Badbreathboy, how is your situation so far? Any improvement yet?

Let's say 10 out of a 100% improvement.

But I will go visit a dentist and an ENT doctor as recommended by well meaning Nairalanders.

Thanks for asking.

awulio:
Hey OP This is Sandra from America I suffered from bad breath too and I’m a female. Go to a dentist and check for cavities, cavities cause bad breath. My dentist found over 10 cavities in my mouth...Then get a tongue cleaner to scrub your tongue. The odor is actually stored on your tongue and not your teeth. That’s why brushing your teeth won’t really fix things. Then get antibacterial mouthwash. Not all mouthwash is good, since you have bad breath you need to buy an antibacterial mouthwash. It’s a mouthwash with liquid antibiotics in it. I don’t know if they sell it in nigeria

Thanks ma for you inputs.
But going to a dentist is way off my budget. The last one I went to fleeced me of my hard earned 4,500 naira with nothing to show for it.

So visiting one is out of the equation for now till I can save up some money and go to another better hospital.
Some people recommended an ENT specialist so I believe that is the person I will need to have an appointment with.
Like I said, it is way off my budget now.

Which antibacterial mouthwash do you recommend??
Is it sold for less than 2,000 naira? Because that is all I have with me. I can't afford the expensive ones, they might not even be that effective.
Just need a cheap one that I can try.

Thanks for wise inputs ma. I appreciate.

Hope you are faring fine over there?

Bennethanderson:
Bad breath is not just from the mouth, stubborn ones like yours comes from the stomach....you need to detox your stomach. I'm not promoting any business but I'm talking from experience....if you hv the money, Go get yourself FOHOW meigue paste/Rose oligose, Rosa solid drink, sanquine Oral , blood cleanser and their toothpaste and you will be free from bad breath.

WhatsApp me if you wish : 08133537555 .

Can I get all of these for less than 2k? Because that is all that I have currently in my account.

sodiamond:

My personal person suffered this for years, only God knows when it started because I didn't ask him.
Believe me, it has gone for good.
Pls you have to detoxify your system, for now stop taking sugars and minerals, you only need to continue to brush morning and night that's all. Detoxification is a must, also you must increase your water consumption to enable you empty your guts always. You can continue to take your ginger, lemon and garlic during and after detoxification.

I appreciate your response ma.
Is there a drug to quicken this detoxification you are talking about?
I am open to suggestions that won't cut a hole in my pocket.
Thanka for everything.

Send my regards to your personal person.

focus7:


Go get pepsodent toothpaste, stop using close Up and come back to thank me

Okay will try it.
But how much does it go for?
Can it be found in a pharmacy?

SpicyMimi:

What about your upper mouth?

Few strokes gently up there too. But not hard because it bleeds easily.

valentineuwakwe:




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!


am VAL202

Thanks sir. I will go source for bitter kola and buy it in large quantity.
Will see how effective it is and report back.

Thanks.

15ssDRIVE:


Try talking like,basket mouth, if you are too quiet,any time you open mouth... gasss go dey and fit smell ..

What? no! I don't want to inconvenience others who might find it iritating.
I usually talk to my self in enclosure or when I don't see anyone coming so as to get some oxygen in there.

But talking anyhow in the midst of people when I know very much I have bad breath, will be so insensitive of me.
I won't even be confident enough to that no matter how I try.
Thank for your wise inputs sir.

Deering1008:
Start drinking origin bitters

I thought origin bitters is alcohol??

Won't this be counter productive to my course??

Thanks anyway, will try it out and report back.

Donpeak:


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

I have taken notes of lots options provided by lots of folks here. There have lots of comments with lots of solutions provided. I will try the ones I can afford and leave the rest till I am solvent enough to get the required materials.

Thanks sir, I am open to whatever idea you have and will accept it wholeheartedly. Provided it doesn't sink a hole in my small budget for the month.

Regards.

Winneygirl:


The microbes that are responsible for mouth odour resides on the tongue, especially in the back.
Buy Eutymol toothpaste. It is between N1,500-N2,000. It is quite hot/harsh/minty so you only need a little at a time.
Brush your teeth and pay attention to your tongue. Twice a day is best. You will start seeing improvement in no time.

Okay will save up and get it.
It is sold in a pharmacy right?

GambaOsaka:


I have a solution.
Its called AJASE POKIPOKI TI ALHAJI AGBA.
You can get it from these guys that hawk local herbs in some dirty old kabukabu with loud speaker on them.
Come back and share your testimony.

Enjoy

All these sounds foreign to me.
What is kabukabu??

sonofthunder:




Please describe how you brush your mouth.

First start off with the incisors, making few strokes up and down. Ensuring to get the in-between of the teeth.
Then over to the canines and repeat the same up and down strokes both inside and outside.
Same goes for the premolars and molars.
I will then proceed to scrap off the tongue, coming from the back of the tongue down to the tip. I do this a few times gently to avoid iritating the tongue.(Mine is quite sensitive, it bleeds easily)
Finally, washes off with clean water.


Was I doing it all wrong, doc?

But i still got say that no matter

Father4all:
Talk to me on WhatsApp brother. I have permanent solutions for you. 0/8/03/2/2/4/5/0/1/7

It would be more interesting and amazing if you would drop your solution here, so as to ensure that peeps go are conversant with it add a thing or two to the solution you proferred.

Don't you agree with me?

OKOATA:
Go through some of my thread on meditation, how to use the power of your mind to heal yourself of any disease, sickness, imagine yourself engulfed in the light of the sun, continually tell yourself each day that your healed, imagine yourself turning pure white like an angel, visualize billions of white blood cells crushing this bad breath and imagine it getting destroyed. I know my comment might sound stupid.. Good luck.

