I Suffer From Bad Breath, Despite Regularly Brushing My Teeth. What Treatments Are Available To Combat This Problem?

Tuesday, August 13th, 2013
Q.

Hello Andrew,

I have been suffering from bad breath for many years and now realise that I need to seek proffessional help in order to obtain a long term solution. To give you a brief idea of my problem, I brush my teeth at least twice a day and in the way in which my dentist advises. I also regularly clean my tongue and use mouthwash, but within one hour of my routine, to maintain oral hygeine, I can guarantee that the bad breath will be back. Although my gums are alot better than they used to be, I still believe that it is the gum disease, that my dentist tells me I have, that is the main cause of the problem. Can you advise me of any treatments available that I can undergo to remove this problem from my life.

Kind Regards

Am 35 I have bad breath since I was 13 and the older I get the worse its getting I go to the dentist every 3 months and I floss and brush every day. My dentist tells me scrape to my tongue and i do, every day! . I still have bad breath. After eating most times my breath smells and when I eat foods that affect my stomach.

I keep needing root canals after getting dental crowns. What should I do?

Friday, November 30th, 2012
Q.

A year ago I had crowns on 5 upper front teeth replaced (solely cosmetic reasons originally). 2 of these subsequently need root canals. Just prior to this it was discovered that another 2 of these crowned teeth needed root canal re-treatment. During the last month or so, one of these (re-treated) crowns on a canine tooth has developed a \’lip\’, into which I can insert the tip of my fingernail. When I floss or use an oral irrigator I have now noticed a smell. The dentist xrayed the tooth but says there is nothing wrong with it but will replace it. I am loathe to do this due to all the recent problems I have had and yet more trauma to this tooth, & which , with every crown replacement, is fitted higher and higher up into the gum. On the other hand I don\’t want to forever have bad breath!! What would you advise? Is there any way this margin around the gumline/crown can be filled? Thank you
