Many rumors circulate from time to time about the cause of chronic bad breath, or halitosis. Does it emanate from the mouth or actually from somewhere in the gastrointestinal tract? You can almost rule out the theory of bad breath(BB) coming from places other than the mouth. The esophagus is collapsed normally and air can only escape in the form of the occasional burp! If your mouth and teeth are healthy (unhealthy or infected gums and teeth would be an immediate cause of bad breath) you should first check the dorsum, or that area on the back of the tongue. \n\n\nWhere does that discharge come from? Postnasal drip. Although the postnasal drip doesn’t have an odor when it first reaches the tongue, it develops one as it sits there. To combat this source of bad breath, gargle with an effective mouthwash (your dentist could recommend a good one) and then actually clean the tongue thoroughly with a tongue scraper or a toothbrush without toothpaste on it. You may find this procedure uncomfortable due to the fact that it triggers the gag reflex, but in time this subsides. \n\n\n \nAfter ruling out the mouth, the tongue and infected teeth, the next area to investigate is the nose and the nasal passages. If a person is suffering from sinusitis or another bacterial infection, a blockage of the airway or dry nasal mucous it can lead to bad breath. To discern whether the odor is coming from the mouth or the nose will take the efforts of a dentist or a very good friend. If the patient breathes our through their nose and the odor is similar to that exiting the mouth, the nose is most likely the culprit. In this case an ear, nose and throat doctor should be contacted for further investigation of the problem. A child may have a foreign object lodged in the nasal passages and that can result in a very bad odor. \n\n\nA dry mouth which can be caused by medications or stress, can cause bad breath. If this is the cause some chewing gum to get the juices flowing again should remedy the situation. \n\n\nFlossing is a very important habit to develop. It has been shown that people who make a habit of flossing have cleaner, more pleasant smelling mouths. The floss removes the buildup of bacteria from between the teeth. Bacteria lodged in the mouth is a very common source of mouth odor. \n\n\nIs there a way to check yourself to see if you have bad breath? Unfortunately most of the techniques, like the most popular blowing into your own cupped hands, are not effective. The human body becomes so accustomed to its own smell that it doesn't perceive it as being objectionable. Some dentists have a piece of equipment called a halimeter. It measures the amount of sulfur compounds that exist in your breath which translates into bad breath to one degree or another. \n\n\nWithout making a trip to the dentist here are a few simple tricks to try to test your own breath. \n\n1. Run a piece of unflavored white dental floss between your upper and lower back molars. Is the floss red or brown? Smell the floss in about 45 seconds. Does it have an objectionable odor? \n\n2. Next - hold the tip of your tongue with a clean washcloth, while rubbing the back portion of your tongue with another white washcloth. Wait 45 seconds and then smell the portion of the cloth that you used on the back of your tongue (dorsum). Does it smell? \n\n3. Lick your tongue on your clean wrist and wait 45 seconds again. Sniff. This is just a quick test, and really doesn’t get back to the dorsum where the real trouble may be lurking. \n\n\nIn short, there are many products out there to help control chronic bad breath. If you find you cannot solve the problem with the first line of action you will want to visit your physician and talk to him about it. Chronic bad breath could be a symptom of lung infections, bronchial infections, metabolic disorders, carcinomas or biochemical disorders, however, the mouth and the nose are usually where the problem originates

I do  this Hold your breath and drink water. It kinda hurts going down but it gets rid of them. I also like holding my breath for ten seconds then releasing the breath slowly after that breath in through nose and out the mouth slowly.

Bad mouth odor is caused chiefly by the lack of saliva production while we are asleep. Salivary proteins, residual food particles, and mouth flora and their byproducts are not flushed down our throats by the continuaous production of saliva that occurs during waking hours. Brush your teeth soon afte you wake up. also gently brush your tongue too. (muc of the odor can come form secretions on the tongue. (the pharmacy has tongue cleaners). Also brush after every meal. Drink a glass of water before going to bed. That should help. Regular dental checkups and teeth and gum cleaning also helps.\nSome people do all the above and still have bas breath. It is rare but is a real problem for them. They need help from medical specialists that know about the condition and treat that problem.\nIt is a 24 hour a day problem. You do not describe the symptoms of  it.\nDoc. Dan.

