Good day everyone, I also suffered with the same problem of halitosis for 15years but now cured with things I have but neglected because I thought my problem was much worse and more of spiritual rather than ordinary.

Here is my story
I got to know that I have bad breath when I was in jss3, I was speaking with my friends in class and all of a sudden one of them told me shut my mouth because it smells. Everybody started laughing I felt so embarrassed 🙈. That was how my problem started. I lost my confidence and self esteem.

I also noticed that whenever I talk, people kind of scratch their nose or repositioned themselves, so in order to cover up the odor from my mouth, I choose to start chewing gum and sweet because, it has a pleasant smell so it tends to suppress the odor.

Whenever I get my pocket money it’s on sweet and chew gum. I never knew I was worsening the situation because at the end I had holes in my teeth. The hole also worsening the odor because the smell from the hole alone can make one faint.
Along the line I thought it’s the hole that actually makes my mouth smell that if the tooth is extracted all the odor will be gone. I went with my mum to the dentist extracted 2 teeth the smell still continues.

It made me always keep to myself, I don’t have friends just me. Even among my siblings when they are talking I don’t contribute because I wouldn’t want to scatter the gathering with my odour. I only talk when i know they are far from me.

I gained admission 2009 it still continues and gradually got worse. I can’t open my mouth in the bus because they will start asking who pollute the air. I still continue with my chewing gum and sweet method. I surf the internet everyday for possible solutions. I read of Euthymol toothpaste then I bought it for #1500 I Used it, there was no changes I had to stop it.

I read of baking soda to cure mouth odour, I bought and used it, it actually works for teeth whitening and not odour because my course mate do complement how white my teeth was but in my mind I will be like, if only we can swap mouth lol. I also bought listerine mouthwash but the odor was still there.

It got worse to the extent that my breath also smells. How did I know? When I’m seated beside someone and I breathe out with opening my mouth, the person will surely complain on something rotten smelling. I went to the dentist and complained and the dentist told me I don’t have bad breath I was puzzled but he recommended washing of my teeth, I got to the section to wash teeth I was asked why I wanted to wash because my teeth was clean but, they sha washed anyways since I was there already. I was happy that finally I’m free, alas, the same day in the bus, I intentionally yawned the passenger beside me covered nose. That was when I thought my problem wasn’t normal lol, I thought it was my village people that was behind it. Mind you, I brush my teeth with hard brush very well or so I think. I graduated my mouth still smells hmm

I have contacted many people from this platform that claim to have solutions all to no avail, bought different products mouth spray, longrich among others. To cut the long story short I just gained back my confidence about 6 months ago. All Glory to God I can talk to people face without them covering their nose.

What I did was very simple, I simply got two toothbrushes one hard and one medium brush respectively. I also got a mouthwash that was all. Let me explain. I brush with the two toothbrush morning and night, I use the medium brush for my teeth, I brush up and down side and side(if you are used to hard brush you might think you haven’t brush trust me you have) our gum doesn’t want hard stuff that’s the reason for brushing with medium brush. When I’m through brushing I just spill out the saliva, I DONT rinse my mouth with water, I take the hard brush to brush my tongue, I brush my tongue very well (I mean, I scrub well and I make sure the brush get to all corner on the tongue) and brush the part of my teeth that I chew with. After brushing, I also spit out the saliva I DONT rinse with water yet, after which I gargle with mouthwash few mins and spill, then I rinse my mouth with water.

Any good toothpaste will work but I use Colgate any good mouthwash also I use Listerine

*Please Note*
* Repeat the process morning and night don’t skip
* At first your tongue might be sore due to the brush please DONT discontinue
* The odour didn’t start in a day so please don’t expect it to go the same day you start
* Consistency is the key
* Change your brush every 3 months

Trust me you will come back and thank me.

All these years, I always wish someone will just drop a solution here and I will carry it out and boom I will be odour free, but since that didn’t happen and I find my solution, i know there are thousands of people going through the same problem that might needs a solution, hence the need to share.
