Please you need to see an ENT specialist.
They are in the best position to manage Halitosis and not dentists
Halitosis can result from conditions in the nose, paranasal sinuses, nasopharynx, oropharynx, oral cavity and teeth and throat.
An Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist can fully examine and investigate all these possible areas to find the cause while a dentist looks only at the teeth and oral cavity.

Sorry! About 90% of mouth odours do not come from the mouth. They come from the stomach and point to an underlying illness like Diabetes, Chronic Kidney disease, GERD, etc. With that said, you may want to visit a dentist first to check for holes in the teeth or tooth decays. Later you can go and see a doctor who would run tests to see if you have underlying illnesses like Diabetes, CKD, GERD etc. Most dentists may not bother to tell you that the the odour is not from your mouth. That's why you need to see a doctor, a Physician after going to the dentist.

PS: Don't waste your money on mouth wash and mouth odour powders that people sell online, that promise quick relief. They can only mask the odour for a few minutes, and you'll waste a lot of money.


Good luck.


Exactly!
Also, drink water more regularly. Carry some very good toothpaste with you all day and put some in your mouth every other hour.

Brushing teeth and tongue after eating, replacing toothbrushes regularly, Avoiding foods known to cause bad breath. Visit ur dentist regularly, Buy better chewing gum

Chewing gum worsen the case.

He should buy mouthwash and rinse his mouth after brushing.

Once you allow it affect your selfworth, esteem, depression go set in, it's not a big deal just have the mindset.

1. If you are going through a hard time, very poor dieting...100 ewa and 50naira bread, 1 kpomo and 1 pure water kind of breakfast...no lunch or fruits...you hustle for day at construction site, or drive your Uber car all day... then endure till the night to eat a 200naira fufu, 50naira kpomo and 1 pure water...then bad breath go visit you...guess what it's no big deal...it can be taken care of easily.

2. If you stay a greater part of the day not talking or hardly talking to ventilate the mouth, quiet, zero physical activity...maybe depressed and lonely...bad breath will still visit you...it's no big deal.

3. People like Jagaban don't give a hoot about it even as rich as they are. Bad breath is not cancer or death sentence.

4.Your are having bad breath cos, your dieting is very poor...kpomo no be meat, na leather e be...eat better catfish pepper soup with moimoi for breakfast...another protein meal at noon like chicken pepper soup and agidi/iko...at night eat enough banana, apples and strawberries...you see say na almost 50k per day budget go fit sustain that lifestyle...find a habit that will keep your mouth busy...singing, a loquacious gossipy girlfriend, engage in routine chores or fitness workouts that will help your lungs expel stale air faster, exhale and inhale often...join a gym.

5. The excess management food -ewa, fried eja Kika, fufu, eba, ogiri, shawa, etc you have been eating all this while...even the odour don soak enter your bloodstream...e go need better blood transfusion to commit these odour from your body...if you eat garlic, the odour de enter your blood...when u breath, it shows in your breath too...eat Mega Chicken standard of food for a year, even if you de use only chewing stick every morning, badbreath no get business with u.

6. If you no fit afford healthy dieting...

Look for hydrogen peroxide...take one spoonful, mix with 8spoonfuls of water to dilute...gargle and rinse your mouth with it for like 2minutes...throw peppermint chewing gum inside your mouth...rush enter...your interviewer won't notice your bad breath, the babe you are toasting won't notice it too...but after 3minutes the bacteria go begin build up inside your mouth again and the odour go begin come out....calcium carbonate solution mixed with raw lemon juice can also be used to rinse your mouth intermittently.

Cinnamon powder solution can also be used.

Maintain a habit of brushing both morning and night...pick your teeth, use thread to scrape and dewhite your tongue.

Some people actually smoke to mask the bad breath too. Some take to tobacco or garlic chewing.

Some buy mouth perpermint perfume...before you go enter the meeting...spray a copious amounts.

Some people are more confident..." I must let you know my breath is bad, am working on it, kindly keep distance so that we can talk with your nose being hurt"... that way you have settled every possible tension

The high level of acidity of the body gives rise to mouth odour, plus other medical conditions.

To reduce the acidity, try always to at least reduce the intake food that makes your blood acidic like protein which is amino acid, fat which is fatty acid etc

Please concentrate on eating more of fruits and vegetables. This tend to reduce the acidity of the body.

Detoxify your body once a week by chosing a day you will eat only fruits and vegetables.

