RE: Remedies for Bad Breath
Heres the deal! im called the "Beauty Freak" i know almost verything there is to know! I reda an apply everything. Half are none-yas, but thats what im here for! Ok, drink plenty of water. I know it sounds weird but its true! You wonder why ifants never have bad breath thats because they have tons of suliva. For some reason have lots of suliva improves your breath. And one thing you dont want to use all the time is a mouth wash! it seems like a quick fix to bad breath, but only dries your mouth. Yes, it kills bacteria and bad breath germs but it wont last! Im telling you plenty of water. Tyr not to drink drinks with caffiene because one caffinated drin will erase one glass of water.

Here's some ideas:
Chew on parsley or mint leaves.
Keep a small bottle of mouthwash handy and use several times per day.
Use a tongue scraper or gently brush your tongue.
Floss after eating.
Clean all areas of the mouth when brushing, including around the tongue and cheeks.
Get tested for any allergies such as dairy or gluten.
Hope they help!

type in 'thera breath' in the search engine. It worked great for me. The official website explains everthing.

I know from a relative that bad breath can be related to celiac disease (autoimmune disease that damages the intestine when gluten is ingested). When the gluten (wheat, rye, barley, oats) were removed, the bad breath
improved greatly. You would have to check with your doctor for the proper testing and advice.

Stop drinking Milk. It may not agree with you. The order is coming back up. Yogart & kefir is ok.

Uhhh... have you been checked to see if your gums are infected? Preventive services to keep it from happening are not common in India, I understand, so it is almost totally likely that you have periodontal disease. Infection always smells terrible, and it could be deep under your gums. Glad you got online and asked! Kim, dental hygienist in Washington State

Chew on fennel. It is used as a mouth freshener and an after meal digestive. Indian restaurants often serve fennel candy as an after dinner mint.
RE: Remedies for Bad Breath
I use 1/2 hydrogen peroxide 1/2 water as a mouthwash - primarily for my gums - but it's really good at killing mouth bacteria!
Request: Remedies for Bad Breath
I have bad breathe. I went to the doctor for my sinuses. She gave me some nasal spray and some antibiotics. But I still have bad breathe. It is so bad that I work with people who talk behind my back. I work as a waitress so that is really, really bad. Help Me!

RE: Remedies for Bad Breath
I have sinus problems and I can truly sympathize. You could try getting a tongue cleaner. They can be found at most stores where the toothbrushes are sold. They work with toothpaste and scrape the top of the tongue to clean-it really helps! Also, have you tried a neti pot? They are great! They can be found in most health food stores and can be used with regular slightly warm tap water and a quarter teaspoon of either kosher salt or sea salt. It rinses out the sinuses, and you will notice a big difference. I hope this helps. Good luck! (05/23/2006)

RE: Remedies for Bad Breath
Hi, Shorty, I've heard that a certain kind of bacteria (I think it's h.pylori, the same one that can cause ulcers) can cause bad breath; your doctor can test you for that and if you have it, prescribe something to get rid of it. Also, Giselle is right: cleaning the tongue cures bad breath for some people. (If cleaning your tongue makes you want to gag, try swishing ultracold ice water around in your mouth just before the cleaning; that seems to deaden the gag reflex a little.) Also, I heard that a mouth this is too dry can cause bad breath; so avoid mouthwashes, cough drops, etc. that have alcohol or any kind of drying agent in them. Chewing gum is supposed to keep the mouth moister too. Good luck! (05/23/2006)

Stop drinking coffee. I had the unpleasant task of telling a colleague that her breathe was really REALLY unpleasant. But I noticed it was after she had had her morning coffee. She has switched to tea, and presto, no more bad breath. (05/23/2006)

If you smoke, QUIT! Use the tongue scraper too. That works miracles. Floss daily. Food rots between your teeth and will stink if you don't get it out. Drink water continously. Finally, if these methods don't work, see a doctor. could be a health problem. (05/23/2006)

My hubby gets really bad breath after drinking coffee, if you drink coffee too it may be the culprit. (05/23/2006)

Go have your dentist check your teeth, gums and mouth. Even the slightest decaying tooth will cause bad breath...your dentist can write you prescriptions for your mouth too. Dentists can most definitely help you with this sort of problem and in your line of work it is very, very important! Good Luck! (05/23/2006)

Listerine whitening is very mild in taste and alcohol, but still works great in killing bad breath! And tongue cleaning works wonders, I think that is the main breeding ground! Regarding coffee for bad breath, I was wondering, is it worse for people who use cream and/or sugar? (05/23/2006)

RE: Remedies for Bad Breath
Did she give you antibiotics for the sinus infection? That may be your culprit... because antibiotics mess with your natural bacteria, and may mess up the "microsystem" and cause bad breath (same concept with stinky feet and other places...) If it subsides after the antibiotics (eat a lot of yogurt) then it may be to blame! (05/23/2006)

RE: Remedies for Bad Breath
My dental hygienist told me to brush my tongue with my toothbrush. I bought an implement for this purpose at the drug store. It was in the toothbrush section... and inexpensive. She also told me to rinse my mouth after brushing with half a capful of Listerine mixed with half a capful of water. She said Listerine is the best. Also, I noticed it is the brand used in their office.
If you have any kind of infection in your sinuses, tonsils, or mouth, your breath will smell like infection. I recommend spraying your sinuses with salt water spray which can be purchased in the nose drop/cold remedy section of the drug store. Rinse your sinuses several times a day with this salt water spray. One brand name is Ocean Spray, but I use the generic brand.
Also, have a good dental checkup. You may have gum disease. But I'm betting its your sinuses. My daughter had a lot of trouble with hers and hers gave her bad breath. (05/24/2006)

RE: Remedies for Bad Breath
Hi Shorty! If all of these great suggestions don't work for you, you should probably see a doctor. My daughter's problem was solved after she had her tonsils out. She used to get white spots on her tonsils but her throat didn't get sore. Anyway, I hope something helps you and I applaud you for trying to find a solution! (05/24/2006)
