Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

Thanks for your posts..you are always very welcome here. I would like to know what do you think of this? When I was a child I had kidney reflux..I was prescribed with antibiotics (AS A PROFILACTIC TREATMENT) BACTRIM...I had to take that almost for the first 7 years of my life until the reflux was healed. A few years after I started having bad breath..I have been to doctor, dentists and I still don't have an answer. My teeth are fine, no gingivitis. But I have a white tongue and hairly on the back. I do my floss, brushing and everything in order to have a good oral higiene. Do you think that taking probiotics I could change the ecology in my mouth? Right now I am taking antibiotics due to infection on my throath. I would like your advise, if is possible. I haven been reading your posts and I am sure you are tha only one that could guide me on this. Do you think I could be cured of halitosis?

Wow, dude, i took Bactrim aka co-trim for an extended period of time (a few months one time) when i was younger, perhaps there is something in this drug that make your mouth/intestinal bacteria more aggressive. I can't really tell when my bb started but i know i've had it after looking back at instances when a lot people where dropping hints around when i was 15yrs old.

Yes. Ruben...I think my BB is due to the use antibiotics for long time...I am trying blis k12..I hope this would work for me..maybe DR Murat could give me some ideas...

Thanks for answering my post..yes my kidneys are fine..reflux was mild and is totally gone..everything ok. No surgery. I was on treatment when I was a child..and now I am 27..even though I do a check up every year. Thanks again...any suggestion?? Thanks

Thank you Dr Murat. I am planning going to see you by the beginning of next year.
