She brushes twice at home… morning and night. Then at school twice as well. How do we get rid of the bad horrible breath?
She eats a good healthy diet as the rest of the family does. Her last dentist visit all her teeth were healthy. Shes due in September for her next appoinment with the dentist. We use Childrens Colgate Junior toothpaste.

    make a trip to the dentist, maybe she has a cavity….or sometimes it can even be due to a condition other than cavities…………..3yr olds probably shouldn.t have really bad breath………..

    She doesnt need to brush her teeth that much it will take the enamel off and she’ll be in a lot of pain. She may have gingervitus, take her to the dentist. Chewing on clove sticks helps

    Um.. Ok theres three possible ways.

    1st- Give her LOADS OF Mints .. I mean like a whole bag full of mints.. no joke.! My friend does it

    2nd – Go see a dentist. or doctor just incase of no infection

    3rd – Only brush at least 3 times not 4 cause i think thats what is making it smell worse the amount of times

    But Good Luck

    I would take her to a family physician as well. Perhaps the bad breath/smell comes from her stomach, you never know. Especially if she is brushing so much.

    I hope she gets better.

    Her problem may not be with her teeth. take her to your doctor and let him examine her. There are other causes for bad breath than just teeth!!

    dont let her brush her teeth that often a good toothpaste will last 12 hours even kids ones, do you brush her tongue as well cos thats more likely the cause rather than teeth, teeth only make up 20% of the mouth or summat like that. she may have a slight gastric problem like too much acid even though she eats healthily.

    she could be a bit dehydrated. this ofte causes bad breath.

    I’ve had this problem since I was 10. I’m 23 now and still have the problem. It ruins EVERY part of your life so please try your best to help your child solve this issue or else she’ll grow up miserable like me.

    I have great oral practices but I still suffer. I wish you all the best. Life is horrible with this problem.

    Bad breath is a serious social problem for many people regardless of age and status in life. To combat bad breath you must first know what causes bad breath. It starts up from bad cavity. Brushing the teeth to remove plaque and tartar helps, as does treating canker sores that may appear on the gums and taking other steps to maintain good oral hygiene. Unless bad breath is kept under control by tooth brushing and flossing and where necessary, the use of antibacterial products at the condition will recur.
