  3. Floss after every meal, drink plenty of water. Buy a waterpik and use it. You need to determine if it is because of your teeth, your throat, the food you eat, etc. Talk to a dentist.

  5. If you don’t already, you should also brush your tongue when you brush your teeth. I used to have a breath problem but since I started brushing my tongue, it is not a problem any more.

  6. Brush after every meal, and make sure to brush your tongue! gum or mints might help but wont make it go away.

  8. Brushing your tongue really helps. Flossing more often, using mouthwash, and avoiding garlic/onions and other pungent foods will also help.

  9. floss every day… try the tongue scrapper and mouth wash.. with no alcohol tho, alcohol dries your saliva and that causes bad breath…

  11. Since you brush twice a day, you might want to try three. Flossing goes along way because it takes out a lot of the left over food particles that are between your teeth. If that food sits there between the teeth, it starts to rot and decay. Like dead carcasses on the side of the road, anything that rots and decays gives off an odor because of the bacteria involved. I would floss and try mouthwash like Listerine. The mouthwash should help a lot as well as flossing because it is alcohol based (do not swallow, it can poison you quickly) which kills almost all bacteria. You can use mouthwash a few times a day if you’d like but some people have problems with it killing the skin on the inside of the mouth if used too often. Hope this helps.

  12. try this website …this stuff works absolute wonders.

    also, if you cant afford any of the things on there, some suggestions to try are…sleep and breathe through your nose, and cinnamon gum has the longest lasting scent.

  13. It could be caused by the plaque all over your mouth so everytime you brush your teeth take a spoon (or you can buy a tongue scraper, but i use a spoon) and scrape your tongue, scrape it all the way behind till your sorta gag. It may also be caused by the food you eat rotting in your stomach, carrots will help a lot and all kinds of fruits so don’t forget to eat healthy!

  14. Toms of Maine makes a mouthwash that is acohol free (acohol is bad for your gums) and it works great!

  15. i do the same…use mouthwash and if it doesnt help as long as it says u could have acid in ur throat i have it…so chew lots of gum and mints and i hope this helps

  18. The commonest cause of bad breath is not from teeth or gum infections, it is from nasal mucous (mucus) build up wihich then grows pungent bacteria, and it is this that gives bad breath every time you breath out, or even talk.
