   Eat some gum… and brush your tongue with a toothpaste while you are brushing your teeth.

   Issues like this can be embarrasing, but you must know you are probably the one who notices it most. Go talk to your dentist some more maybe, but in the meantime, eat mints, chew gum, and brush & floss your teeth.

   Peace out & good luck [=

   Most bad breath is known to come from the stomach and digestive tract. You have to keep in mind that a healthy and balanced food can help in making less breath smell. Brushing your teeth regularly, taking mints and chewing gums helps a little temporarly for breath smell. If you’re suffering a reflux, it most probably cause such bad breath smell, if it is resolved then it can take off the bad breath smell.

   Sounds like there may be a problem in the colon area? If you do not have a healthy bowel this could have a lot to do with the smell. Try getting a colonix.

    It absolutely can come from reflux. Try taking some Prilosec OTC. It takes a few days, but the reflux will get better. The scope will tell the extent of the problem. Reflux can lead to a condition called Barretts Esophagus. It is a pre cancerous condition. Get the scope and follow doctors orders.

    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. Some basic causes of bad breath are:

    * Food particles left in the oral cavity
    * An infection of the mouth, throat, or teeth
    * Gum Disease-or if you prefer, gum disease!
    * Reduced Salivation
    * Acid Reflux
    * Low Carbohydrate Diet

    Unless bad breath is kept under control by tooth brushing and flossing and where necessary, the use of antibacterial products like OraMD found at the condition will recur.
