Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

Hi! I totally understand what you're saying about looking at other peoples tongues. I do that all the time, even people on TV etc. It's so weird how people I KNOW have poor oral hygiene or eat the worst foods don't have a tongue coating! I went out with a friend of mine for dinner a week or so ago....

Hi, I have recently noticed I have median rhomboid glossitis on my tongue. If you are not familiar, it is a red or dark pink patch on the centre of the tongue. This is thought to be caused by a fungal infection. I do also have a heavily coated white tongue , and when I scrap this off, it has a punge...

hi, I recently visited my dentist who said tartar build up is normal and it does not cause bad breath. My question is, can tartar build up cause bad breath? I have have quite bad tartar build up on my lower molars.

Thanks

Hi, I'm 17, I've been dealing with this for 6 years. I tried oil pulling this morning and the median rhomboid globbitis has nearly vanished from my tongue, I'm not sure if this is a coincidence but can oil pulling eliminate fungus? Also, can fungi be a cause for bad breath? I have had a fungal nail ...

Hi Dollymary, If you have gum disease you'll get a very distinct breath. Does your saliva stinks? You have no cavities? If you bleed when you brush your teeth, you are either brushing too hard or you have tartar underneath your gums that causes the bleeding. Do you floss daily? What I would do is: ...

Hi, I changed my dentist recently as I've been convinced I have gum disease, my teeth bleed when I brush and I have tartar build up. My new dentist said that the tartar is normal, and that my gums are healthy, I'm so confused as I thought tartar build up was bad and it should be removed. She didn't ...

I was exactly like that, my mum doesnt care about oral hygiene and she nevers brushes he teeth now. she doesn't have bad breath :s
She never taught me how to brush my teeth and I had the worst oral hygiene when I was younger

I get that feeling when I drink water, for me, it's my wisdom teeth. As I'm drinking I can taste the cheesy odour that comes from wisdom teeth.

Hi, lately I've been thinking this is the cause of my bad breath. Do you have tartar build up around your teeth? Also I have a tooth which is blue/black. My dentist has never said anything is wrong but I'm considered getting a second opinion. Please let us know how it meant for you, I really hope yo...

Hi nespresso, I kid of have the opposite problem to you where I never get any reactions, people still insist on sitting close to me and I have only ever been told once that my breath smells. However I can sort of guess that it bothers friends as they seem to no what to go out anymore. It's strange t...

That must have been awful, at least I'm from the UK where medical care is free. I have finally been referred to the dental hospital, hopefully I will get them out and cross another thing off this list.

Hi, I had my tonsils removed hoping they would be the cure, however, tonsil stones are more likely to be caused by whatever is causing your bad breath. However, in some cases getting them out does help, and it's also good to eliminate them completely just in case. I was wondering if you still have y...
