Please Help. i have sufferd with bad breath for 10 years and it is really getting to me, i have been to the dentist he said the smell is not coming from my teeth, i have been to the doctors he said it could be coming from my nose so he gave me some tablets but that did'nt work, i brush my teeth and tongue twice a day and use a tongue scraper plus an alcohol free mouthwash but still no good. it does not smell when i burp so its not coming from my stomach, where is it coming from and what can i do to get rid of it? if any one has any suggestions i would be forever greatful, thank u in advance, bob.

Morning Bob, sorry I dont have an answer for you but I just googled it and from what I have read, I would go back to your doctor. Although he gave you tablets for you nose there are many other causes eg, liver/kidney problems, throat infections etc. He will need to address all of these possible causes and eliminate them. Since you have been to your dentist and your teeth are ok then you can be pretty sure its not that.

10 years is a long time to suffer this and I am sure you are totally fed up, have you looked at the types of foods you eat? Smoking and eating garlic will not help the situation.

I do sympathise with you as mrwarpig suffered this for a while and it really did get him down, turns out a few trips to the dentist sorted him out. But go back to your doctor and keep going until its sorted for you own peace of mind.

good luck

Thanks for your answer warpig i think i might have to go back to the doctors, the problem is its a bit embarasing and its hard to get time off work.

If anybody else has been through the same problem i would be grateful for some advice, Or any doctors want to comment it would save me going to see mine.

Question Author
thanks redhead for your comments

I've been using retardex mouthwash and spray for six months now, at first i thought they were working,
my mouth taste better and i did'nt have to use as many mints as i used to,
but when i talk to people i still notice them backing off.

I mean it could be what i eat? i dont eat really healthy food "but Who Does" i eat the same as my friends and family and they dont smell,
I do drink once a week "like my friends".

I dont know i could go back to my doctor but whats he gonna do fog me off with some more tablets? like that helps!

ooh man igive up thanx for your comments anyway.
At least your teeth sound OK, but did your dentist mention your gums?
BOB .
dont let it become a obsession no one is perfect , mabye just dont stand so close when chatting

are u sure they are backing off ? im thinking u are expecting them too so poss imagiging it xx
Ten year's does seem rather a long time.....
Have had bad breath for about 18 years now and just passed by to see if anyone had any advise.
If I was waking up next to someone then I might be more bothered about it, but at the mo' its only me who gets to smell it. I don't have any money to buy any sprays, mouthwashes, Floss or books. My Dentist said I'd grow out of it (obviously haven't) and there's no way I'd get a Doctor's appointment if I told the receptionist it was about bad breath!
Anyway, I've been drinking a mug of boiled water with a slice of Lemon each morning which tends to hold off the whiff until the evening.
