Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

Hi everyone!

Im very curious -how many people have had a tonsillectomy and still have BB? Before you got your tonsils removed did you have tonsil stones?

Please let me know. Thank you!

If you look around in the forum you'll find the answer to your question in a recent survey.

Please don't waste your time and money on tonsillectomy the chance of success is very low you can see if search well on in this forum. Most of bad breath cause is some thing wrong with the teeth and gums. Put all your efforts on the mouth. Even if you don,t get cured by one dentist try other one so on and so forth.

The lucky few tonsillectomy is the cure. Didn't work for me but It's nice not plucking out tonsil stones anymore.

It helped me for about 2 weeks, since then,its even worse. By the way FedUp im right noe the same as you, bad smell from nose and mouth also think the cause is down the throat somewhere

Thank you all so much for responding!

Im definitely hoping to take them out soon!! Im hoping it will cure my BB, but if it doesnt its still worth not having tonsil stones anymore!! I believe the bad breath is coming from tonsils, but I also believe as you say theres something in the throat causing it.

Has anyone tried oil pulling??

I'm hoping the tonsillectomy is my cure. I won't probably be getting it though until May when I'm of school. School's in the way and I don't want to be out for 2 weeks, because I'll have a lot of catching up to do.

I took my tonsils out and it didn't effect my breath. I would say my breath is somewhat better but its still there. I had to get my wisdom teeth removed too because I had a nasty smell coming from them but it didn't get rid of the bad breath. It just helped it a little. Now I can chew gum and it doesn't make my breath worse.
