The problem is not just in your mouth, it stems from your guts.
Answer these questions:

Do you drink enough water?
Do you eat fruits?
Do you eat foods with a lot of fiber?
gbam!
how many nigerians take enough fruits?
many would rather drink 5 alive juice or any artificial fruit juice
some have replaced their fluid with beer and coke rather than water and beer and coke dehydrates the body when taken excess
carrots,oranges are rich in fibers but many ppl prefer artificial juice
when someone has chronice mouth odor what the body is telling the person is that his guts needs a good diet.eating menthol or pepermint would solve it.the diet needs a total overhaul cheesy

Do you drink enough water?

I have once drank 150cl of eva water at a stretch. I also do move about with pure water satchet.

Do you eat fruits?

Fruits are kind of expensive and ears a lot to my school pocket money.
1 small apple sells at 100 bucks.
1 big apple at 150.
1 apple at 100 * Once daily * 7 days a week = 700 bucks.

When I have handouts to buy?
I am left with two options, eat fruits and stay hungry for the week or leave fruits and eat better heavy food to last for the weekend...

Do I still need to tell you which one I chose?


Do you eat foods with a lot of fiber?

I do when I see them.
lol forget apples.apples would be expensive in nigeria since nigeria does no cultivate but import it .try cheaper fruits like carrots,mangoes,oranges and water melon.u can buy a slice or two slices of water melon from a hausa man at a cheap price nau.what of bananas? or vegetables? If u include them in ur diet it will clean up ur gastro intestinal system.I am sure dats where the odor is coming from.i dont think adding a 5o naira vegetable to ur pot of soup regularly would be dat expensive nau.wen u bowel system is good it will also help on ur breath.

This guy called bad breath have haunted me all the way from primary school down to secondary and even to my university level.

I am still a young 19 years old guy at the peak of youthfulness but this guy is just ruining everything for me.
My self-esteem, public speaking skills, social life, confidence, in fact, everything has been smashed with a sledgehammer right in my face.
I have turned into an introvert because of this bad sickness but will cover it up with "Money on my mind" shït.

I have tried everything possible guys.
Below are kinds of stuff that I have tried and it is not working.

1. Visiting a dentist.
6 months ago, I took all the money I had to go over to the dentist in search of a solution. Had to wait for hours before getting attended to.
When the doctor came in, she first started with some words of encouragement.

Telling me I might not have bad breath and all, people might be thinking they have it but don't blah blah blah.
(So me that have bad breath I don't know what I am saying right?)
After much talk, she recommended flossing and cleaning.
That exercise where water passing through a tiny hole at high speeds is used to remove plaque from in between your teeth.
I had to shell out a whopping 4k for that plus the extra card of 500.
All the money I saved was gone just like that.
It didn't work!!! Bad breath still held me down.

2. Brushing twice a day. I did this for 1 week straight up without any improvement relative to the hard work put in. So I became less consistent with this. Toothpaste I have tried includes, Oral B, MyMy, Maclean, Close up, name it. Didn't work.

3. Garlic and ginger. Some persons here on Nairaland recommend that ginger and garlic can be used to drive off bad breath. The prescription was to swallow it whole before going to bed at night then brush in the morning to remove the after-effects.
I tried this for one week. Didn't work.

4. Mouthwash: I have wasted more than 4k in buying mouthwash but these things are just 2 hours wonder from the moment of application.
I get fresh breath for the time being but after like 3 to 4 hours, the bad breath keeps on coming back. Still didn't work.

5. Hydrogen peroxide: Someone also recommended I use this to chase bad breath.
It also works for sometime after which bad breath comes back. I even tried to dilute less than normal for maximum effects but the only thing I got was an irritating burn on my tongue. I am so not using this guy again!

6. Walnut: Some said walnut could be my Savior so I had to buy them in large quantity to chew but it didn't have long-term effects.
So I ditched it. I don't have money to waste as I am still a student.

7. Chewing a combination of bitter leaf, scent leaf, and guava leaves: Out of intuition, I decided to try this combination. My common sense inferred that since it was bitter, it should probably have some effects on the bacteria in my mouth. But alas! Bad breath wasn't even impressed one bit. I even had to stuff them in my pocket and chew on them while going to class. This was a big flop.
Didn't work at all.

8. Agnes Nwamma Herbal powder: I don't know what to say about this one, because it was even better that I just didn't brush for that day. Very useless in fighting off bad breath.

