Bad bacteria: Jaguar, this must be a hard and long road of trying to find an answer to your problem. We have 200 types of bacteria that live in our mouth and gut, but there are a few unlucky ones that emit smelliness. Some dentists may be able to culture the bacteria in your mouth to find a targeted route of lowering the amount of smelly bacteria. Call dentists to ask if they do bacteria cultures.
