Help...After brushing my teeth after an hour, my breath goes bad again?

After brushing my teeth well after an hour, my breath goes bad again? And when I use a mouthwash, although it does well for approximately two hours, my breath stinks again. I don't even smoke.





What seems to be the problem? What should I do to avoid bad breath permanently?

Help...After brushing my teeth after an hour, my breath goes bad again?
remember to brush your tongue as far back as you can comfortably. most bad breath bacteria is found far back on the tongue.





you may also have halitosis, which is caused by sour stomach acids, and can be induced by what you eat. you would have to see a doctor or nutritionist for that.

Reply:Try using Peroxcyle (spelling is wrong i think) it is mouth wash. You may have a gum infection even if your gums are not painful. You can get it at any drug store. This worked for me, sometimes it didn't even take a whole hour for my breath to go bad. Try to breath threw your nose as much as possible so you mouth doesn't get dryed out.
Reply:Bad breath, also known as halitosis, is breath that has an unpleasant odor. This odor can strike periodically or be persistent, depending on the cause. In many people, the millions of bacteria that live in the mouth (particularly on the back of the tongue) are the primary causes of bad breath. The mouth's warm, moist conditions make an ideal environment for these bacteria to grow. Most bad breath is caused by something in the mouth.


Some types of bad breath, such as "morning mouth," are considered to be fairly normal, and they usually are not health concerns. The "morning mouth" type of bad breath occurs because the saliva that regularly washes away decaying food and odors during the daytime diminishes at night while you sleep. Your mouth becomes dry, and dead cells adhere to your tongue and to the inside of your cheeks. Bacteria use these cells for food and expel compounds that have a foul odor.





In addition, bad breath can be caused by the following:





Poor dental hygiene — Infrequent or improper brushing and flossing can leave food particles to decay inside the mouth.








Infections in the mouth — Periodontal (gum) disease








Respiratory tract infections — Throat infections, sinus infections, lung infections








External agents — Garlic, onions, coffee, cigarette smoking, chewing tobacco








Dry mouth (xerostomia) — This can be caused by salivary gland problems, medications or by "mouth breathing."








Systemic illnesses — Diabetes, liver disease, kidney disease, lung disease, sinus disease, reflux disease and others








Psychiatric illness — Some people may perceive that they have bad breath, but it is not noticed by oral-health-care professionals or others. This is referred to as "pseudohalitosis."





Symptoms











A person may not always know that he or she has bad breath. This phenomenon is because odor-detecting cells in the nose eventually become accustomed to the constant flow of bad smells from the mouth. Others may notice and react by recoiling as you speak.


Other associated symptoms depend on the underlying cause of bad breath:





Poor dental hygiene — Teeth are coated with film or plaque, food debris trapped between teeth, pale or swollen gums








Infections in the mouth — Gums may be red, swollen and bleed easily, especially after brushing or flossing; pus may drain from between teeth; a pocket of pus (abscess) at the base of a tooth; loose teeth or a change in "fit" of a denture; painful, open sores on the tongue or gums








Respiratory tract infections — Sore throat, swollen lymph nodes ("swollen glands") in the neck, fever, stuffy nose, a greenish or yellowish nasal discharge, a mucus-producing cough








External agents — Cigarette stains on fingers and teeth, a uniform yellow "coffee stain" on teeth








Dry mouth — Difficulty swallowing dry foods, difficulty speaking for a prolonged period because of mouth dryness, a burning sensation in the mouth, an unusually high number of dental caries, dry eyes (in Sjögren's syndrome)








Systemic (bodywide) illnesses — Symptoms of diabetes, lung disease, kidney failure or liver disease
Reply:Sounds like you have chronic halitosis. I know some people who swear by a line of products called Breath RX. It is over the counter (I know they sell it at Target). Give it a try and see if that works for ya.

Reply:Sometimes our tongue needs a good cleanning. It can cause a bad breath syndrome even after mouth wash. I use Thera Breath Toothpaste OXYO-8 and a toungue scraper for good results. Also try a alcohol-free mouth wash such as Biotene Mouthwash. After you use these two items you will feel better. Make sure you keep your dental appointments for teeth cleanning.
Reply:It may be due to Gum Problem.Brush ur teeth twice a day using Peposodent Gum Care toothpaste using Colgate 360 Degree brush.





Use a mouth wash after u eat. even use a mouthwash even after u take coffee. always have the habit of gogling with fresh water.
Reply:well, you could change to a vegetarian diet.


Sometimes things like garlic, onions, cabbage, certain cheeses make you smell but they are good (to eat) to keep your body healthy. You know now baking soda keeps the refrigerator smelling good by disbursing the bad smells? Well when we were growing up we used to use baking soda on our toothbrush instead of using toothpaste (so we got clean teeth and nice smelling mouth). Anyway, if you have a sour stomach, every so many months you can mix about half a teaspoon in a full glass of water and drink that. It will take care of the mo.





If you have bad teeth, get them fixed as that "may" be the cause of the odor. And, be sure to brush your tongue with toothpaste when you brush your teeth.
