How do I get rid of bad breath?
Posted on September 9, 2010
I have bad breath and I don't even notice it. i only know
when someone tells me. How do i get rid of it?? I don't want to talk
to my dentist about it. I'm only a teenager. Please help!
I don't think the cause of my bad breath is the food I eat because i just eat rice, noodles, etc. No seafood.

Listerine, gum, and mints are just a way to help for a few minutes but it won’t permanently solve your problem, especially for some people with serious halitosis. Even though your embarrassed to see a dentist about this, I really suggest that you visit one. They will help find out where the problem is occurring. Bad Breath doesn’t just come from the tongue alone, it can come from any part of the body (foods, smoking, dry mouth, medical conditions, gum disease, and sinus conditions).

Brush at least twice a day and a tongue scraper helps cause you tongue is mostly the cause of bad breath!

Not enough info at all. You didn’t even mention the first step of beating bad breath, which is brushing your teeth in the morning every day. There are other options as well, Listerine, life saver mints, gum.

Brush your teeth with toothpaste. Go by a toothbrush and toothpaste with flouride. Put toothpaste on the toothbrush, get it wet under the faucet, and brush your teeth for a full 2 minutes. Then rinse your mouth out.

If you never use a mouthwash before or any other mouthwash that to strong for you to take it. You can try CREST mouthwash, it doesn’t burn your mouth. And brush tongue everyday as well your teeth too. If any of these doesn’t work check with the dentist. They might prescribed you BREATH RX.

Make sure your brushing for at least 2 minutes morning and evening, brush your tongue and cheeks gently, floss your teeth and use an alcohol free mouthwash (m/w with alcohol in it dries the mouth out which causes bad breath).
Bad breath is caused by bacteria which is always present in your mouth, but when your saliva levels are low they thrive and this causes them to release a sulfur compound. This is why your breath will always smell in the morning no matter how well you brush. If you do a lot of sports then you tend to have lower saliva production also some medications or medical problems (ie diabetes)cause it. So make sure you keep your self hydrated and if your on any medication then speak to your doctor to find out if this can be the cause.
If you notice that your gums are quite red and bleed easily then the bad breath could be a symptom of gingivitis. See your dentist to see if you can get a hygiene clean at your age and ask for brushing instructions.

Try eating one teaspoon of honey a day, it does wonders.
