I brush my teeth every morning,but 4-6 hours later it smells bad again? What can!


Question: I brush my teeth every morning,but 4-6 hours later it smells bad again? What can i do to solve it?
I brush my teeth EVERY morning. Tongue,gums,bottom and top of my teeth,everything. Really well. I use blue mint listerine mouth wash. Every morning. I brush really good. My teeth look white when I leave.

But when I go to school, 4 hours later it smells bad again. I don't have time to brush them in the bathroom. We're not allowed to have gum or mints or cough drops in school... what can I do?

Answers:

It could be that you're dehydrated...make sure that you're drinking plenty of water all throughout the day.

It could also be that you aren't flossing....there's A LOT of gunk that can get trapped between your teeth and make your breath smell foul, no matter how much you're brushing. Try to think of how you brush, you're basically only reaching half of your teeth, because of the surfaces in between teeth.

If you're not allowed to use gum or mints, and you don't have time to brush, try to make time for a quick rinse and spit, even with just plain water.



buy the listerine patches or the new quick swab toothbrushes....flossing helps a lot more than you know as well...you can buy a tongue scrape as well use that before and after you brush...options are endless @ Walmart pharm...ask a tech there... Google 'bad breathe remedies'...baking soda...a half a peppermint @ the end of lunch...its your mouth @ the end of the day...can anyone tell you NOT to keep it clean?

my mouth told me to answer this one



Try to have breakfast before school. Maybe it was the gas from your stomach the night before.



If I were you I would just chew gum anyway.



sounds like you have a very poor diet. you might want to try to eat better. see if that helps.
