Hi Jesse,

Are you drinking plenty of fluids a day (preferably no-sugar)?

Have you considered if it is a yeast infection, pharmacies sell medication over the counter to prevent this.

Use a Flouride based toothpaste, the more Flouride the better to remove plaque and bacteria from your teeth, tongue and cheeks (some people with bad breathe will have white inner-cheeks). You can but Tongue toothbrushes from Ebay, if need be, they are cheap.

Look in a mirror to see if there is any holes in your teeth, Food can stick between teeth and accumulate in holes, which will cause bad breathe even though you do not suffer from tooth ache.

Sometimes getting rid of your natural teeth is not the answer, you can still have bad breath without teeth (You can even get toothache with no teeth, it sounds strange, but true). Dentures tend to cause yeast build up, this is why they recommend removing them every 12 hours and cleaning them overnight.

Have you considered breathing through your nose, instead of your mouth? This is a preventative to Dry Mouth.

In the long term you have to look at the facts if none of the above work which are either illnesses or diseases. Some to be aware of are:

Respiratory Tract infections such as Pneumonia or Bronchitis,

Chronic sinus infections,

Postnasal drip,

Diabetes,

Chronic acid reflux, and

Liver or kidney problems.

If you need teeth removed, and especially in your 30's - 40's, it is possible to get a problem where a clot will not form correctly, but fall out which exposes the jaw bone, it takes about 7-10 days to clear up because you have to attend the dentist every 1-2 days for the hole to be packed again. This I have experienced first hand, and the pain is about ten times worse than a toothache. It depends on your sex and age, women are more prone to it then men.

Try some of the suggestions I've mentioned and see how you get on. A dentist would be your best bet, but if you're like most of us it is impossible to afford. If you have children you can claim Tax Credits which is an Exemption as long as they are in further education.

Regards,

Les.

Hi Jesse1976,

You are not alone, I have gone through the same situation. I have avoided been around people because when I am around people and talking I notice them putting their hands on their mouth and look around as if somebody has farted. My close friend, who is very open ,often asks me if I farted. I am a very clean person and I do brush and floss my teeth. I have tid lots of things with no success. But I do know that I have acid reflux and that makes the food we eat to come baacck up to our troat and that causes the smell. Th thing is that our small intestine is very close to our duodenum and stomach, so, imagine our food mixed with stomach acid hits the small intestines and backs up... So, My Doctor finally gave me a good mdication, two of them actually that prevents that to happen, and guess what? My breath is so much better now. She told me to take those two pills and eat lots of raw vegetables, and not over eat, and not eat after 8:00pm. TThis is actually working for me. I know everybody's case is different but I think that it is worth it to keep asking your Doctor to try something else. I do not think having fake teeth would help. Just keep your natural teeth clean and insist seeing a Doctor and telling her/him exactly what ou wrote here. I did that.

Good luck

Hi Jesse, I'm going thru this for over a year but I haven't given up on following up w docs and specialists. I also went to another dentist and they don't want to get rid of my teeth roots but want to do a deep cleaning under my gums. I have to go tmrrw.

I am also waiting for my specialist to talk w my GI bc he smelled my halitosis and other symptoms and suspects I have a stomach issue. So I'm waiting on approval for those exams.

When I notice the odor I can't beleive it myself but I have to find an answer to this.

continue to go to your docs because I finally found one that is willing to figure this out w me.

We all deserve quality care especially when you eat healthy drink water but nothing helps.

Also, I have a hernia but told it is not the reason for the BB.

Hi Jesse, not much help but I suffer the exact same with the regular smell of farts coming from me and filling a room. Drs and dentists are not much help at all.

I had bb for as long as I can remember and anything I eat or drink is amplified and my saliva stinks. I did get some joy with triple therapy after testing positive for h-pylori, but my bb returns after I stop taking the antibiotics. I'm trying probiotics with salverene - will let u know if that helps... Not hopeful :-(
