Sometimes the cause of bad breath can be related to an unhealthy stomach. Eat your leafy greens, cut down on sugars and keep hydrated with water as your main source of fluid. My confidence was at 0. Looking after my stomach changed all that. It's a simple case of encouraging healthy stomach bacteria, and there are many foods and drinks that can help.

I just want to share my story... I used to have bad breath too. Lasted for almost 30 years. It started when I was in high school (maybe earlier) with oral bad breath only. Through the years, it got worse and I developed nasal bb. People would smell my breath even when I wasn't talking. It is one of the most embarrasing and humiliating period of my life especially when I started working. People could be rude and mean. Some made me aware they know my breath stinks. I tried literally everything to get rid of it: Therabreath toothpaste and mouthwash and other regular mouthwashes Baking soda Antibiotics (Flagyl, clarithromycin, amoxicillin clav, Rifaximin) Antifungal (Flucanozole) Oral and gut probiotics Liquid chlorophyll I have seen a lotttt of doctors from at least three countries I've worked in: Dentist ENT Gastroentrologist Endocrinologist I have done a lot of tests: Barium swallow Abdominal ultrasound Endoscopy Paranasal CT scan Hundreds of urine and blood tests All normal results... I also had two (healthy) wisdom teeth removed... I even went to a halitosis specialist/clinic and spent 3K USD... I avoided sugar, dairy and gluten for 6 months... Nasal bb went away but oral bb is still present. Then, I decided to have my tonsils removed. I was hesitant at first because of the recovery process and I wasn't even sure if it would work. But I was desperate and I feel like I have nothing to lose. I owe it to myself because what if? After all, it's the only thing I haven't done. So, I had a tonsillectomy. Long story short, I am now cured and I promise to share this story to those who like me, have tried everything and nothing worked. It could be your tonsils. I also now have the pinkiest tongue ever, after the tonsillectomy. Disclaimer, I don't get tonsil stones that often, maybe once a month, but everytime I would poke my right tonsil really hard and far, my finger would smell really bad even when there are no stones. Left tonsil is okay, no smell. Also, recovery isn't that bad. I recovered in two weeks, but felt the worst pains on Days 6-8 only. Other days are bearable and manageable as long as you take your pain meds. AND You will have the worst breath during the recovery period because of the scabs and mucus and because your throat is healing, but IT IS NORMAL. I hope this comment helps some people who are experiencing the same.

one of the positive sides of pandemic is that nobody complains that you have bad breath ..due to physical distancing and of course by the help of face mask😁😁😁

Honestly the best video I have ever seen about bad breath

I battled through a very bad breath problem from age 12 until late 20s. I developed great oral hygiene habits in my twenties but somehow nothing was working. Long story but eventually I got swabs of my mouth (tongue, palate, molars) sent to a lab, and I was found to have 5 bacteria infections in my throat and mouth. Several courses of antibiotics later, I'm able to manage it. Just normal morning breath but after brushing, smells normal. Xylotol gum also helps, along with smart mouth mouth wash. Of course you still have to keep up the regular hygiene (brushing, tongue scraping, flossing) to make sure those bacteria don't build up again above the normal threshold. Also, if you have a runny nose and feel it going back down your throat, that can contribute to bacteria build-up too so think about treating postnasal drip. Some also have tonsil stones, that tends to produce the worst of smells

something I would like to add that most of dental professional missed is Tonsilolith or Tonsil Stone. Not everyone has this, but when one does have it in their tonsil, the breath can be really bad. It won't go away even if you take out all your teeth and tongue.

This guy is a legend he reply’s to most comments what a g 👍🏻

Brush your teeth more than two minutes, keep drinking water. Eat fruits, before having lunch take salad

Seeing his perfect set of teeth: I believe him🙆‍♀️

It's the way he kept smiling all through for me

Wearing masks and having to breath our own breath has made me realise my breath is quite normal and tolerable

When I floss the utensil I use usually smells when I remove it .my question is what could have cause this?

I think that tonsil stones and food particles that enter the cavities of the tonsil can also cause bad breath.

