After cleaning twice a day there is still smelling from the mouth. Why isit so?


Question:


Answers:
It's highly possible you have periodontal disease if you are having problems with halitosis (bad breath).. this is often times a sign. I would advise you to get in to see your dentist as soon as possible. Depending on the stage of periodontal disease you could need deep cleanings only or even gum surgery. Generally, people with periodontal disease need to see their dentist every 3 months for cleanings rather than every 6 months. But it is still up to the patient to maintain good oral hygiene by brushing AND flossing reguarly.

Other Answers:
Maybe is some gastro odor. You should go to the doctor. I have a friend that had some really bad mouth odor. They told him that the smell did not come from his mouth but inside in esophogus/stomach. There is a medicine and a surgery that might solve your problem. But I recommed you to go to your doctor.

may need a simple dental cleaning or a "deep cleaning" (aka perio scaling and root planning). brushing and flossing alone will not sweep away those bacterium that become trapped under calculus buildup. thus the stench

one possibility

the smell may be coming from your tongue ask your detist about this.

Why do u clean twice a day? Why not 5 times a day or more?
Just try it.I'm sure it vl be ok.after that u need not use mouthwash too.

A dentist will have answers to the cause/cure for your particular problem. Sometimes an antiseptic mouthwash like Listerine helps b/c it kills the bacteria in your mouth that can cause odor.

Try using a tongue scrapper after you brush, and then rinse with mouthwash.

you have to brush your tongue man! Its all about the tongue~!

Make sure you clean your tongue as well. Most mouth odor comes from the tongue.