You can try Muratic Acid ( dilute 4 parts water with 1 part acid )\nMix in a 5 gal bucket , pour on tire marks then scrub with a stiff bristle broom and hose off . That should do it but do not breath the vapors , I recommend wearing a protective mask ( available at your local hardware store ) .

1.  Food (obvious: onions, garlic, cool ranch doritos...)\n2.  Sulfide compounds, a bacterial break down product.  Best removed via a tongue scraper.\n3.  Sometimes, dehydration.  Drink more water.\n4.  If none of these work, see an ENT (ear nose and throat) doctor.  Often the bad breath does not start in the mouth but in the throat or nasal passages.

I agree that spasms in the diaphragm are to blame but I have found an unbeatable cure (at least for me)...Peanut Butter! As soon as it touches my tongue the hiccoughs are gone!

mix some eucalyptus oil in hot water, pop your head over it and cover with a towel, this will hopefully stop your cold going onto your chest, try and breathe in the fumes for as long as possible. also rub some under your nose as it'll help unblock your nose and rub onto your chest and pillow when you go to bed. i sympathise as I've had 2 colds in 6 weeks.

All the answers are correct.  Floss, brush your tongue, use a good mouth wash like, Listerine, brush at least twice a day or after every meal.  Also certain infections or plaque built up on your teeth can cause bad breath.  See your dentist regularly.  Some people with bad breath is not caused by anything in the mouth.  It could be your digestive system.

The most effective thing for halitosis is to make sure you have good oral hygiene.  Proper brushing and flossing.  You can also try using an oral rinse such as Listerine.  Just be careful not to overuse such mouthwashes as they can be harmful to the tissues of the mouth.  Also make sure you are seeing your dentist every 6 months for regular exams and cleanings.  If bad breath persists, it could be a sign of periodontal disease, so make sure you see your dentist as soon as possible.

boil water then pour lemon juice in it.  Take it of the burner and put a towel over your head and pan and breathe in through your mouth for about fifteen minutes.  This will definitely help.  Then go to bed and rest your vocal cords. Shower the next morning in a steamy hot shower and do the same thing as the night before.

*Thinking a bit* Bad breath (halitosis) is a common problem which often comes from the activity of bacteria in the mouth. Although there is no way of knowing for sure, most adults probably suffer from bad breath occasionally, with perhaps a quarter suffering on a regular basis.\n\nMost cases of bad breath appear to be due to the breakdown of proteins by a variety of micro-organisms. Several of the breakdown products are foul smelling gases.\n\nIn people with healthy teeth and gums, the odour usually comes from the far back region of the tongue, and grows stronger when the patient starts talking.\nBreath odor and body odor can be a signal of unhealthy conditions. There are other reasons for bad breath other than the mouth.\n\n    * Infections in the sinuses or lungs\n    * Diabetes mellitus (acetone smell)\n    * Kidney failure (fishy odor)\n    * Malfunction of the liver\n    * Stomach disorders\n    * Sjogren's syndrome (extreme dryness of mouth & nasal passage)\n    * Disorder of metabolism ; body can't process choline (fishy odor)\n    * Fasting or on diets\n\nDo's\n    * Visit your dentist regularly.\n    * Have your teeth cleaned periodically by a dental professional.\n    * Floss or otherwise clean between your teeth, as recommended by your dentist.

Clean your tongue all the way back gently, but thoroughly.\n    * Drink plenty of liquids.\n    * Chew sugar-free gum for a minute or two at a time, especially if your mouth feels dry. chewing parsley, mint, cloves or fennel seeds may also help.\n    * Clean your mouth after eating or drinking milk products, fish and meat.\n    * Unless your dentist advises otherwise, soak dentures overnight in antiseptic solution.\n    * Get control over the problem. Ask a family member to tell you whenever you have bad breath.\n    * If someone in your family or a close friend has bad breath, find a kind way to let them know. If you can't tell them directly, leave this fact file lying around. They may get the message.\n    * Buy a mouthwash which has been shown to be clinically effective in fighting bad breath. \n    * Use it most effectively right before sleeping.\n    * Eat fresh, fibrous vegetables such as carrots.\n\nDon'ts\n    * Don't let your concern about having bad breath run your life.
