Does anyone have any other tips?
I go to a dentist regularly thanks. And like I said, the things I mentioned, when all done, are effective. I was just looking for extra tips.

If you are doing those things. And have been to the dentist? And have no bad teeth. My guess is your stuck with it….Although I wouldn’t rule out changing your diet?
P.S. If that’s your worst problem…You have got it made!

Do you ever get smelly little balls of plaque in the back of your mouth? If so, you might have tonsilloliths a.k.a tonsil stones. These stones form in your tonsils from food particles and lead to bacteria which can contribute to bad breath.
I get them an even though I brush, floss, rinse etc. I will get bad breath every few weeks if they build up. If your *** reflex is ok you can try to pop or squeeze them out from your tonsils if you notice white gunk in em. Also avoid alcohol and dairy which seem to speed up their formation.
If you don’t have these though then maybe it is something else in your diet in which case the bad breath might be coming from your esophagus, in which case your only solution is to figure out what foods are causing it (often lactose intolerance).

Brush your teeth frequently, use mouthwash. They have special brands of mouthwash for bad breath. After you eat chew on parsley or mint leaves then spit them out. Chew gum and continue to **** on mints. You may need to see a dentist because bad breath can be caused by other things. good luck!

The best toothpaste for bad breath would be something with perioxide and baking soda! Try arm and hammers perioxi-care.Make sure your using a antibacterial mouthwash.Crest pro health is great.if your Chewing gum make sure its sugarless.If you chew sugared gum the sugar will linger in your mouth.Cinnamon is actually better than mint because it has antibacterial properties.Last but not least if you cant control your breath go see your dr or dentist there may be an underlying cause!Good luck!

Try chewing on the long thin pine needles from a pine tree from time to time. If there is a tree in your neighborhood, you can pull some and chew on them immediatly, just make sure their insect free. Toothpastes and mouthwashes all come from nature, go straight to the source. Pepperment leaves, cinnomon, basil, even fruits should help with your breath.

It probably means when you sleep, you mouth is open.
There really is nothing you can do. When your sleeping you loose control.
Though it is very common.
In the mornings brush your teeth. Eat your breakfast and pop a mint or even chewy.
I hope this helps

Scientists at the New York School of Dental Medicine have identified a bacteria, Solobacterium moorei, that causes 80 to 90 percent of bad breath. They cured chronic bad breath in their tests by having the people brush their teeth and then clean their tongue twice a day.
You state that you still have bad breath after using a scraper. The scraper you are using is not really cleaning the top of your tongue. You are just removing the top of the bacteria and allowing them to grow back. OraBrush tongue cleaner has both a brush and a scraper and is designed to reach far back on the tongue. The bristles are individual, flexible, pointed, and soft and will clean the deep indentations of the tongue. Learn more at:
