I hate the idea of having bad breath, it’s almost like a phobia. I always pick the onions out of my food and usually don’t eat garlic. How long does bad breath last after these things? I know garlic is worse.

Thanks!

They can last a couple of days, but be aware that raw onions and garlic are much worse than cooked, which don’t tend to last long at all.

i have had bad breath since i was tiny. i brush my teeth twice a day and i eat chewing gum which disguises the smell. i am a very confident person but without a packet of chewing gum i get very self concious becausei knowit will start to smell.. any one got any good suggestions on how to getrid of it for good. thank you xxx

If this is a chronic problem I suggest you tell your doctor. Your breath problem could be caused from beyond your mouth.

While I was taking prevpac i had absolutly no bad breath, and now its back, my h pylori is gone,, my doc prescribed me antiacid but it doesn’t work, what’s in the prevpac and how does it get rid of the bad breath? Can doc prescribe it?

A prevpac has contains a proton pump inhibitor and antibiotics. I’m assuming during that time the antibiotics killed the bacteria that usually causes bad breath. Although it was used to treat the ulcers the antibiotics work systemically and may have been killing other bacteria. Talk to your doctor.

I brush my teeth, I use mouth wash, the usual solution for bad breath. But it never lasts, even if I haven’t eaten food. Is there something that will last?

The main cause of bad breath is stuff on your tongue (bacteria, food bits, etc) especially towards the back of your tongue. Tongue scrapers work really well for freshening breath, (but I don’t think the brushes work very well).
Check out the Wikipedia Page on Tongue Scrapers if you want more info.

okay so, I have great looking teeth, I brush regularly, and my breath smells fine. In only a little while, my bad breath kicks in. It isn’t my mouth, i think it may be deeper, is it maybe my stomach that gives this really bad breath? For sure I know its not my teeth or anything there, whats the problem and how do I get rid of the bad breath. Should I just go to the doctors?

I have a horrible bad breath,ive tried everything,gums,mouthwash,floss,mint ball,breath spray..some of them have a bad taste or didnt last long,it occurs after a few hours later. what should i do to get rid off? i dont have any tooth problem.

Make a habit of chewing saunf (fennel seeds) after every meal. This not just freshens the breath but also aids digestion.
Prepare a paste of sandalwood by rubbing it with water on a clean stone slab. Squeeze half a lemon in it. Use this mixture as a mouth wash. This will freshen the breath.

My chihuahua is four pounds and there isn’t a lot of room for treats because he needs to fit in nutritious food. (Plus I am still training him so I need to reserve small treats for that).
What is the best product for his bad breath?

Brush! My small dog likes the electric toothbrush because it makes noise and he likes to bite it. No toothpaste! Baking soda would work though…

Also, if you feed him a diet high in fiber and without any corns or by products his system can balance out and his bile will be less pungent. Also, cut back on the table foods and feed him dry kibble only for a while. The chewing will be good for his teeth.

I got my wisdom tooth removed almost 2 weeks ago and I’m having bad breath, pains, and ooze after night. Why is this?

You might have a dry socket which means your blood clot got dislodged, go back to where you got them taken out so they can help you with that.

Mints don’t work, he does brush his teeth, but still his breath continues to be bad.

Is he brushing his tongue too? he should do this (gently, of course).
If he keeps having bad breath you should see a dentist. I don’t mean to alarm you but this kind of problem can be a "mirror" for other diseases so is better to prevent than to be sorrow later.
