Bad breath is caused by odor producing bacteria in the mouth. There are certain food products like garlic and onion that are responsible for bad breath. When we don’t clean or brush our teeth properly after meals, bacteria gets accumulated on the left over food in the mouth and also between the teeth. It releases sulphur compounds that makes the breath smell. Bad breath originates from mouth, from the surface of the tongue, between the teeth and below the surface of gum line.

No More Bad Breath OR Bleeding Gums...
Try it! ;-)
- maintain a consistant oral hygene routine with all ( if possible for you ) NATURAL products or home-made products. ie: baking soda rinse, sea salt rinse.
*make sure to brush/m[@]age your gums but not too hard. your gusm can recede and that is irreversible!
*try oral b's humming bird flosser. flosses and m[@]ages at the same time
*an amazing product is a water pik! it is definately worth it to invest in one.
- avoid unhealthy super processed/refined foods. coffee/smoking = bad breath no matter what.
- try eating pineapple after meals as it helps aid in digestion, and adds a sweetness to your breath
- change your tooth brush!! don't always wait for the blue part to turn white on the tips, change it often. bacteria accumulates on toothbrushes. you could also rinse your tooth brush in baking soda.
- have a pack of good mint gum
(natural if you can) close to you always... carry a 'travel' tooth brush in your bag, but make sure to give it the rinse as they are prone to becoming smelly after use and putting the cover over them.
:-D
So it makes you brush your teeth for 2 minutes and it times you for 30 seconds on your bottom and top and inside bottom and inside top. Then, once my 2 minutes are up, the toothbrush turns off by its self. Then i turn it back on, ignore the timer, and brush my tounge. Your tounge is where most of the germs are that cause bad breath. Once i finish that, I floss and get all the plaque out from inbetween my teeth. I then finish off with rinsing for 60 seconds with Listerine mouthwashe. Im not sure exactly the name but the one i use is a blue and it works WONDERS.
hope i helped:-D
Your all round development and spiritual [@]ent will also take place automatically!
(1) eat healthy
(2) drink plenty of water as you should be anyway
(3) have toothbrush with a special tounge cleaner on the back helps because it means that lots of bacteria is taken away but if you use an ordinary toothbrush that dosent have the tounge bit your basicly spreading germs from your teeth to your tonge and that causes infection
P.S i dont come on this site much i just seemed to find it when i was looking for home remidies for skin so i proberly wont reply to any comments SORRY xxx
Hungur may be a problem.... which is solvable. You may be having the problem of constipation. When the stool is noy clear, is decomposes in intestine. The bad smell gets sucked in blood, and resilts in bad breeth. Thus clear up the stool by laxsatives, and see the difference,
Best luck
rinsing mouth with H2O2 is very helpful but can be very dangerous if swallowed but only if in large proportions.
1. Eliminate white bread and even wheat breath (bread altogether
2. Eliminate white rice permanently; only eat brown rice
3. Eat apple at least twice a day
4. Eat yogurt (withactive cultures of probiotics)

6. Brush teeth, tongue and gum after each meal and at least 3 times a day ; brush up to back of tongue
7. Floss daily (I use waterpik for flossing)
8. Gently Scrape tongue to back of tongue daily
9. Eat fennel seed after each meal to freshen breath
10. Permanently eliminate sugar from your diet
11. Eat plenty of fibrous food especially salads and any other green leafy vegetables
12. Avoid dairies: milk, cheese and all dairies

Overall, what will eliminate bad breath completely is by becoming a raw food eater or raw vegan if you will. If bad breath is not treated and arrested in a timely manner, it could rapidly progress to an incapacitating halitosis. So please rise up and get him started on the above regiment. Good luck to you.

If you are using proper alcohol free toothpastes and mouthwashes -- like dioxibrite or oxyfresh or smartmouth and you're still having bad breath then it is something to do with your digestive system.

I have read almost all of the above comments sadly with a great deal of interest, as I too am suffering from this deadly dilemma of wanting to live in society and having this HORRID condition.
It doesn't stop there, in my previous jobs and potential job interviews have failed solely thanks to thus curse. A lot of people try to distance themselves from me, not because they don't like me because I have a magnetic personality and people are drawn to me but with this problem they are soon repelled.
I wish I had a cure for you guys as I can truly feel for you. However I am sad to say "that I don't". I have tried most toothpastes, mouth washes (including the wonder washes too) from many different places around the world. Also havd tried baking soda, salt washes, tounge scrapers, expensive toothbrushes .... You name it, I've tried it! ... short of having all my teeth pulled out but something tells me even that won't work.
In conclusion, keep trying and pledge to find a fix and when you do please make a bold announcement all over the internet so that all of us can benefit and rid ourselves of this horrible disease. In the meantime, try to live as normal a life as you can with a consolation - that you are not alone!
P.S. To those who think that we with a little more attention to hygiene can solve this, please take the time to read all the pain that these poor soles are going through who once had fresh breath just like you.
God bless us all :-)

I sometimes find it hard to even leave the house, I'm always having time off work coz Its so hard to face people who would rather talk behind your back and that don't realise this is more than what toothpaste, mouthwash and mints will solve, I've had a wisdom tooth taken out in the hope it might cure my problem but I knew that it wouldn't. I find it hard to watch tv even in case an advert for toothpaste or a mouthwash comes on as it is so humiliating. Oh what some people don't realise what goes on behind closed doors, I pray that one day there will be a cure for us all once and for all ...
God bless x
Should I use...
Sun Flower Seeds
Lemon juice with salt & peroxide
Yogurt
Please help me out :-D;-):-(:-o>-(
i've recently started using a toothpaste with neem oil in. i'm not entirely sure it's working since it is hard to gauge your own breath, but i have noticed that my mouth definitely FEELS fresher and for way longer periods of time.
the brand i've tried is called "ORGANIQUE neem and pomegranate toothpaste" by Himalaya Herbal Healthcare. there are others out there too but i haven't tried them.
it's about $5.00+ shipping of course, online.
i spent $10.00 on amazon to buy one tube to try and so far i really like it. what got me interested was reading about how common toothpaste brands include an ingredient known as sodium lauryl sulfate which can actually contribute to the problem. the organique one does not contain this ingredient. hopefully this helps someone.
last thing i want to say is thank you to all of the people who've posted on here. it's so beautiful how the people posting on here are so willing to help others (something i've noticed in the comment threads of most sites dealing with halitosis).
much
1. Regular routines of basic oral hygiene. Twice daily brush your teeth and tonge, rinse and gargle with a mouthwash, and floss. This is the baseline to start with. Everyone is supposed to do this. No excuses.
2. Add one routine daily of home/natural remedy. Daily, means once a day, every day... You can take your pick from the following list: a. Brushing with baking soda. b. Chewing some myrrh. c. Chewing some anise stars. d. Oil pulling (work up to 20mns.) e. Pick one of the remedies listed in the article above.
3. One or more additional dietary routine(s.) a. A daily unsweetened green tea after dinner. b. One or half an apple a day - give the other half to your partner they probably need it too. c. Keep hydrated; not only water but electrolytes as well (Emergen-C, Nuun, Pedialyte, etc.)
This prescription I've written here, I am giving it to myself. I'll let you know what comes out of it... maybe. I hope that I'll forget about it once this treatment has worked. Good luck everyone. Also... get some good sleep.
