I've used the tung brush and gel with no progress. Also the ora brush and tongue foam. Considering that once your brain gets used to a smell, if were making improvements, I would think that I'll be able to smell my 'new' bb? ? I'm scared its more complicated than I thought. I know my problem was due to poor oral hygiene but if I corrected it and took better care of myself I thought it would go away? Can anyone shed light on this

The reason I asked is because if cleaning the tongue with such a product doesn't improve your breath at all, then at least this means that your BB is unlikely to be originating from your tongue. I know that's not much help, but at least you can rule out the tongue as the source of your odour, which, when trying to find the cause of BB, can help guide you to your actual cause.

That's what I was afraid of. I wanted it to be my tongue but for simple reasons but I'm not too broken. Thanks for the help! I feel I get ignored often so I'm thankful u tried to help. I have one more question, if I don't have tonsil stones or anything else wrong with me,where can my bb be coming from?

I don't think PND alone is a cause of bad breath, but I do think it's exacerbative if there's a bacterial problem relating to any bad breath coming from the tongue. It's a bit like eating egg or protein when you have BB. People who don't generally have BB won't suddenly have BB when they eat some protein. These people would also not have BB when they have allergies or colds - people I come across all the time, with breath as fresh as mountain air. Of course it's a different story if the PND is associated with some kind of infection somewhere or it carries the odour from somewhere else like the sinuses.
Skank taste from the throat, when everywhere else seems ok, makes me think tonsil stones?
@oneday, if you feel you're being ignored, ask again. We all feel like we're being ignored at times, but we must not allow that to get to us. It's not intentional from anyone, just sometimes we all leave it to someone else to answer and then nobody does and we end up forgetting.

My case of bb has 2 problem zones:
1. My tongue (especially the back of the tongue) smells like sh*t if I don't use Tung Brush + Gel
2. I have a problem with tonsil stones. You say you sometimes have a foul taste in your throat. Me too! usually I have it when I swallow, then this foul taste is there for a couple of seconds and then it goes away. Yesterday it was really bad and I took a flashlight and saw a white tonsil stone hiding in the tonsil area on the right. I took it out and boy does it smell like sh*t!
However, there is no doubt in my mind that this is the cause for the foul taste I get when I swallow.
I really need to get my tonsils removed but had no time to see a doctor til now. I have more time now and will make an appointment tomorrow.
Did you already have your tonsils removed? If not, how can you be sure that the foul taste is not coming from tonsil stones? These suckers can have pretty good hiding places and it's really hard to reach. I once spend about 30 min in front of the mirror to find one tiny one. The point is, just because you don't see them, doesn't mean they aren't there.
