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.

@Op make sure you change your toothbrush regularly and floss after every meal. At times food particles in the mouth leads to bad breath.
See a doctor to rule out/treat gut bacteria.

see only the garlic is enough for you.put 1or 2pices of garlic in your mouth all the time.chew it small small and when going to bed sleep with it also.small small it will clair.not so fast as you think.leave the ginger out.only garlic..

I can relate. I had bad breadth from young till after my university days. I only learnt how to brush my mouth differently and I'm free. I wish i can find a way to explain it to you, I'd prefer to talk rather than type, cox I may be able to explain it better that way

I had bad breath at a time too. My own was caused by eating heavily in the night and then drinking cold water on top. This caused indigestion and food decay in my tommy, causing awful smell to come out from my digestive tracts out of my mouth.

It stopped after I reduced my food intake at night and also cutting out drinking cold water completely from my meals.

I hope this helps.

RedScorpion:
I can even perceive the odour from your mouth here......... Jeez

The whole of Nairaland must be stinking by now

You really need help...... Mouth doctors please come and handle this situation.

Maybe you have body odour

while you brush and eat fruits and vegetables, look for ultra clean premier detox.
Thank me later.
Your problem is from your digestive track.
Just take it
You can find it in Jumia online shop

BadBreathBoy:
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.

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.

Dat na afonja sickness. Too much pepper no good

Fizzy drinks are one of the major sources of bad breath in the world today unknowingly to many people.

Avoid fizzy drinks before interacting with people.

If you have to drink fizzy drinks before interacting with people, then, brush your mouth thoroughly after drinking. That'll only mitigate the effect because the carbonic acid you have consumed stay in your system for some time. You might need to brush your mouth repeatedly to have fresh breath after drinking fizzy drinks.

The carbonic acid in the fizzy drinks aid the exponential growth of bacteria in the mouth. That's responsible for bad breath.

mastertek:
While some of us will not brush teeth for a week, and nothing like bad breath.

Don't kid yourself,if you don't brush for a day your mouth begins to smell..

Try to determine the cause and origin of the odor.
Wether metabolic or legions on your throat or upper stomach. If it happens to be the former then it's condition
can't be cured but managed. You can try home remedy:
Crush seven to ten cloves of fresh and highly pungent garlic in your mouth every night you are going to bed. Swallow it's juice and everything slowly. Note don't just swallow it crush it in your mouth using molars. You try it for as long as you begin to see improvement. When brushing your teeth don't forget to throughly clean your lower tongue. Finally remember it's condition can't be cured but managed.

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.

UyaiIncomparabl:
Those things you spit are called "tonsil stones". They are a major cause of bad breath.

Someone suggested it may be the remains of regurrigated food, which i confirmed.
But bad breath? I never had any sign of that, it has even been a long while now i experienced it, cause i eat less these days, drink more of water and consume a lot of sugar/glucose. Less of fat or carbohydtrate.

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

Just use this

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 will advice you know the underlying cause of it. Ulcer can sometimes cause bad breath. Check if you have ulcer and treat it.
Since you know that the mouth wash lasts for only 2 hours, I'll advice that you use the mouth wash every 2 hours. And pray that God should take bad breath away while you do all these other things.

Bad breath problem?

The following solutions can help:
 Place a spoon full of coconut oil in your mouth for three minutes before spitting it out, but please don’t swallow it.
 Use body wash after shower to wash

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.

@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?

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.

Exactly my preliminary diagnosis..
This has all the hallmarks of Psychogenic Halitosis..

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.

I've been there before

Like I said,it's definitely from your gut.Get bitter kola, chew a bit before going to bed. if you have had a stomach ulcer in the past be careful, bitter kola might irritate your stomach and please dont get addicted to it just because it works, too much can be bad for your health. If you feel any discomfort, try using it with a suspension like gestid. Also make sure you deworm if you haven't been doing that.get enough exercise.your walking around campus isnt what I'm implying.and don't forget. Just get your body waste out as soon possible, I mean your excrement, nasal discharge if any, ear wax, sweat, urine etc. In a week, you'd feel brand new.

Go on a 7day water fast. Thank me later
