Bad Breathe
Posted: 10-17-07 13:47pm

Does anyone know what bad breath would mean in a 12 month old? I have heard and infection in the body but I just want to see what others think. It sounds weird I know but his teeth get brushed daily so it's not that kind of bad breathe. It is almost a sweet smell.

do you brush his tongue?? The tongue harbors more germs than the teeth/gums.

Try brushing his tongue and see how it goes!

Sometimes a sweet smelling breath can mean an issue with sugar. I worked with a woman doing home health and sometimes we would walk in her room would smell kind of sweet like juicy fruit. She was diabetic.
