Hello Annie! I admire your courage of letting us know your dental problem, there are better solutions for you to follow and I hope you will be able to follow them diligently. Good personal oral hygiene is a must to solve your problem.First and foremost is your brushing technique. You need to brush your teeth, tongue and gums 3X daily not just 2X a day plus rinsing or mouth gargle with a lot of water in between meals(every after taking your snacks) to wash away food stuffs when you snacked. I also recommend a "tongue scraper" to scrape your tongue coz brushing alone cannot remove food debris that lodged on the rugaes of your tongue or the rough portion of it. You can inquire from your dentist about this Scraper, Ex. a product from Discus Dental. Flosing every after brushing is also a must. Antiseptic mouthwashes 3x a day like chlorhexetidine or betadine oral gargle is also available.
After doing all these and still stinks, a visit to your dentist is a must. You probably need Oral prophylaxis(cleaning) because there are stuffs in your mouth that cannot be removed by the usual brushing, we call it "calcular deposits" or the hardened tartars at the back and maybe sorrounding your teeth which causes swelling of the gum (gingivitis), it can only be removed by a special dental instrument. Pile of such deposits causes the smell too. Or perhaps you have cavities on your teeth you may not noticed because they don't bother you yet. Food debris lodged on cavities causes terrible smell so fillings is/are needed. Hopefully. you don't have dentures, retainers and other mouth appliances yet, because failure to clean them well also contribute bad smell. Stomach problems, like ulcer is also a factor but I hope you don't have this.
With regards to your health eat a well balanced diet with lots of fruits and vegetables,and drink plenty of water too.You can also ask you dentist to expound on this Avoid too much spicy foods, they are good contributing factor to a breath that stinks... but in fairness to those who love spicy foods, a good personal oral hygiene is recommended as mentioned earlier. I'm glad if I enlightened you on this aspect. Don't worry you are not alone having this kind of problem others may even have the worst scenario. God Speed!!!

Mom knows best. If she says that it stinks you can be pretty sure that it does.
I have some questions for you.
How old are you.?
When was the last time you went to the dentist.?
If you are a child, your parents are responsible for taking you to the dentist for routine oral health exams and tooth cleanings. This is the major way to avoid bad breath. That and regular brushing and flossing at home.
If you are an adult, you are responsible for your own dental health.
Brush and floss daily after every meal. If your gums are bleeding, brush those areas longer... not harder. They need better cleaning and stimulation.
Mouth wash can mask the problem but not clear up the cause.
Most importantly... go to the dentist and have your teeth checked. A rotten tooth can cause horrible bad breath that no amount of brushing will clear up.
Good luck.

I am a dentist and I can tell you what most people fail at.
The tongue!
Scrap your tongue at least once a day, before you to go sleep. It might cause you to gag at the beginning but once you get used to it you will feel the difference.
Of course you also need to brush your teeth well for good 3-5 minutes twice a day at least, but you also need to floss between your teeth a that is where food get trapped often.
But most people forget about the tongue.
also... avoid alcohol-based mouth washes.. they cause your mouth to get dry and that's where bacteria grow and cause a bad breath..
If all that don't work, check with an ENT doctor.. maybe you have sinus/nose problems leading to some bad-smelling secretions at the back of your throat causing you a bad breath..

This is easy to answer. first, think, did you eat anything that might make your breath smell. Then secondly- brush your teeth. If this doeant work, maybe buy breath sprays, tic tacs or listorine. Heres atip to check if your breath smells, it usually works. NOw- this might sound gross- but if you lick your hand and then smell it, you can usually smell if your breaths bad. Hope this info helps, catch ya l8r.Health Question & Answer
Are you flossing everyday.? Because there is a certain odor to your breath when one doesn't floss... also, brush regularly and maybe even keep a small bottle of mouthwash with you in your purse to use every so often. But flossing could be the key here. Good luck!Health Question & Answer
Fist off-BRUSH YOUR TEETH!!!!!!!! and I dont mean for like 10 seconds, for two solid minutes brush, then floss every single tooth (thi stakes the longest) and then mouth wash. I would reccommend doing this 3 times a day, or atleast 2. Then get those listerine sheet packets and pop one of those whenever u fell "stinky"Health Question & Answer
Gargle a cup of lukewarm water mixed with salt or half a lemon juice.This is best done before going to bed. Chew parsley leaves,which are sure to keep your breath fresh. Put a few drops of tea tree oil on your toothbrush top it with toothpaste, and then brush your teeth. More useful remedies at http://useinfo5.blogspot.com/