The funny thing that leaves my jaw-dropping is that my dad doesn't even brush, he uses a chewing stick but still has a very fresh breath than I that used mouthwash, baking powder, toothpaste and still chew the chewing stick to top that.

9. Chewing gum like Clorets, Methos: I have to be frank about these gums, they kind of aggravates the bad breath. They are simply applying salt to injury so I just stopped using them altogether.

Pls Nairalanders, help me out here. There have been lots of people who found a solution to their problem on here, so I doubt mine will be different.
Pls, I need something else to try that will not dig a hole in my pocket as I am still trying to stand on my feet.
I need a permanent solution not 3 hours wonder.

Lala pls push to the front page so I can get a large set of solutions to fight this off.

I don't want to resume school like this.
I am tired, I am weak, disheveled, exhausted, dejected, depressed, anguished, melancholic, in fact, I have tayad like this.

My confidence and esteem have been crushed by bad breath. Shyness, inability to have streamlined chat with people, playing deaf and dumb, using hand signals whilst communicating, smiling like a peacock when my opinion is required, staying away from girls, snubbing people, rejecting positions that have me talk to a crowd has taken over!!

Pls, abeg, mbok, biko, I need a solution.
A permanent one at that.



I feel for you and many others suffering from this but may not know or pretend not to have bad breath....I may not be a doctor but i suggest you try my advice tonight and thanks me later.

all the above you have listed n used are ok but the main thing is bitterkola! after eating your night meal, chew bitterkola as the last thing before going to bed and you will never see the bad breadth in the morning....trust me on these.

since your case is severe, chew in again in the morning before breakfast. do this two routines daily for a week and come testify here.

for all those too experiencing small bad breadth wen they wake up after night sleep, chew bitterkola as last thing before going to bed and first thing in the morning before you brush n seem the bad breadth go away!

I have already combed Youtube inside out before I came to Nairaland.
The only video that made small sense was that of a doc who was asking for close to $1k+ for the treatment.
He is in the US still that means flight + visa cash is in needed.

Nah. I will pass.

Thanks sir, I appreciate.

Have you watched videos on YouTube relating to all these search terms? If not I will suggest you try them out.

Alright OP, your issue is that your body/blood is very toxic. The "mouth odour" might not even be coming from your mouth per say, but from inside you body. You need to do a detox program. There is one by GNLD. You buy a few suppliments. Beta Guard (primary suppliments) stage six, Vitamin B Complex, Fibre Tablet, and one other suppliment I dont recall just now. It's a one month programe. Just look for GNLD suppliers and tell them about "Detox Program" they will give you the complete suppliments to buy.

Garlic can actually worsen ur breath..who in the whole wide world told u to take garlic


SELF-TREATMENT
Brushing teeth and tongue after eating, flossing at least once a day and replacing toothbrushes regularly may improve bad breath. Avoiding foods known to cause bad breath, such as onions and garlic, may also help.(Google is ur friend)
Garlic is the highest astringent (detoxifier) known to man.

There are many organism in the mouth and guys that causes this thing. Some organism in the mouth are similar to those you find in the hope of your foot after a day of wearing socks.
My advice that has a high percentage of working is for you to be taking citrys fruits like oranges and lime regularly. Components of citrus fights many of this organism

in as much as garlic is a powerful natural antibiotic, it is not advisable for someone who already has mouth odour as garlic aggravates mouth odour. Do you know that the smell of garlic can last in your mouth for good 2 days if not more. Ginger is a better alternative as ginger is also antimicrobial in nature. Do you know that ginger gives really good breath few minutes after chewing it raw. Go for ginger!!

So I ditched it. I don't have money to waste as I am still a student.

7. Chewing a combination of bitter leaf, scent leaf, and guava leaves: Out of intuition, I decided to try this combination. My common sense inferred that since it was bitter, it should probably have some effects on the bacteria in my mouth. But alas! Bad breath wasn't even impressed one bit. I even had to stuff them in my pocket and chew on them while going to class. This was a big flop.
Didn't work at all.

8. Agnes Nwamma Herbal powder: I don't know what to say about this one, because it was even better that I just didn't brush for that day. Very useless in fighting off bad breath.

The funny thing that leaves my jaw-dropping is that my dad doesn't even brush, he uses a chewing stick but still has a very fresh breath than I that used mouthwash, baking powder, toothpaste and still chew the chewing stick to top that.