Now this is some cool psychological soon to be tested remedy.
Will check it out.
Thanks.

clefstone:
@OP, you may be suffering from what we refer to as psychogenic halitosis. I have had clients who suffer from this and I know how it ruins their self confidence and turn them to social recluse.
Has any of your close relative told you that you have bad breathe?

I carried out basic test to ascertain if it was or wasn't bad breath, taking cognizance that it could all be in my head so I had to be super sure about it.
Every diy test I took came out positive.

DarkJeddi:
Don't take any garlic or onions as some are proposing,these are known sources of bad breath..
Being a Dentist,I might be able to offer some inputs on the problem..
How did you come to know that you have bad breath?

I carried out a few necessary test as outlined in an article I read online.
1. Licking your wrist and smelling it.
2. Forming a cup with you hands and exhaling to it.
3. Feeling other people's reaction when you talk.
4. Coatings on the tongue and so on.
Evey test I tried came out positive.

Banabaz:
Well this might shock you.

If you masturbate pls stop.

I had bad breath for years,my teeth was decaying,my gums were receding.
It always feels like there's some dead decaying substance coming from within me.
This dented my esteem,made me reserved until I came across a thread on nairaland about quitting masturbation.
From the comments I realised my problems were linked to mastubation addiction.

I started working on quitting masturbation last year and I have gone a year+ now without masturbation.
Guess what? my bad breath has stopped. I can even go days without brush and still have fresh breath.
My gums have healed too.

Pls if you masturbate stop to allow your system heal.

Masturbation alters body mechanism,deteriorates the system.

Badbreathboy

No I don't. And how does masturbation relate to bad breath??
Going by your logic, it will be safe to conclude that sex also causes bad breath.

So how on earth is that possible??

Praktikals:

This may look too simple, but if you do it, you will come back here to share a testimony. sebi you know normal cooking charcoal. chew a small piece. keep it in your for about 5 minutes, spit it out, then brush your mouth as you would normally do.

Okay. Will try this even though I do use charcoal to clean my teeth at times.

Will report back if I see any significant change.

mariahAngel:
@Badbreathboy, first thing to do when you wake up in the morning is to drink at least 3glasses of warm water before even brushing your teeth.
You can have your breakfast 1hr after that, so when you have breakfast depends on how early you drink the water.

Eat at least a fruit after every meal, especially apples, oranges and pineapple.

Mention me for the rest...

Go ahead ma, I am all ears.

Burgerlomo:


Go to YouTube may be you can find a solution there, good luck.

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.

Henry22:


Guy and buy sensodyne toothpaste, it's around 1k+ then thank me later...

Yeah I should probably add this as the 11th in the list of stuffs that didn't work.

The pharmacist shelled me of my hard earned 1.2k.

Thanks for your helpful contribution.

fanzine:


I don't usually do this,WhatsApp me on 08068038946. And you will not regret it. No matter the how bad your breath is.i have the remedy.

My life is on a budget this month. If it is less than 1.5k I will come for it. Provided it has a clean remedial record and testimonials to back it up.

Toks2008:


Start eating garlic last thing at night(not swallow)... EAT IT RAW.

Just peel like 3 cloves and eat last thing at night for 2 weeks.

Come and thank me latter

Hmmm. But I already did the swallowing aspect but didn't work.
I am really concerned about the after effects in the morning due it.
Won't this be counter remedial?

Thanks for your inputs sir.
Will definitely try it again, will also keep a record of the days I did it for accountability purposes.

Elijahrona:


Hello OP

I noticed that whenever I talk much, I develop bitter taste in my mouth which can cause bad breathe.

I suggest that you restist talking too much. You should also use mouth wash as often as possible.

I wish you well...

The question should be, Do I even talk?
I am trying to explain to you that I have turned dumb due to this.

Thanks for your helpful inputs sir.

confidential20:
if you're in Lagos, come down to Nigerian Army Reference Hospital Yaba. I work there, I will be of help.

Thanks Sir. But I live in the East.

Thanks anyway for trying to help.
I appreciate.

Jagaban880:

Eat fruits like Banana, pineapple etc

Avoid groundnut,garlic,onions
Cc badbreathboy

Where can I get this toothpaste?

fredpaul:

From all indications, you have tonsils stones. I was once struggling with bad breath too until i found a way to get rid of my tonsils stones. Tonsils stones are food particles that get stuck between your throat. They get decayed there and begin to cause bad breath. You need to see an ENT doctor and not a dentist.

Where can I get an ENT doctor?

mariahAngel:
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?

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.

CastingCrowns:

sorry about what u are going through.. all these steps u have taken should have sorted it out.. backup ur medical solutions with prayers too.

Ma, I have even gone to the mountains to pray, to the desert, inside river, on top tree, like, I am tired ma.

SarutobiEky:
Hmm. This one deep. How long has this bad breath been around?

From Jss3 sir, down to university level.

I am topping my department but everyone hates me because they fell I hoard my knowledge.
I declined their invitation for a tutorial in a subject noone but I understood.

Even rejected private lessons from multiple department girls and boys.
I didn't want to inconvenience them but they just won't understand.

I also lost a crush due to this. Fair skinned girl everyone was after but I wasn't and she noticed and tried to come closer.
But bad breath chased her away.
Couldn't hold a conversation with her and give her one word answers.

Only time I could chat with her was on phone or online where I can't be able to perturb her with bad breath.
Long story short, she got fed up and left.
(I hope you don't see it like I am doing this because of her?)

I have used mouthwash but they all are not long term.
