Bad Breath :(

---

How do you get rid of bad breath? And what causes it? I do brush my teeth

Are you brushing your tongue and flossing daily too?

i dunno how to floss... the dentist makes it look soo easy and i try to do it and i just dont have the patience for it.. i like those little sticks that you just put in you mouth... listerine is soppose to replace flossing though i was thinkin of looking into that

a tongue scraper...a lot of bacteria lives on your tongue,tri-oral, a mouth wash works great, do it twice a day and pretty soon you don't even wake up with morning breath, you have to get it over the internet though, they don't sell it in stores

listerine and mouth wash doesn't replace flossing. Buying one of those "Reach Flossers", it's great. Just place the floss in between each tooth.Amanda is right (as usual ), a lot of bacteria lives on your tongue. Also, if you have wisdom teeth, those carry a lot of bacteria which you can't clean properly and that is why they are removed.

yeah but what does flossing do? it gets the crap outa the crevices of your teeth... you can use listerine which is a liquid which can get inbetween cracks a lot easier

thats it!!! you go through all that pain and it just sterilizes it!!!

nothing but floss is going to reach into the crevices to get out the plaque

any grocery store, they sell them right where the toothpaste and toothbrushes are

speakin about bad breath i get these little things in my tonsels and they wreak!!! they smell like shit... i was born without the peice of skin that stops your toungue from doin touching your tounsels so i can play around with them and i have to push them in order to get these little white things that smell. its givin me horrible breath anybody know what i can do to get rid of them?

Is that the frenum under the tongue that you are missing, HeHe?

i dunno what the hell its called but its like a lil sheet of skin that it like connects the bottom of the mouth to the bottom of the toungue... i mean my toungue it connected and all but not where it should be

They're totally right, the tongue, tonsils, and adenoids are packed full of bacteria. One place that bad breath often comes from is within the tonsil crypts a build up called tonsil stones.

Well between this one and 3 more just like it, Id say its been done again and again.

If you're hungry your breath can smell stomach acid.
