Answers:
You can have bad breath / Halitosis for many reasons :
1!. Dry mouth or xerostomia : Because of the lack of saliva, there is simply no washing effect!. Every little thing sits in your mouth, gets putrefied and causes the bad breath!. The following artilce will explain more and give you ideas as to how to handle that :
http://www!.associatedcontent!.com/article!.!.!.
2!. Inadequate oral hygiene : I know you brush your teeth, but do you floss!. Food particles can stay stuck between your teeth as well and rinsing with Listerine is not an alternative!.
3!. Do you get regular cleanings (once every 6 months) done !? Poor oral hygiene due to poor home care and long-time negligence can result in gum disease!. If you do not seek professional dental care for a long time, you will develop these problems!.
No matter how much one tries, one cannot get rid of the bad germs from growing into the hard to reach areas!. It is also hard to prevent the tartar build up altogether!. You will have to get that removed or eliminated by getting the professional cleaning done!. Regular flossing and brushing cannot get the hard tartar off!. Special tools are required to do that by the professionally trained dentists and hygienists!.
Once the hard tartar forms, that in turn harbors more bad germs and initiates local destruction of the bone!. That gradually creates more gap between the gums and the teeth, resulting in more food and germ impaction, and worse mouth odor!.
If untreated, the vicious cycle continues!. Gradually, the teeth become very loose!. If treatment is sought at this point, the dentist recommends a 'deep cleaning' (which is called Scaling and Root Planing)!. Usually the periodontists and the hygienists evaluate you on a case basis and make that call!.
4!. These days dentists and hygienists recommend brushing your tongue as well, because food particles stay stuck in the crevices of the tongue also!. You can ask for a tongue scraper the next time you see them!.
5!. Your diet also plays a role!. If you eat too mauch garlic, for instance!. Also, for example, if you drink milk or even orange juice, you cannot let that sit in your mouth for long!. You have to chase it with water!. That will minimize some bad odor!.
6!. Skipping meals will increase the amount of gastric secretion / acidity causing damage to the teeth, more bad breath and malnutrition!.
7!. Sometimes bad mouth odor can be the earliest indication of some underlying medical conditions that can be brewing, like Diabetes or GERD (Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disorder) / acidity!.
8!. Rinsing with Listerine just masks the bad odor temporarily!. It won't take the problem away!. Most of the time bad odor / smell is caused because the germs ferment the residual food particles!. So, if you can kill those germs that will help!. According to basic Microbiology, those bad germs cannot thrive in the presence of salt!. Therefore, instead of Listerine, rinse with luke warm salt water every night!. Make sure you have dinner, brush and floss and rinse with it!. Go to bed like that!. Let it sit in your mouth the whole night!. Don't rinse it off with plain water!. You can use it multiple times throughout the day!. Add only a pinch of salt in a glass of luke warm water!. You don't want to make the solution too caustic!. Make it warmer if you can tolerate a little bit more temperature!. You can continue that the rest of your life without any problem!.
Try all of these!. You WILL see results!.
Don't forget to see your medical doctor and dentist on a regular basis though!.
Hope this helped!. Good luck !Www@Answer-Health@Com

you probably need to scrape your tongue!. another cause of bad breath is a a dirty tongue!.
scrape your tongue, especially toward the back and you WILL see a difference!.

to help get rid of that bacteria, use mouthwash!. mouthwash not only cleans your tongue and teeth but also takes out the bacteria of the side of your mouth :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

You (duh) brush your teeth twice a day everyday, floss when you brush (you floss to get the food that's stuck between your teeth so that the food won't rot *rotting food makes for stinky breath*), and you should use mouth wash! Nothing can make teeth fresher than mouth wash! (keep a mini mouth wash with you everywhere so that you can always pull it out)Www@Answer-Health@Com
ok, the key to fresh breath is this
* you have to get a teeth and mouth cleaning every 3 months
* take your toothbrush to school and brush after lunch ( or take it to work)
* dont eat a lot of junk food, cause it makes your breath smell sometimes!! eat healthy foods!!!!
*get a better toothpaste!. one that restores enamel and is MINTY not cinnamon or tropical, MINTY!!!!
hope i helped!!!! GOOD LUCK!!!!! :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
