What to do for bad breath, Please help
Bad Breath
I have never had a cavity, I do not drink soda nor do I smoke. I also do not have braces and have very healthy teeth and gums as per my last dental check up only two months ago. The thing is I do have horrible bad breath.
I do not know why. I brush my teeth twice a day morning and night. I use mouthwash and I brush my tongue too. I floss once to twice a day but still have this really bad breath. It came to the point that I carry a little bottle of Listerine on me and I am always chewing gum or mints.
I hate taking to people up close and although I have a boy friend I do not get to close to him either because of my breath. Going to school is a pain because I am always worried about my breath and people craking jokes about me behind my back. I am at loss as to what to do. I know it is not my teeth or gums and I really do not think it has to do with the foods I am eating. Can you give me advise on what are some other reasons for bad breath. That way I might have a change to do something about it. I need all the information you can give me.

If you are 100% sure the cause of your bad breath is not coming from your teeth and or gums, then try talking to your doctor for advise.
Some times bad breath can be cause by
1) Sinus conditions
2) Smoking
3) Dry mouth
4) Other Health Issues
5) Think about having a consultation with a medical doctor. Your doctor will of course know what types of conditions to look for but, in general, they will look for problems associated with the respiratory (pulmonary or bronchial), hepatic (liver), renal (kidney), and gastrointestinal (stomach and intestine) systems.

I know just how you feel. I too suffer from really bad breath. Just like you my breath had nothing to do with my teeth or gums being bad. For me it was a sinus condition.
I have really bad sinuses so it effective my breath. Knowing this help me control my bad breath because I knew when my sinus was acting up so would my bad breath so I had mints on me during that time.

I would check all the possible reason for you bad breath. Go to the doctor have him look into it. See you dentist again just to make sure. In the mean time try chewing sugar free gum.
