Breath help? Desperate for a solution!?!

Question: Breath help? Desperate for a solution!?

I have embarrassing bad breath, and there's nothing I can do about it, it seems. I floss, brush, use mouthwash, and even scrape my tongue clean (gross, right? Sorry.) twice daily, and nothing helps. There is a persistent yellowish white coating on my tongue, and it grows back quickly, no matter how many times I scrape it off. I believe that this is the source of my bad breath. It has a sickly smell, like that of an infection.It has been this way for years, but I've been able to keep it under control until now. Sucking on mints and chewing gum doesn't even cover it up anymore! What can I do?

Answers:

It sounds possibly medical rather than dental such as an issue with your digestive system causing the smell to come up into your throat? A build up of bacteria causes bad breath in your mouth but your Oral Hygiene is 10/10 and you are doing everything you can so its in unlikely to be that. If you smoke this can cause unstoppable bad breath due to the chemicals in tobacco. It could be a throat infection. A fruity or sickly smell on breathe is related to conditions like diabetes and a fishy smell is related to a kidney problem. There is a website called Medlineplus which detailed breath issues , have a look there but best plan is to go to doctor rather than getting paranoid of possible health issues.

I think you might have a serious problem and you should seek medical attention soon.

Dentist have something that can help you, you just need money though for them to do this.
