I had a SERIOUS bad breath problem a few
years ago, but started taking Flonase
which COMPLETELY eradicated whatever it
was in my sinuses that was causing it (I
do have post-nasal drip). The odor back
then was fecal…YUCK! if you have this
problem, ask your Dr. and try FLONASE or
it's generic equivalent!!! this saved me
so much misery you can't believe.
My tongue has been coated with something
(can’t recall if it has always been like
this or not…) and I scraped it with a
tongue scraper today and a bunch of
“slime” came off of it and it smelled
badly. but now my breath has been a little
better since (says my wife, bless her
heart )
i brush regularly and get cleaning every 6
months, so it isn't an oral hygiene
problem. but i will start to implement the
tongue scraper more regularly.
from a few hours of online research here
is what tips i have picked up:
1) one fella posted: I then heard about
a very cheap method to alleviate the
problem via the internet. The solution
costs about 99p in most chemists and it
really does work a treat. i was astonished
by its ability to instantly stop any bad
breath. The product is Hydrogen Peroxide
3% solution (Do not use a dilution rate
above 3% ie: 6% or more, as it may cause
you harm) mix a small amount of the
solution with salt and warm water and
gargle for about three minutes twice
daily. I can vouch for its effectiveness
as can my wife. It works by providing more
oxygen into the mouth killing the bacteria
which apparently doesn't like oxygen.
2) one gal posted: Green tea and
peppermint tea contain properties that can
reduce and suppress the chemicals that
cause bad breath.
3) another gal posted: The ONLY thing
that has worked for me is Orbit Cinnamon
gum. Sometimes, I have the most DISGUSTING
taste in my mouth and the gum totally
wipes it out. NO OTHER gum has
worked.
(obviously not a permanent fix... tho i
will state that while i haven't tried Cin
ORBIT, i do like the Peppermint ALTOIDS
gum for covering bad breath!!!)
i tried the green tea and will wait 'til
tomorrow a couple hours after i wake to
try the
3%HP-with-salt-and-warm-water-gargle
so has anyone found something that has
CURED bad breath for them?
thanx

problem solved!
scraping my tongue had the biggest
impact.
i also took heed to the counsel in my 1st
post up top, tips #1 & #2.
gargling w/ the Hyd. Perox. + saltwater
for a couple minutes. also drinking green
tea.
not sure which of the 3 did it, but heck,
it didn't cost me a dime!