Make sure you know the type of villi in your tongue. Villi is the outer towel like structure covering the tongue. Some are taller than others. If yours is tall. Your tongue after night sleep will be coated white.

Try brushing in front of a mirror, it gives you access on how to brush off the white smelling bacteria and food particles that coated the tongue thoroughly. Brushing without a mirror is waste of time

Finally try not have dry mouth. Always drink water.

Check if you have some medical conditions


Etc

Aside from the basic mouth hygiene you have been given in page one, twice or thrice a week, try to cough out the calcified amonia lodged at back of your throat...

If you cough with enough pressure like a bone is stuck in your throat, you'll dislodge them... Cover your mouth with your two hands and maybe you'll catch some in your hands... You yourself may die if you smell them.

Do this regularly, and you'll see significant improvement.

Also make sure to brush at least twice a day, wash your tongue very well and the roof of your mouth...

Buy hydrogen peroxide, mix small drops in water and use it to gaggle then brush all your teeth and mouth, all the little gaps... Use any small table knife to scrap off any calcified layer around your teeth and gum... Then do the pressure coughing to dislodge the calcified amonia at the back of your throat.

Hope this helps.

You are the only person that offers a real solution to his problem.

@op, you may be suffering from mere adenoids enlargement all these years. Book an appointment with an ENT (Ear, Nose, Throat) Doctor and your problem will be appropriately diagnosed with solution options.

If brushing twice daily or toothpaste is the solution, you wouldn't need to cry out for help after 12years.

1. Visit a dentist.

2. Scrape your tongue with the edge of a spoon. Then wash that spoon and it should be used solely for scraping your tongue.

Bros I'm the same shoe with you. But i stopped my own when i visited a dentist and he told me that one of my tooth has hole and after eating the pieces of what you will enter into that hole and that causes mouth odour so he remove that took and that's final

Hmmm

I have this same problem oo.. But my case was my teeth broke, so i put a crown (fake tooth molded to cover the broken one)..

Everything was fine for years, till few months ago.. I believe fake tooth or the broken one has developed a hole.. Cos the wahala eh..

Anyways ive always thought what if i remove the whole teeth won't it be better? Its seems thats what you did right?.. Abeg i need you're reply please.. Because this wahala of teeth, can be very expensive.. I done dash dentists money tire.. So my question agains please, you removed the teeth with the hole right? And everything is ok?.

For the op
Chew ginger.. And use it ti scrub your teeth it works fine.

Buy dental floss.. The bacteria like to hide.. In tight corners.. So by now thev hidden in between your teeth.

Get tongue scraper.. Google it

Brush the back if your tongue..

Brush with salt/baking soda or use together as tooth paste..

Gargle salt water regularly.

Buy hydrogen peroxide for mouthwash..

Buy probiotic (Google it) the odour may be from your stomach..

Do oil pulling (gargling oil in your mouth As mouth wash)

You'd definitely see improvement with the above

You need to know the source of your halitosis, sometime is caused by Gingival hyperplasia, when gum covers your teeth and encourages trapping of bacteria and other food.If you want to treat it permanently, you may require Mandibular Osteotomy. But if you want to manage it, get a strong brush, Crest toothpaste, listerine mouthwash and peace cool, make sure you brush morning and before going to bed

My nephew's front tooth covers his gum but he doesn't have mouth odour. Is there any way to bring back the gum to its normal size and would this require surgery?

A lot of recommendations. Note that you need a mouth wash. The dentist would use instruments to clean the hard to reach corners of your mouth that you can't do alone.

Sorry dear.
To start with, if you're in Lagos, kindly look for all these Yoruba women selling these small small alcoholic drinks. For example: people that sells, Action bitter, Alomo bitter, Chelsea drink, Seaman drink. Tell them that you want to buy "SUCCESS".

SUCCESS is an herbal drink with zero alcohol. For easy identification, it has red cap.

Why do I introduced you to SUCCESS herbal drink? Is because if there is any underlying medical issue SUCCESS can help you to cover it up by flushing you entire stomach. Even you will testify because it will clear any unnecessary dirty in you system.

One sold at N250. Please, use only one once, don't divide it. And shake it very well before use.

Also, I will advise you to use it very early in the morning even before you brush. Use it when you at a place where rest room is not too far to you. You can use SUCCESS 3 times a week. Eg: Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

And also, continue brushing your mouth and tongue regularly.

Good luck!
