Question:


Answers:
The way a person's breath smells can be a clue to what's wrong. For instance, if someone has uncontrolled diabetes, his or her breath might smell like acetone (the same stuff that's in nail polish remover).

If you have bad breath all the time and the reason can't be determined by your dentist, he or she may refer you to a doctor to make sure there is no other medical condition that could be causing it. Sometimes sinus problems, and rarely liver or kidney problems, can cause bad breath
You just need to floss to get out the stuff that''s causing the smell. Try this, brush, rinse, floss, then brush, rinse and be happy.

Also, try eating some more acidic foods, like oranges and other citrus foods, and stay away from dairy for a while.
Floss, brush your teeth, scrape your tongue, rinse with a mouthwash of your choice. Avoid foods that make bad breath, like onions and garlic. If none of that helps, consult your doctor or dentist to see where the smell is coming from.

If you do a search on the internet using "bad breath" as your search term, you will find almost five MILLION references. Here's a good place to start:

The odors from garlic and onions enter your blood stream and then it takes a couple of DAYS before you breathe it all off. As you do this, you will continue to have bad breath. You can only use a mouthwash or breath mint (sugarless) as needed to mask the odor. I have read a lot of answers here saying to eat parsley to get rid of garlic breath, but I have no personal knowledge about that. Try it.
I had the same problem, I say make sure you floss first then brush the back of your teeth and make sure not to miss your tongue. Also stop drinking your coffee if you are
its related to stomach problems
Several reasons, but the first that comes to my mind is infected tonsils. If you have recently had a sore throat, you could have had a strep infection, and without seeing a physician and taking antibiotics you could have a low grade infection. Also could be you have irritated gums, one doesn't necessarily have to have pain for gums to give you bad breath, if some type of fungus or bacterial growth present. I would strongly suggest you going and seeing a physician. For it's so hard to give accurate advice here on yahoo, without being able to see and evaluate. I'm a Registered Nurse. This will not hurt you, by the same token it may not help. But try mixing hydrogen peroxide in equal amounts with water, do not swallow,(If you do, it will give you indigestion). Gargle for 30 seconds, rinse mouth thoroughly with warm water. One can also try 2 Tbls. saltwith 6 oz. water, swish and spit out, again rinse thoroughly with water. If neither of these treatments work, please see a physician. For an untreated Strep infection can and does lead to Heart complications. Thanks for the opportunity to address your question.
Could be Periodontal disease see your dentist .
Also brush your tongue and gums and use a little peroxide water 50% 50% solution and swish dental floss.
Could also be diabetics get it check.that's one of the first indicators
1) You can have a gum infection (swollen, red gums)
2) Sinus infection
3) Hunger
4) Food particles stuck in your tonsils (I have this and clean them periodically with a syringe of water)
5) Acid reflux
6) General tooth, gum, tongue, pallet, or throat problems
7) Other liver, kidney, or similar problem already answered
I am sorry that your breath smells bad. Bad breath can cause a lot of emotional distress especially when you think you are doing everything to prevent bad breath.

Most bad breath is caused by simple problems food that is rotting in your mouth, a tooth with a cavity, severe gum disease. If you have been to your dentist and you are taking good care of your teeth then your medical doctor should look into the situation as you might have a GI problems.

Brushing your teeth 2-3 times a day for 2 minutes a clip plus flossing once a day will help you to get rid of the issue of rotting food. You can use a mouth wash if you want for "coverage" but don't rely on it to clean your mouth. If you have been to the dentist recently then you will know if you have a cavity or gum disease that is causing your bad breath.

If dental wise you are doing everything correctly take a look a the medical end of things. Keep a record of what you have been eating and what your breath smells like. Keep note of any heartburn, or other GI symptoms you may be experiencing. You might notice a patern of foods that give you bad breath, or GI symptoms that go along with your bad breath.
