I have periodontal disease and despite the dental cleanings. Nothing has cured the bad breath problem. It is very offensive. I don’t even have to open my mouth. It will stink up the entire room. It smells like a rotten egg sulfer smell odor. It is very depressing!!
Note to self:
Do not go to Bonnie’s house for any reason whatsoever.
Im a 22 year old male and ive been single my whole life because i believe halitosis is a relationship killer, ive never had a close relationship with a girl before cause i don’t wanna like someone and end up heart broken, so should i try going out there or i should just keep doing this for the rest of my life?
You need to get something for that, brush your teeth and tongue thoroughly. That’s really nasty, and unattractive. So I’d say take care of that before you approach anyone. Not just females.
I have a mild but chronic halitosis what is the most effective way of dealing with this without any prescribed medications?
What is an alternative to mints?
I had fecal breath odor for YEARS. Talked to many doctors who I am sure thought that I was crazy….I finally had a friend who suffers too, send me a eBook he bought 5 or 6 months ago he ask me how his breath smelt and I didn’t smell a thing. He said the eBook amongst much else had him stop eating dairy food/ soft drinks and coffee/tea. So I’m like reading it and doing all the stuff it says to do. Thinking this has to be bull. But after a few days my tongue started turning red and felt nice. I worked up the courage to ask a friend how my breath smelt and hes like I don’t smell anything. Now I’m thinking all those years of humiliation and I could have solved it ffs! There is a site about it called Oraltech Labs When I read the site I felt sorry for the guy as he clearly had a real tough time with his bad breath, which pretty much ruined his school years. At lest he found a way to beat his bad breath and is letting others know how. Post this every! where to help people!! Thanks
one of my co-workers had really bad breath and he gets very close when he talks to people. I back away from him a foot whenever he gets next to me – not just because he has bad breath, but he gets too close. This guy isn’t a gum chewer, so I can’t offer him gum, and even when he has a breath mint when offered, it doesn’t really take – an hour later he has bad breath again. Other than backing away constantly, is there a way to inadvertently fix this or make it known to him?
You can tell him anonymously that he has bad breath here: http://therabreath.com/tellafriend.asp
If he has chronic bad breath, you should let him know because that can signify a more serious health issue.
we don’t wanna pay the crazy price for dog toothpaste. and he would just swallow mints.
Add mint leaves to his water.
Or is it just his body language?
Wow, that must be pretty bad breath if you can see it.
Whenever i exert myself i tend to smell my breath which to me smells like cat pissed litter. Also i always have to spit mucus and phlegm after eating or drinking alcohol. Please help as it is ruining my social life.
continue to brush your teeth & tongue daily. floss daily & use a dental rinse, drink plenty of water, and chew sugarfree gum. follow up with your dentist & avoid alcohol.
I got a woman fired from Best Buy because her breath smelled like spoiled pork.
Was that horrid?
It’s fine. I tried to get a lady fired because her name was offensive. Barb is a disgusting name.
Ours is a predominantly male company and most of our employees have dragons’ breath. It is really disgusting when you’re talking to them and then showered with a rotting smell.
I feel that would be quite inappropriate. You are going to either make people mad or they are going to be constantly preoccupied with how their breath smells. This is not a completely controllable thing. Maybe when you talk to them you should sit across at a table/desk… I understand why you would want to do this, but can’t think of a way to appropriately say this. Unless they interact with the public and think it’s a problem, maybe you could address it that way, even give a bulleted list of how to control it.
Hey, on second thought maybe that would go over well – just add humor to it!
I have tried everything possible to cure this!! I bought online mouthwash treatments called pro-fresh that helped for a while (about 2 years) then I guess my body became immune to it b/c I’m back in the same predicament. I floss and use a tongue scraper TWICE a day! This is very embarrassing and I haven’t asked my Dentist yet just b/c its so shameful. So any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Store shelves are overflowing with mints, mouthwashes and other products designed to help people control bad breath. Yet these products help control bad breath (halitosis) only temporarily. And, they actually may be less effective in controlling bad breath than simply rinsing your mouth with water after brushing and flossing your teeth.
Certain foods, health conditions and habits are among the causes of bad breath. In many cases, you can improve bad breath with proper dental hygiene.
Try the following steps to improve or prevent bad breath:
Brush your teeth after you eat. Keep a toothbrush at work to brush after eating.
Floss at least once a day. Proper flossing removes food particles and plaque from between your teeth.
Brush your tongue. Giving your tongue a good brushing removes dead cells, bacteria and food debris. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and brush your tongue with at least five to 15 strokes. Pay particular attention to the middle third of the tongue, where most of the bacteria tend to collect.
Clean your dentures well. If you wear a bridge or a partial or complete denture, clean it thoroughly at least once a day or as directed by your dentist.
Drink plenty of water. To keep your mouth moist, be sure to consume plenty of water — not coffee, soft drinks or alcohol. Chewing gum (preferably sugarless) or sucking on candy (preferably sugarless) also stimulates saliva, washing away food particles and bacteria. If you have chronic dry mouth, your dentist or doctor may additionally prescribe an artificial saliva preparation or an oral medication that stimulates the flow of saliva.
Use a fairly new toothbrush. Change your toothbrush every three to four months, and choose a soft-bristled toothbrush.
Schedule regular dental checkups. At least twice a year, see your dentist to have your teeth or dentures examined and cleaned.
