Ok, i have oerfect teeth- straight, no cavities, brush twice a day, and unfortunatly i dont floss but even when i do it still smells. i had braces for 6 years and no i wear a retainer at night, I have had a wire on the first 5 front lower teeth for a year or 2. now my question is how come my sliva smells bad?
-
Saliva smell?(nothing to do with sex or anything)
-
Sometimes tonsils can smell really rank. They have a very distinct odor, and in some cases, have white spots/chunks coming out of them (ew). If that's the case, you may want to see a doctor.
-
This has been a issue for as long as i can remember and my tonsils are fine. But thanks.
-
so im not alone? YAY
-
Tonsillolith -- they may be stinky, but they're not harmful. Someone mentioned that he stopped getting them when he gave up dairy products. Other people claim a conection between allergy activity and "stone" production.
-
Holy shit dude, i have those....TO THE DENTIST (jumps out window)
-
hmm, i hope it was a one story window. otherwise things could get messy
-
depending on what is causing the smell, this may or may not help but try rinsing and gargling a couple or three times a day with a good mouthwash. It could just be some nasty stuff not gettign cleaned out of the back of the mouth by brushing alone.
-
...things like tonsilloliths.
-
- it was 11 stories2)ill try the mouthwash idea3)so if i have the tonsilloliths the only cure is surgery?
-
if i have the tonsilloliths the only cure is surgery?I get them occasionally. I just hack them out when I'm in the shower. If you get them often, you might want to try avoiding dairy products and see what happens. Otherwise, I don't know...I guess surgery is an option, if it bothers you that much. But it would have to bother me an awful lot before I'd go under the knife.
-
In reply to:I licked my finger, blew on it and smelled it... Ha, I wonder how many people that read this will try it! I tried it before I even read that last part.
-
im not planning on getting surgery on something as menial as this but im going to see what my dentist says...tommorow(iwas overdue anyway, my teeth feel grimy).
-
I just hack them out when I'm in the shower. That's really sexy, Steve. I got to tell you, I got really turned on when I read that... The image of you in the shower, coughing out chunks... Rawr!
-
nah its only like 1 little piece, about the size of a grain of rice and they might only come every 1 or 2 weeks. But u have to admit, it is really sexy
-
It hasn't happened in a while. Maybe someday I'll hack out a golf ball.Squeezin' out a turd on the terlit is also very sexy.
-
well i just got home from the dentist and i got great news. I have 2 small cavities, isn't that great? im going next tuesday for the fillings.
-
SteveA, thank you. thank you very much. I was sooo worried when I saw white stuff coming out of my tonsils. I though it was a tumor or something. But now after I read all that stuff, I am sooo relieved. I was just to scared to go to a doctor to find out that it was a tumor or something. Thanks again!!!
-
well i just came back from the densist yesterday and he said my teeth were good, no fillings needed and to keep up the good brushing. HA! i win!
