alanbp	First of all it is necessary to realise you may be fixated on a problem that isn't there . Ask your friends if it is truly a problem . Sources of halitosis are seen to be ,certain foods ,chronic digestive problems,and decayed teeth and infected gums due to poor oral hygene . I would recommend a dental exam as a start .

REBECCA S	All surfaces of the mouth are prone to plaque, so don't forget to brush your tongue. Also floss, it will shock you when you see what is trapped between your teeth! Small particles of food will start to smell if it goes rotten, (If you put a small piece of meat out in the warm sun, imagine the smell) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

hallj6	There are many things that can contribute to halitosis or "bad breath." Smoking, post-nasal drip, food, etc. The main thing to do is to quit smoking, brush 2-3 times a day, floss daily, use antimicrobial rinses such as Listerine or Scope, and most importantly, a tongue scraper! This can reduce the overall bacterial count in your mouth. If you can get past the gagging that tongue scraping can cause, it will be very helpful! Also, chewing gum with xylitol (Trident has it) in it will help. Good Luck!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

makeitright	Try brushing your tongue way back there. You may have junk caught in your tonsillar crypts. Food trapped in there will cause bacteria and it smells really bad. Also, certain types of food will do it. Sometimes an upset stomach causes it. Sometimes it is a rotten tooth or decaying tooth. Lots of reasons. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Steve-Bob	Halitosis (bad breath) is caused by bacteria on the tongue (which give the tongue a white appearance). Brushing your tongue with your toothbrush can help reduce the bacteria (or better yet, there are new-fangled toothbrushes with orange rubber on the back: specifically designed for your tongue). Other than that: I don't really know. I brush my tongue and its not completely effective. I don't use Mouthwash though. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

knewknickname	Foul odor can be trapped particles between the teeth--are you also using dental floss, it's imperative to do so. Or you may have early peridontal disease, which causes the 'pockets' between the teeth & gums to deepen, and also traps smelly bacterial (that also are damaging too); pockets require a professional dental cleaning. If you have a lot of pockets or they are deep, you can make a stab at getting professional dental cleaning every 3 months until better or go straight to a peridontal surgeon who will open up the pockets & clean them out. Other potential causes are chronic infections of the tonsils, or any of the deeper lymph nodes of the throat. Or chronic sinus infections (which can early on be provoked by the swelling of the sinuses & nasal passages by allergies) Some people have chronic acid refux that creates lots of tissue irritation that can smell too. Mouth wash is probably not very useful, despite the enormous amount of advertisement trying to convince you otherwise. In summary, brush your teeth AND FLOSS after each meal or snack. If this doesn't resolve the problem, see a dentist and your health care provider to decide what to do next. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
