Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

We really need an accurate way to determine if our breath stinks, otherwise we are doomed from the start. Trying to gauge our breath based on peoples reactions is "fools gold". The most reliable method for breath detection is the old fashion way of having a human smell your breath and give...

I tried to rule out any obvious oral conditions years ago. I had all 4 wisdom teeth extracted and an old root canal tooth (with crown) removed. When you floss your teeth, are there any particular areas that make the floss smell bad? I never really detected a foul odor when I floss. how many areas gi...

Good for you. I am glad you have found some relief by changing your diet. Personally, I would consider this more of a patch than a cure. It's not normal to have to adhere to such an oppressive diet in order to maintain fresh breath.

How long has it been since the Tonsillectomy?

whatdidido,

Good luck. Please provide feedback after the operation (good or bad). I will anxiously wait for the results. Thank you.

It could be possible that removal of a adenoid was the cure here I guess we will never know if it was the Palatine, Lingual, Adenoids or some combination of the three but I suspect it was the Adenoids. My story is very similar to this one. I did everything on that list plus I had my wisdom teeth ex...

Very interesting read! Herbal supplements as effective as antibiotics. I did find it strange, though, that the study did not differentiate between the two sets of herbal regiments. Kind of left it up to the participants to make the choice. The article said: 2 capsules twice daily of the following co...

I seriously hope that you are joking. If you believe this, you have much bigger problems than Halitosis.

the confirmation from my own ENT whatdidido, did your ENT confirm that he/she could smell your bad breath? For that matter, has anyone? All the other things (nose rubs, coughing, comments, backing away) is really just an interpretation. You really need for someone to directly tell you to your face ...

the ENT told them my adenoids were infected and he removed them

That's encouraging news! Good luck and keep us posted.

Just curious, does your family know that you had the procedure to cure bad breath? Do they acknowledge your bad breath?

Hey heregoesnothing,

I see you suddenly stopped posting. Do you still have bad breath? Please provide an update. I am thinking of getting an adenoidectomy myself.

Good luck ... StillHoping and feelitagain!

Take your time giving us the final verdict BUT please stick around and give us updates. This is a very significant thread and I am hoping it could be my cure too. Good luck, I'm pulling for both of you!

Hi somethinstinks and ijwbtrma,

I would also be interested in meeting up with one or both of you in New York City. Saturday or Sunday is best for me but I am somewhat flexible. I really need an objective opinion of my breath and I am willing to provide the same.

FedUp, sorry to hear the bad news :( Just curious, how do you know you have bad breath? Have you ever actually asked someone OR have you been basing your assessment on reactions? Did your doctors ever acknowledge that you had bad breath? Maybe you should consider being tested for TMAU or other blood...

OK.

In some weird way, I guess your fortunate to at least know the truth. Don't waste time, check every possible cause off your list. Do it now while you are still young. Good luck!
