19 month old with bad breath! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

Posted on February 23, 2011

My 19 month old son has a really bad odor in his mouth that won't go away. It's horrid and doesn't have a distinctive smell like a type of food he may have eaten or anything. We haven't changed his diet, so i doubt it's caused by something he's eaten. The best way to describe the smell, it literally smells like CRAP!

My husband and I have been brushing his teeth (tongue and gums included) twice daily with his 0-2 year old fluoride free toothpaste and everything was fine, teeth look clean and healthy.

To eliminate the bad odor, which we noticed a couple of days ago we brushed his teeth first with the kids toothpaste thoroughly, that didn't work. Then we tried regular Colgate toothpaste, it helped temporarily but minutes later the odor returned just as strong as before.

Now we have no idea what could be causing this! WE NEED HELP!!!!!

He has a dentist appointment scheduled next week, but until them what could we do to help? I don't want my son to have this bad breath lingering until next week! Does anyone have any idea what we could do to get rid of this? Has anyone experienced this with their children?

***SERIOUS ADVICE ONLY PLEASE***

How do I make my teeth white?

Posted on February 8, 2011

My teeth are already white, but ever since i stopped using the crest pro whitening stipes, my teeth are slowly turning yellow. :/ I use whiting toothpaste all the time, but i don't see any improvemtns, and i just think its a load of crap.

Is there any like homeade ingredients or something that will actually work? I just don't have the kind of money to go buy another whitening kit. :/ ..or i wouldn't be on here asking. (: thankss.
You guys keep saying baking soda. Im gonna try that, but how do i mix it if the baking soda is powder like?

Has one had bad side effects from Crest pro health toothpaste?

Posted on February 7, 2011

Man please don't buy this shit. After a week of using this crap, my mouth seems like it will be fucked up for some time to come. My tongue turned white. And so did my daugthers. The crap is slowly coming off. The freaking mouthwash turned my mother's teeth brown. The tip of my tongue felt like it was onfire. To top it off, the corners of my mouth were tight like i had botox or something. The bumps that broke out around my mouth are finally gone. This is the most bizarre thing ive ever seen.

Could this be gingivitis?

Posted on February 7, 2011

I have sort of like an arrow shaped inflamation on my gums, behind my two front teeth. It's more a dot, then a little arrow going down, and it's swollen and red around it. It also hurts like crap when I accidentaly used that part of my mouth to eat something. Is it something I should worry about?

How do you treat and eventually get rid of gingivitis?

Posted on January 27, 2011

I'm a 17 year old boy, and..Well, I've been getting lots and lots of sugar..And I never really flossed because it's irritating as hell. My mouth are smaller then my hands, so its hard to get in there with the floss. Maybe you could give me some advice on that?

Anyways, to the point..I've started flossing, but I doubt I'm doing a very good job at it. My gums are inflamed, and swollen..What's stupid though is that I don't think nothing is wrong with them because I don't have anything to compare my gums too, you know? I've never looked at peoples mouths before -_-. I mean, I didn't think that was something I should observe.

My dentist gave me PerioMed for my gingivitis. Um..Its antimicrobial Oral Rinse. It's for my gums, and just a tiny few cavities. But I gotta be honest, I don't trust my dentists. Not after what they did to my dad. I mean, albeit, my dad is very old, but um..You know what, I'm getting off topic here.

Meh...So I swish this crap around in my mouth everynight for 1 minute after brushing and flossing my teeth. And I cal it crap because I can't drink anything afterwards when i go to bed and..I need water for- GOD! I'm doing it again, damnit.

Does this stuff really help gingivitis? I started last week and..I'm not noticing any physical changes. My teeth feel a bit shinier though..Like..Clean, slippery.

What else could I do to treat it? You know what? Screw treating it..

The more important question to me is..

WILL IT GET RID OF IT IF I KEEP DOING IT EVERYNIGHT?
