Bad breath: Keeping your mouth healthy can only be one part of getting rid of bad breath.  There can be other causes of bad breath such as acid reflux and sinus drainage.

Once you know they are good, if the bad breath persists consult your doctor.

Question 7

how can i get rid of bad breath even after brushing my teeth and using mouth wash?

Accepted Answer

Wrong assumption: Your problem may be caused by cavities, acid reflux, gum disease, or diet... All the mouthwash and brushing in the world will not solve your problem, only mask it for 5 minutes. Seek the help of a local dentist and physician who can examine you and determine the cause.

Question 8

been told by my dentist-i need 2 hav extraction of 1root tip, n hav my teeth filled cause of cavities. should i go to see ent and gastroenterology for my bad breath problem. i just want to get rid of bad breath

Accepted Answer

Bad : Bad breath can be caused by many things.  Poor oral hygeine is the most common.  The dental problems have to be addressed by a dentist.  Try brushing the very back of the tongue once a day--that may help after doing that for a while.  Sometimes that is difficult due to the gag reflex.

Question 9

i have bad breath and i reaally want to get rid of it i brush my teeth daily ( how often should i brush?

Accepted Answer

Determine Cause: You don't know where your bad breath is coming from. Periodontal disease, acid reflux, your diet, and cavities can all contribute. Brushing all day long will not address any of these issues. Start with a checkup at your dentist, and after your mouth has been restored and cleaned, see a gastroenerologist if the halitosis persists.
