WHO IS CURED WITH THE HELP OF OUR SITE?

Jimi, banning her might be hasty. Maybe she's been living BB free and hasn't checked her alt email where the BB forum mails are sent..

I've been gone from this forum for more than two months at a time... Maybe she's not cured, but she just needed a break. The forum is very very helpful, but sometimes I step away, just so it's not the only thing I think about, even during the times I'm alone, at home (which is the only place I can truly relax)

I bet she'll be back sometime.

come on dude, that is so irresponsible, she got help from our site and now she just does not care, she might scam us, and telling she has a secret cure from her dentist about her tongue, smells like scam or snakeoil sale

i want to ban her so much, i give her few more days

A few years ago my mum, who had suffered with BB for as long as i could remember, had all her teeth out and her BB was gone. This made me think that this problem might not be something i was born with afterall. Then by chance i did an internet search and found cured's wisdom tooth thread, and began researching again and within a couple of months had my tooth out and im now 100% cured.

are u cured now???

I used to have the most horrendous smelling tongue until I removed my right lower wisdom tooth that was producing foul discharge from the gum because the tooth had a huge gum pocket at the back because it was impacted and half sunken into the gum and tissues at the back of my mouth. I still have very low levels of odour at the back of my tongue occasionally. But recently I noticed that my lower left horizontally impacted wisdom tooth which has a small hole on the gum where it's barely starting to come through the gum has some odour, almost like tonsil stone odour when I rub it. So I've decided I'm going to have it removed because I dont want to risk it getting worse as I get older as I'm sure it will do with the hole that's there.

hmm.. that is interesting (that smells can come from small holes). i have a few molars that are in rough shape (i had very bad teeth as a child). i was told these teeth are softer than others and is prone to chipping. i also have porcelain veneers on my teeth. could these also be a cause of bb (bacteria hidden in crevices)?

Sure, but if it was just crevices in your teeth, wouldn't mouthwash take care of your problem pretty easily? Try using mouthwash vigorously a few times a day and see if that does anything for you.

The crevices might add to the problem, but I don't think they are the problem.

Any sort of gum problem can cause BB. For me the biggest factor was that where my wisdom tooth sat, the gum around it that was forming a pocket kinda moved like a pump every time my jaw moved. So you can imagine a constant cycle of bacteria and nutrients going in and skank moving out. Where this hole is on my other wisdom tooth, the gum doesn't move around as much so there's no constant discharge coming from it, except when I manipulate it with my finger.

It's much harder to say with teeth themselves, but the inside of a tooth is made of living material that can rot and individual teeth can give off bad odour if they're infected in some way. Veneers, caps fillings and crowns can all fail and cause a stench. Using mouthwash to disinfect them probably wont last very long because bacteria will quickly get back in and you'd be back to square one. Apparently there's a chemical that dentists can apply to teeth that can visually show if odour is being produced from a tooth.

I used to have a wisdom tooth on the bottom left side that caused bb, partly because it's only about 1/2 way out but there's just not enough space for it to emerge fully. As a result some food probably got stuck between the gum and that wisdom tooth, but no matter how much I flossed the smell was still there. I also realised that one way to check would be to puff up your cheeks with air then release the air w/o opening your mouth. The small gust of air will pass through your teeth and that was how I could "taste" the bad smell. Eventually I removed that wisdom tooth through surgery and that bad smell was gone
