Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

I have been suffering from bad breath since I was 6, when my best friend told me that my breath stank. ... and I would not put much confidence in something a child tells you when you were 6 years old. Kids that age can be cruel and unreliable. Plus, it might have been a temporary thing you had when...

hello123, don't despair ... you are young and have your whole life ahead of you! You need to be determined and methodical in your approach. But first, you need to be sure that you actually have halitosis. Have you received actual confirmation from someone you trust OR are you just basing your opinio...

jiazzsy, thanks for the update. It's encouraging to hear that they found more adenoid tissue than was initially seen. This gives more hope to people like me who don't appear to have much, if any adenoid tissue. [-o< Please stick around to give us the final assessment regardless of the outcome. This ...

needed a root canal.. Not too long after is when I started experiencing bad breath.. I just wonder if anyone felt like their halitosis began after a root canal or some sort of dental work??? Yes, MyhopeSomeday25, I can trace my halitosis back about 10 years ago when I had a root canal. Not sure if ...

jimi, it's very simple. Just tone it down ... and stop using profanity and vulgar language (especially towards women). It's just NOT acceptable ... period. Is that possible? Can't you get your points across in a more appropriate and professional manner? That's all everyone wants. I know that deep do...

I've read that Thornwalt's Cysts are detected in only 4% of those autopsied, i.e. a small percentage. Yes, this 4% figure could be discouraging but I believe it was obtained from the general population. It would be interesting to know what percentage of people with (non dental related) halitosis ha...

halitosisux, well said. You are the ultimate peacemaker. 9Years, thank you for the courage to speak your truth. searching, I agree that this is an important revelation and should be pursued by the medical community. I had a tonsillectomy 8 months ago, but now I want to get my adenoids OUT. Before I ...

Jimi, I know you have experienced much pain with this curse, but shame on you. You are totally out of line with those comments. For some bizarre reason, you have internalized anger towards Mindy and 9Years because they have found a cure. You owe both of them an apology. You have alienated 2 people i...

Great news FedUp! Just like 9Years, tornwaldt cysts have been found and removed. This is very encouraging and I am optimistic for your prognosis. If you and Mindy end up being cured ... I think we need to build a monument for 9Years =D> (and maybe Jimi too) ;) Just curious, did you specifically ask ...

Maybe we have been looking at this problem the wrong way all along.

Maybe we should stop focusing on curing our bad breath and instead put all our energy into finding a way to genetically alter the rest of the population so they can no longer detect our stink.

Many of us have mustered up the courage to ask others if our breath stinks ... only to be told that they don't smell anything at all. I have in the past been told by others that my breath does NOT stink, although those same individuals constantly and consistently show reactions. I know it's not in m...

Mindy, awesome news! I think you might have found your cure, and if so, this is huge news for the group. First 9Years, and now possibly you. Next up, Fedup and maybe me. [-o< It just seems to make so much sense to me ... an area behind the nasal cavity, inaccessible to cleaning, that just festers wi...

Mindyb, I agree that it is still too early to start celebrating BUT this is fxxxing great news! I am so happy for you. The problem is that because of the reactions that we have had to endure in the past, now, when someone even scratches their nose, we will think it is because of bad breath. Just cur...

9Years, Please excuse me if you mentioned this in a previous post, but how did your doctor know that you still had adenoids? Did he give you a ct scan? Did he check behind the nasal cavity with a scope? or did he just blindly agree to perform the operation? I inquired about my adenoids on several vi...

Halitosisux, Once again, thank you for being the voice of reason. This is a sensitive topic and it is understandable that emotions would run wild. Jimi, please don't direct your anger to the wrong place. We are all here for the same reason. There are many causes of halitosis and it would be silly to...
