Go and look for Flagyl from the pharmacy stores and start drinking.
The bad breath stems from your stomach and avoid milk products as well. Goodluck

Herbephe1:

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.

BadBreathBoy:
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.

I think aloe vera does detoxify. You can just get some aloe vera leaves and cut them inside some litres of water. Let it soak for like 24hours and extract the water inside a bottle. Drink every morning. It should help in detoxifying your guts. But if you can afford the already made aloe vera extract at the pharmacy, that's fine too.

BadBreathBoy:
Pls, abeg, mbok, biko, I need a solution.

Don't listen to any miracle solution here. The most important thing to do is to figure out the cause of your chronic bad breath.

Do you drool at night while sleeping or wake up with your mouth filled with saliva? Dry mouth is also the leading cause of bad breath because it hastens bacteria growth. The truth is that it can't be completely cured but effective management is very possible.

Brushing your tongue and the roof of your mouth combined with a mouthwash will give you 12 hours of fresh breath unless you have an infected mouth or tonsils.

did you discover this bad breath yourself? if yes then Satan may be lying to you, it's people outside your body will know that you have bad breath

Malawian:
Your bad breath, does it kpoo ekpoo like carbide?

Wahala get two tires.

Your tongue is the main culprit when it comes to bad breath, when brushing always pay more attention, have you tried hexidin mouthwash ?

Sorry about your predicament, I usually don't make comments here but your case is quiet touching.... My grandma had same issues but she is ok now, I mean no more bad breath... You can chat me up if wish 08154423759.. Best wishes!!

It’s about 5k but it’s very good it’s called Healthpoint Chlorhexidine Antibacterial Mouthwash. You also need a tongue cleaner everything will be 6k for everything. You definitely do not need a ENT they don’t deal with bad breath they will refer you to a dentist. You should save and go check for cavities. Or take antibiotics but that only stops the smell for a couple of weeks... send me a dm I will send you the 6k to buy the mouthwash and tongue cleaner

BadBreathBoy:
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?

This flossing sef

What about those that have tightly packed teeth? Can floss go in between such teeth? Won't it cut and get stuck there if atall it passes through.

whela:
To reduce or prevent bad breath:
Brush your teeth after you eat. Keep a toothbrush at work to use after eating. ...
Floss at least once a day. ...
Brush your tongue. ...
Clean dentures or dental appliances. ...
Avoid dry mouth. ...
Adjust your diet. ...
Regularly get a new toothbrush. ...
Schedule regular dental checkups.

BadBreathBoy:
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.

See mature reply .... may you find healing !!

Go get charcoal; pulverize it and use it to brush your teeth and tongue very well, morning and night after dinner before going to bed. And make sure you always chew the charcoal intermittently and drink water.

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

For the benefit of all,I suggest it would be better if you can post your solution here,alot of people have this problem but are shy to seek to for solution.
pls kindly post it here

Dear OP,

Sorry about your condition. It can be frustrating, but don't beat yourself up.

Does your symptoms perhaps includes dry mouth especially when you wake up in the morning?
How often do you urinate? Do you have trouble chewing, speaking or swallowing?

What to do in the meantime?

Drink a lot of water. Few sips of water every here and then.

Brush after meals with antibacterial mouthwash. And keep drinking water..

I believe that the underlying issue is dry mouth (xerostomia) which could be a symptoms of Hypernatremia. In basic term, it means that you have a high concentration of sodium in your blood.

But you have to visit Otolaryngologist (ENT) for investigation.

Decayed cavities should be investigated also.


For prescription, I'll leave it for your specialist.
He/she will know what to do.

Kind regards,
Daniel

solarview:
Endeavor to brush your teeth immediately after every meal.

Acids in food soften the enamel after eating. So it's advisable to wait at least one hour after eating before brushing.

Sometimes bad breath comes from the stomach or tongue bcox tongue store more bacterial you need to get tongue scrapper from the super market it helps a lot that's wer most bad breath comes from if not from the stomach call me if you need any assistance in regard of the medicine for bad breath that comes out from the stomach 08126620816

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

No,some people are like that.My younger brother is like that if he does not brush for a full day,zero mouth odour.

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

Depending if the pharmacy sells provisions, it's found in stores. 300, 400 and 600 depending and the one you are buying.

I suffered bad breath in the past, I got 400 naira own and today bad breath is a thing of the past to me

Herbephe1:
Who's this stupid dude? is this a joking matter? don't you think if this persists it might lead op to depression?
pls let be reasonable if at all once!

My brother, I missed those days when nairaland was a platform of solution to intense problem, nowadays kids joining nairaland making it uncomfortable for people of intellectual to visit, just kids trying to take advantage to flaunt their mumuness.
@op.

I'm sorry for your experience, hopefully you get a solution to this

slawormiir:
Damnnn niggarrrr...
Ogbeni forget this long story and your long write up and concentrate on brushing your teeth immediately you are about to go to bed after dinner and also brush your teeth immediately after breakfast

Just do this for a long time and there will be changes...

I don't know why my real niggarrrrs complain about problem that have easy solution....don't just do it for a short period...do it for a long time and you will see a very positive result

Dm@n niggar, I Don send you mail tire, drop me your contact or email... Make we align aside bro

just speechless

paul100:

Am a Dentist and I can tell you for free,if you don't brush in a day your mouth starts to smell,not as much as for everyone but it will still smell..

I understand how you feel my brother. You problem may not be in your mouth but in your nasal or alimentary canal whose effect only manifests through your mouth.

If you are in Lagos I can connect you to a dentist who will surely be of help. Though he works with a public hospital, trust me, he is one with a difference, he is really passionate and empathic about his patients, just a session with him will convince you. He has a good relationship with some consultants, in case your case might need a higher level evaluation.

Let me allay your fear by saying this is not solely about money, but it does not imply that you won't buy your medications. But the important thing is finding a lasting solution to this problem so you can return to your normal self.

Brush daily, use mouth wash.....above all go for check up first

alien1:
Garlic aggravates mouth odor, it's not a good idea. We are talking of suppressing halitosis not really sure the strong smell of garlic would help matters

You are funny.

The allicin in the garlic that causes garlic breathe is actually the agent that cures the mouth odour.

If you are referring to garlic breath as odour aggravation then you got it all wrong.

BadBreathBoy:
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.

Don't swallow cos swallowing does nothing and Infact if you observe very well you will see that you usually egest out the garlic cloves just the way it was swallowed but when you eat it raw, you release the Allicin which is the main agent in garlic responsible for its curative properties.

Your own bad breathe is not caused by food particles nor bacteria from within your mouth. It comes from your stomach. You need to take care of you stomach. May be take enema. Sorry bro.