I feel very sad that there is no single solution to permanently treat bad breath. You guys need to work to find the solution. It can't be ok that a great proportion of adults have bad breath and it has always been a very sensitive issue because there is no permanent solution and people are careful not to say anything bad to their loved ones. Help people please, this situation is very serious. Find treatment, drugs that people can take as prescription to get healed and enjoy life.

One of the best videos I've seen on this subject, succinct and honest.

Thanks a lot! I hope you could discuss receding gums too.

I liked the pictures they drew of bad breathd, a haze with a spirit coming from their mouth and spider web. Lol.

There underlying issue causing halitosis. I have acid reflux, and heartburn. There is no problem with my teeth. I’ve tried name it everything to stop bad breath but only one helped me it is by drinking CHLOROPHYLL. Just one week my i dont have bad breath. My husband even told me he doesn’t smell my stinky breath anymore. ❤️

Very informative thank you!

How long does the bad breath stay away after treatment for periodontitis?

Excellent advice in a nutshell.

Which paste is better to use .....and is there any disadvantages to daily use of mouthwash.

Chronic Conditions That Cause Bad Breath This condition causes thickened mucus in the lungs, and as a result many CF patients have recurrent airway infections and post-nasal drip. This disease is inherited and has no cure, so the thickened mucus and difficulty breathing may always be a concern.

Hey doc... I always get cuts on my tongue and bad breath... What could b the cause of the cuts?

I am also suffering from bad breath 😷 and it keeps me depressed ,I lose my confidence ,I have less friends and people talk to me closing their mouth and nose and this makes me more embarrassed ,I also feel like kinda bullied

Best to salt water rinse, support a healthy gut biome with fermented food, avoid citric acid as it causes dry mouth, check your on-site or stones. Then also check dental conditions.

I have always struggled all my life with bad breathe and my wife and I had a huge fight because I didn’t want to listen to her. Now this Dr confirmed what she said. Need to take care of my mouth

Hello there Doctor. I had Invisalign Clear braces two years ago, and only had them in for one month. For 2 years I’ve been having the most unbearable pain. My top front teeth feel like all the fluid has been sucked out, the pain is very stinging. I get burning tongue syndrome with the teeth pain too. I’m at witts end and can’t seem to find any doctor to help me. I’m a 51 year old female who had been in good health all her life. I can’t work because of this problem. I’m absolutely miserable and depressed AF. There are days where I feel that I can’t go on with life anymore. Not saying I would do anything, but I’m self sabotaging and isolating myself, please, I’m literally begging for help. I live in Los Angeles and getting broke as my funds are running out. I just don’t know what to do anymore

I sleep all the time with my mouth open I drool excessively and when I brush is to no avail at times it’s ok more times I feel worse🤦‍♀️

Is bleeding gum also responsible for bad breath? My lower gums from first five teeth in the front part start bleeding even after soft touch while there is no bleeding from other part of gums.Please suggest me some advice to get rid of bad breath.

Thanks for the Information

Last few months I started to use histogram peroxide instead of expensive listeria. Plus I mix it with backing soda and gently brush with it instead of toothpaste or on top Also I scrape my tongue and floss and rinse again with peroxide alone or with backing soda. I swear I don’t have any bed breath even in mornings. No smell at all like baby.

The gas in the stomach also contributes to bad breath, doing daily anema with Luke warm water is the king of all deseas

I have removed two of my wisdom teeth. I have two other wisdom teeth that are coming I’m inclined and my dentist has told me to remove them, but I haven’t yet. Could this be causing bad breath?

Nice video sir!

Oil pulling with coconut oil is a great thing you need to do if you can. It will take care of everything.

Key word !!! Bacteria comes from cavities & cavities leads to you becoming a hummingbird 😆😂🤣.

Hello Doctor, i see you answer to a lot of people so im gonna try it too.. I have a long time breath problem which is caused by mouthbreathing. I searched it up what effect this could have. The problem is, i dont remember my nose being empty at any point in my life to breath "good". I can breath of course but not enough. I also had my nose amygdala removed at age of 5. Which later a study said its forbidden to remove it from kids under 7. Maybe it created a problem? I dont need a long answer, just an assumption? Thank you
