Check your tonsils and see if you'll some yellow patches. Do you have a foul taste in your mouth few minutes or hours after brushing. Do you have noisy stomach? Do you cough out tiny yellow stones that smell bad? Do you have constipation? Your response is needed to tell you your next step.
To be frank, I am just hearing of the tonsils stuff for the first time. I don't even know how to check for yellow patches as you have instructed. I don't cough out tiny yellow stones and I don't have a noisy stomach...

[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font][quote author=Freshbreathneed post=68998645]Hello Nairalanders.

I am a bit of a regular here... but had to create an alt account for anonymity sake.

Like the title of my thread says, i've been suffering from this situation for years now and it's totally reducing my social life to shambles. ANd you may want to ask what I have done about this. I have done alot. I have been to quite a number of dentists. Some say it's a case of scaling and polishing, a procedure I allow them to carry on with, to no avail.

I have tried various mouth washes, various mixtures, various gums and I am getting fed up. I am having difficulties relating well with people outside because I want to always close my mouth. People are beginning to tag me a snub and proud person.

Please, that's why I have turned to you my e-pals. Do you know any powerful solution that has worked for someone you knew with chronic bad breath before? Are you a dentist on this forum and have an idea of how I can get rid of this social killer for good? Please your contributions will be very much appreciated.

Use charcoal it works faster and better Dan any other mouth wash... Blend it and use brush to touch and wash

Long before you finish this you will have destroyed bad breath.

Therabreath was designed by a dentist to stop his daughter's bad breath. Don't know whether it's also sold in Nigeria but I expect it to be at high brow pharmacies.

Most of the commenters are senseless. How can you idiots turn someone’s pain into a joke?

Op, brush you teeth twice a day, morning and night. Everytime you brush, you need to scrape your tongue. Get a spoon and use it to scrape the back of your tongue and move it forward, this might make you gag. But scrape until you are just getting clear saliva. After that, use your toothbrush or a special tongue brush to brush your tongue very well. Rinse your mouth. Get hydrogen peroxide and mix it with equal part water(50/50 ratio mixture). Put the mixture in your mouth and swish around your mouth for one minute(do not do less). Spit it out. Then put another mixture in your mouth and gargle for 30-60seconds. This will wash the back of tongue for you. You can do this mixture practice 4 times a day especially after you just finish eating. So you can pour the mixture in a 3 ounce bottle and take it around with you whenever you go out.

Hopefully this will help you greatly. Make sure you drink plenty water and leave sugary things along. Dry mouth and being dehydrated can cause bad breath. If you have excess dry mouth issue, chew minty gum

Post a picture showing your row of teeth, but without your face showing, if you do mind anyone seeing your face.
Seeing the picture could reveal or give an indication of the cause

Sometimes it could be down to internal issues

It can be down to gingivitis or gum disease
and also could be down to a buildup of bacteria in your mouth or tongue
.
This could cause inflammation apart from giving off smelly odors or gases that smell like sulfur.
Another thing that could cause it, is post nasal drip. You dont suffer from this, do you?
Yeah, I think I suffer from that post nasal drip of a thing.

Sorry about that, but do u know always avoiding people by closing ur mouth will increase the odour. Try to talk always even when u re alone....use chewing stick( dogoyaro) that will make u released saliva.

Thank you for the empathy shown in your first sentence. i ignored those comments because most Nigerians are generally known to be largely insensitive. I expected something like this.

I appreciate your contribution.

1) Wash it mouth twice daily.. D ideal way(before breakfast and after dinner)
2) avoid eating foods with strong smell garlic, onion etc
3) floss ur teeth at least once a day or 3times a week
4) brush ur tongue thoroughly ( u can get a medium hard toothbrush for ur teeth and a hard brush for ur tongue.
5) get chewing gums with strong mint, (orbit) to use during d day after u eat something and can't assess washing ur mouth, it will also help u not to keep ur mouth closed for too long.
6)hydration..... Drink plenty of water.

The quality of the toothpaste u use counts as well.... Also ensure you brush your tongue very well.. Avoid close up... Avoid soft drinks especially coke family cos they will reduce ur mouth ph that way bacteria will be able to grow freely. Avoid suya ,onions...

The smell may be coming from your stomach or throat if there is an infection. If not, you need to get an oral b toothbrush that can reach the back of your teeth. In the morning brush first without paste and floss in between your teeth and then brush with toothpaste thoroughly with the mindset that you want to remove as many bacteria from you mouth as possible. Brush thoroughly your tongue, under your tongue, gums, upper palate and your inner cheeks. Then rinse your mouth with mouthwash to handle the bacteria beyond the reach of your brush. Brush at least twice a day. Don't forget to use anti-bacteria toothpaste. Ask a sincere friend if the situation has improved. God bless you!

If you don’t brush your tongue, then start today. Most stench from the mouth mostly emanates from the tongue and not your teeth.

If you were not born with the bad breath, I have suggestion for you. Go back to a dentist definitely not the first one you went to earlier, let them check you teeth, there is likely a tooth growing were it shouldn't. Trust me on this, I have a friend who had similar problem, my friend tried all methods you listed. Luckily for my friend, it was a "very good" dentist that discovered the tooth.

check the picture below. Use your finger in touching your tonsils and smell it. If it smells bad, then it comes from there. Check if there are yellow parches too.

Get breathrx spray and a tongue scraper. 90 percent of mouth odour emanates from the tongue and it's not enough to brush the tongue because you're merely moving the bacteria around. A tongue scraper is very effective and when used with the breathrx spray will keep your breath fresh fresh for at least six hours.