9. Chewing gum like Clorets, Methos: I have to be frank about these gums, they kind of aggravates the bad breath. They are simply applying salt to injury so I just stopped using them altogether.

Pls Nairalanders, help me out here. There have been lots of people who found a solution to their problem on here, so I doubt mine will be different.
Pls, I need something else to try that will not dig a hole in my pocket as I am still trying to stand on my feet.
I need a permanent solution not 3 hours wonder.

Lala pls push to the front page so I can get a large set of solutions to fight this off.

I don't want to resume school like this.
I am tired, I am weak, disheveled, exhausted, dejected, depressed, anguished, melancholic, in fact, I have tayad like this.

My confidence and esteem have been crushed by bad breath. Shyness, inability to have streamlined chat with people, playing deaf and dumb, using hand signals whilst communicating, smiling like a peacock when my opinion is required, staying away from girls, snubbing people, rejecting positions that have me talk to a crowd has taken over!!

Pls, abeg, mbok, biko, I need a solution.
A permanent one at that.

This problem might have originated from your gut system. I see a lot of comments already but I don’t know if someone has been able to help. If not let me know by quoting me

At least, you still got your sense of humour. Pele darling.

lol I tell you. Very commendable despite his ordeal.

@OP: Ndo! Like sisioge mentioned; your sense of humour is still intact. Good for you.

It's not all bad breath that's teeth related. You may want to examine your guts. How's your gut health?

Identifying the cause of the bad breath is the first step to finding a lasting solution. Otherwise, you'll find that you're just treating the symptoms rather than the cause.

There may be some harmful bacterias that are stemming up from your guts and intestinal walls.

You should take more probiotics, drink more water, avoid late-night meals as much as possible, eat fruits and vegetables. Even if your gut is the cause or not, doing this will help your overall health.

For your overall dental health, when you brush don't rinse your mouth. (Not sure if you're already doing this) Brush morning and night (or even most importantly after each meal) but please don't rinse your mouth with water, as you need the fluoride to be active for a while. You can use a mouth wash for rinsing, as that also has active ingredients that help your overall dental health. It may feel uncomfortable initially, but after a while, you'll get used to it. Also, make sure you brush your tongue very well.
And hey, consistency and persistence are key. Stop going from one product to the other. That may be causing more harm than good.

I recommend Sensodyne/Sensodyne pronamel. you can buy the paste and the mouth wash. It is highly recommended by dentists. Disclaimer though: Ain't here to market any brand.

But again, you need to identify the cause of the bad breath. We are only taking a wild guess here. If you go by the several advice on this thread, and you still do not figure out the cause, you'll only be treating the symptoms and going in cycles.

However, with what you've written, I am most likely sure this has nothing to do with your teeth, but rather your digestive tracts likely needs some cleansing. So again adjust your meal, mealtime, and do more fruits and vegetables.

Bonne Chance!

Its unfortunate that you have this. I will advice you as follows.
1. You seem to be impatient with remedies. You only try it for a week and you give u. To loose bad breadth, you have to be consistent for very long periods.
2. Your dental visit was a very good step but you complained about the cost. That is not encouraging. You need to be ready to spend more if you want this problem solved. Visit the dentist regularly for scalping and polishing. twice a year is ideal.
3. Buy Longreich tooth paste and brush regularly . Concentrate on your tongue and upper palate. It may be discomforting at first, but you will get used to it. Use HARD tooth brush.
4. Use dental floss regularly. Always have at least 1 in your pocket and try to clean as much as possible anywhere anytime. it may be unhygienic but u need it right now.
5. Try and brush your mouth before you sleep every night.
6. Eat healthy with a lot of fruits and fiber and drink lots of water.

I wish you the best.

To fight bad breath
Use grinded charcoal mixed with salt.
Keep them in your mouth for 30 minutes and pour it out. Then use another one to brush ur teeth and tongue very well. Make sure u remove all the whitish mucus in your tongue.
Which u good luck

It is clear you have sought various remedies pertaining the mouth area.

I’m surprised that it has not yet been mentioned in this thread apart from what you said about the American doctor and another person said about YouTube - but you need a comprehensive medical check up.

Let’s rule out issues like liver/kidney issues, blood disorders, tonsillitis, acid reflux, and any other possible medical condition that may be the cause.

The sooner the better.
