yea i would check with the dentist

Do you floss your teeth? The greatest cause of halitosis is bacteria in the mouth. Listerine will not clear out the food particles between your teeth.

floss. brush ur tongue!!! that really helps, if u can, by one of those tongue stick things that take all the crap off ur tongue. if worse comes to worse chew gum!

if you have cavities, getting them fixed will fix the problem. If you have a dry mouth due to medications you take or being a mouth breather..try using biotene toothpaste and mouthwash. Other than that, try keeping Listerine pocket-packs on hand to use. If you don't know why you have persistent bad breath you may want to see your doctor..it could be a sign of a medical condition other than hygiene or dental.

it can be from tooth decay. The best thing for you to do is go to the dentist and they will clean them and fix anything else that may be causing the smell. It is very common among people that do not go to the dentist when they are supposed to, to get a good cleaning. Hope this helps!

brush your toungue, drink more water, eat parsely, and chew gum

Please make an appointment with your dentist. You may have a cavity, a rotten tooth or tooth root, gum problems. It also may be a sinus drainage issue.

Go to the dentist. You might have gingivitis or periodontal disease. Also, try flossing.

Yes my older sister suffers from the same thing, even after she brushes her breath is bad. I think it's a fungus or something, but to be 100% certain I would visit the dentist

Take really good care of your mouth. Brush 2 times a day (or more) gently for 2 mins each time. Floss daily. And brush your tongue. Bad breath can hang around on your tongue. So use a regular toothbrush or a tongue scrapper on your tongue. If your tongue is white (or blackish if you smoke) then you need to keep brushing it til it looks more pinkish. And keep using mouthwash. Also you can purchase breath tablets that you swallow or liquid breath mint that you put a few droplets on your tongue. Go to any local pharmacy and look in the toothpaste and floss aisle. If you can find it look up at the register for both. Ask if you still cant find them.

Gargle a cup of lukewarm water mixed with salt or half a lemon juice.This is best done before going to bed. Chew parsley leaves,which are sure to keep your breath fresh. More useful remedies at http://useinfo5.blogspot.com/

if you love her so much, you need to have the courage to tell him honestly. i know that truth will always hurt in so many cases. you need to think about this, people with bad breath do not usually notice that they have foul mouth right under their nose. they also need to rely on others honesty, concern, kindness and help.

you can have a private conversation with your girlfriend and tell him in a nice way about your concerns. and this will save her from future embarrassment. you can also suggest that he should get to the dentist.

recommend proper oral hygiene or you can offer her nicely a bottle of good all natural care product that can help fight the cause of bad breath.
