How to stop bad breath?

Posted on January 21, 2011

I brush my teeth , tounge ,floss, use mouth wash after eating. If i eat 4 times a day thats means i brush 4 times. I have tried mouth rinse and they just burn my tounge and lips...now my lips are lil bit pink (anything that has alcohol does not help it makes things worse. I go to the dentist every 6 months. I stopped using over the counter toothpaste and mouth rinsers. Now i am using Oxyfresh toothpaste and mouth rinse that i buy from my dentist. Sometimes when i talk to people i chew a gum. It does not help at all.Chewing a gum makes it worse. I dont think my bad breath is coming from my teeth its like its coming from my neck or something . I just dont know how to explain it. When i tell my densist he just say oh no brush and floss hard!.....My teeth dont bleed or anything.
Pls guys help, i am starting school tomorrow its so embarrasing and depressing ppl.

How did people "brush" their teeth before toothpaste?

Posted on January 21, 2011

I was wondering if everyone before the invention of toothpaste just walked around having bad breath and gingivitis. What was first the paste or the toothbrush? Who actually invented the paste and brush and what year or country did these hygiene products first become available?
Alpine that is gross. seriously. in this day and age when we have these things to keep our teeth clean and have a longer life you CHOOSE NOT to use them? you are probably one of those people who always has bad breath but dont realize it. Everyone you talk to realizes it though!

What would you like to ask?i have a problem with my gums they always bleeding especially when i brush my teeth?

especially when i brush my teeth its just worse.now i suspected a removed crown i once had which left a piece of my tooth which is seemingly rotting by the day could be the cause...if i have gingivitis can it be cured.....and i at times think its giving me bad breath.is baking soda bad for my teeth?

Bad breath by gingivitis?

Posted on January 18, 2011

I got sick. I had a fever. and this either sparked gingivitis or infected my mouth. either way, my breath stinks. horribly. Before i was sick, i took really good care of my mouth. and because i didn't really brush as thorough as i should have over the past 5 days that i was sick, my gums started swelling up. I tried brushing them but my gums would MOVE and then bleed. this never ever happened before. So, I've been gentle when brushing. I don't floss to deep in. and i rinse with listerine. but my bad breath would still be there. listerine would only help temporarily. i can't believe it. Just last week when my mouth was healthy, i was kissing my bf and my breath was always so fresh. but now because i got sick, i have bad breath. I'm scheduling something with my dentist but i still miss kissing. Listerine and brushing would only help for a litle while but it's always gonna come back. I realy still want to kiss. How can i do this without bad breath? Wat kan i tell my partner if i cant?
