You'd get it in a pharmacy, or a cosmetics shop that deal in sales of hair, skin and body products; not those quack ones. Shops sell regular toothpaste, I still bought it last month.

Thanks for sharing this.
Unfortunately for me, I am currently going through this phase. I am in my 3rd year in the uni and I have nothing to show for as bb has affected every part of my life.
I am trying to gather the fee for the surgery as it's the only way. I am sure I will conquer bb, it's just a matter of time.

Dear @Op.
This situation sounds so familiar to me - I really empathise with you.
Storytime - In 2010 I decided I had enough after continuous treatment for tonsilitis since being a teenager! The tonsil stones I used to produce randomly when speaking or coughing and on-demand if I prodded my tonsils were ridiculous. Very smelly, usually small yellow looking things. Like congealed dental plaque. They actually looked like the inner embryo of a seed of corn. Those terrible tonsils were also linked to loads of colds and chest infections. The rate at which I used to fall ill was very high - even people that didn't know me very well always knew I had colds.

My bad breath was caused by having deep holes (crypts) in my tonsils from numerous throat infections. Those holes would harbour food, the food would stay in the holes in my tonsils and the normal buccal bacteria would feed on them. After a while, the food would be ejected as tonsil stones! And they smell foul - if I broke one open, my siblings would run out of the room from the odor. They were the absolute cause of my bad breath. No matter how many times a day I brushed, flossed, used various strengths of mouthwash, my breath was always kicking and disturbing somebody. I don't know how my friends put up with me. One day my bf stopped kissing me to tell me my breath stunk! I'd just cleaned my mouth thoroughly!!! Chai. The shame.

My Primary Care doctor examined me on some occasions. He could see that the problems weren't self resolving or going away. He explained that since I was an adult I had no use for my tonsils. They were a vestigial organ with the main use to protect from infections in childhood. Since they were causing more problems it was better to remove them. My primary Care doctor referred me to an ENT surgeon at a hospital who operated and removed both of my tonsils. It took about 2 weeks to recover in full following the operation and for the scabs to fall off from the wound site. Its been 8 years and I haven't had a single tonsil stone or serious instance of bad breath since.

This is just my personal insight & experience. I notice you'd mentioned touching your tonsil in one of the posts and the smell was bad. That is a very strong indication that all may not be well with your tonsils! I'd definitely get that checked out if I was @op right now. No amount of mouth washing will take care of this mechanical/functional failure on a permanent basis.
Blessings.

Pls can you recommend this your doctor?

Hey Cutieme,
I had the operation done on the NHS in London. I don't recall the surgeon's name. I would recommend that you do some research in your local area for ENT specialists and surgeons and go from there. All the best

Hey @segunernes,

That's the spirit. I'm sure you will definitely conquer this.
I thoroughly empathize with you though regarding the impact on your life in general. Please stick with uni and weather this storm. Please make sure that you have a safe surgeon and that you have someone to help look after you in the first few days post-op. Check online for advice regarding things to eat post-op too.
Happy healing in advance.

Read the article on that link to identify the cause of your bad breath.

That's the only way we can give you an essential oils blend and toothpaste.

but, if you still can't identify the root cause, we can still give you a blend you can try.

You can do your research about essential oils and bad breath for better understanding.

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.


Hi, have you gotten a solution yet?

I did meet with some docs whose fee is affordable, but they are not convinced my tonsils should be removed cos its not inflammed.
Thanks for the kind words.

Hey mehn, its tough what youre going through.
Im a medical student and ive met a couple of people going through what you are. So far though, i think the best place where people have recieved the best results as well as all round care would probably be at Choice Dental Clinic, Lagos. I think you should probably pay them a visit if you still have this problem, although i hope you dont anymore. PLease take care of yourself and do what you can to make your life the best it can be. We only have one
There is this really short youtube video that has their contact details

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpDYq2z2pwc
Their website has so many testimonials too http://www.choicedentalng.net

Make sure you are always chewing bitter cola, it stops mouth odour.

Whoa! @Mii1

This is very profound! I learned some more about tonsilitis from you today than I've ever learned in my 40+ years on earth.

Thank you! x
