years still havent ruled out TMAU, secondary TMAU or intestinal parasites.
Stange how candida gets so much attention though, without any real evidence that it has anything to do with anything.

Did this tooth give any symptoms, ie was there a stench in that area of your mouth when flossing etc..? Worrying to think that a tooth can be the cause after all. My gums don't stink though. My saliva does.halitosisux wrote: I was lucky because I found that one of my wisdom teeth was causing a stench on my tongue and was probably causing my tonsils to stink too. Once I had the tooth removed the stench was reduced considerably.

I had flossing odours in a number of areas and still do at times.
I have a new theory on this actually. I think that tonsilloliths and the skank that builds up between certain teeth is the combination of two things. One is that dead cells from the tongue break off or get scraped into these crevices where they eventually clump together and soak up the odourous chemicals that are floating around in the mouth. After a day or so, these clumps calcify into harder clumps. The smells are almost identical too, which adds to the likelihood that they are associated.
In my case the pocket around my wisdom tooth was like a cesspit. Saliva wasnt flowing into it, so anaerobic odour-producing bacteria went wild in there, releasing a steady flow of skank into my mouth which led to odour building up all over my tongue. My saliva stunk too. I still get low levels of odour in my saliva and the back of my tongue - but nothing like as bad as before
