Go get a mirror. a hand mirror.\nNow Stick it out, Ga head, Stick it out.\n\nIf you stick your tongue out and see any color other than pink, brush your tongue; If you gag easily stick out your tongue as far as possible and gently bite your tongue, then brush the portion of tongue, in front of your teeth. (i'm not kidding) The teeth block the gag reflex. try to get the portion farther back as best you can. It may take a few days but your tongue will gradually go back to a healthy pink color. Then your bad breath will go away.\n\nThe odor caused by bacteria on the tongue and sulfer compounds by products, that they are busily at work making all night while you sleep. So if if you get rid of the bacteria there, the smell goes too.\n\ngood luck

Your problem may be with your stomach.  Do you get heartburn or sour stomach?  Do you have diabetes?  You may have acid reflux disease, or you might be burning fat and be acidotic.  If brushing and flossing don't work, talk to your doctor.  I don't recommend using mouthwash, as that can damage the inside of your mouth and cause further mouth odor.

Some ways to lower your risk of developing halitosis are: \nBrush and floss teeth regularly. \nClean and replace your toothbrush regularly. \nAvoid mouthwashes with flavorings, dyes, and alcohol.\nAvoid stress and seek out ways to relax and resolve stressful conditions in your life. \nGet sufficient sunlight, exercise, and sleep.\nAvoid spicy foods and those that leave residues or get stuck in the teeth (alcohol, cheese, meat, sweets). \nGo on a cleansing or raw food fast to detox your body. \nChew parsley after meals, it is very rich in chlorophyll, a natural mouthwash. \nWhen you sleep, your salivary glands slow down the production of saliva allowing the bacteria to grow inside the mouth. Brushing your teach should get rid of the odor. However, if you skip breakfast, the bad odor may reappear.

Best remedy is to visit your dentist. Possible treatments that the dentist will do is cleaning or the so called oral prophylaxis (to elimate calcular deposits which cause bad breath) then restoration or filling of decayed teeth. The dentist may also advise you to use a mouthwash. Any mouthwash available in the market will do. But personally, i prefer using Betadine Oral Antiseptic. Usually after these procedures you'll find an improvement. If after all these you still have bad breath it's best if you consult with a physician for a check up coz you may have an underlying disease which causes bad breath or HALITOSIS.

"The best home methods are baking soda or hydrogen peroxide. "\n\nBaking soda can really ruin your teeth over time because it's\nso gritty. \n\nHydrogen Peroxide is a 'bleach'. Many dentists and their assistants will recommend hydrogen peroxide to you.\n\nI have been told however that the problem with hydrogen peroxide is that it will turn your tongue brown. Your tongue has these little hairs on it. The hydrogen peroxide aids in their growth.\n\nIf you want a little furry rug on your tongue then go the hydrogen peroxide route. \n\nNeither method is a suitable replacement for brushing your teeth\nand flossing.\n\n" eating fresh crunchy veggies and fruits such as: carrots, broccoli, celery, apples, strawberries, and cucumbers can help whiten your teeth. I've worked in the dental field for years and have seen many teeth damaged because people thought that brushing with baking soda or eating lemons whitened their teeth."\n\nhttp://www.otan.dni.us/webfarm/emailproject/white.htm

If you have an on-going problem with halitosis (bad breath), that is a sign of periodontal disease.  See your dentist as soon as possible to discuss this problem

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

Floss your teeth every day, too.  Once every 24 hours is enough.  Flossing gets the crud a brush can't reach, and that crud supports bacteria that can give you bad breath.

Well, assuming you want to addresss the problem, and not just cover up things, the best thing for common bad breath is to practice good oral hygiene, although I am pretty guilty of popping gum or a mint when I can't get to a toothbrush.  A common cause for bad breath is gum disease so you might want to look at that angle. \n\nAnother common cause is having a dry mouth, maybe sipping water more frequently can help.  But if you have chronic bad breath and you've elminated the above as possible sources also be aware some stomach disorders and even a sinus infection can cause bad breath.  A trip to your doctor might give a clue.\n\nThere were pills around that said they worked in the stomach to cure food odor, but many oil based food odors, such as garlic, actually get into the bloodstream and the odor comes from the respiratory system and not the stomach.  They were mostly clove oil based but I haven't seen them around lately.

Baking soda is a great remedy for bad breath, because it changes the pH in your mouth and makes it a less friendly environment for many bacteria.\n\nTry the baking soda solution. You can add extra punch to your Water Pik by using a baking soda solution to clean your teeth. You can brush on baking soda with a toothbrush and then rinse with water or use your Water Pik,  What I really recommend is mixing baking soda with warm water, pouring that solution into the Water Pik and using it to irrigate your teeth and mouth.\n\nBrush your tongue. Perhaps the most overlooked way of eliminating bad breath is to brush the top surface of the tongue when you brush your teeth. Although there are many causes of bad breath, usually the odor arises from the surface of the tongue. That's because the tongue is covered with microscopic, hairlike projections that trap and harbor plaque and food.  A daily, gentle brushing (including the top of your tongue) unlodges these odorous particles.\n\nOr give it a wipe. Don't have a toothbrush handy? Not to worry. Simply take a hanky or a piece of gauze and give your tongue a good wiping. Even a quick wipe is good for removing the coating on your tongue that can cause bad breath.\n\nJust about any type of mouthwash will temporarily mask the odors of bad breath--usually for about 20 minutes. But to eliminate the foul smell choose a mouthwash that contains zinc. Zinc has a tendency to do a lot of things to inhibit the production of sulfur compounds that cause bad breath. Zinc mouthwashes don't taste as metallic as copper-containing oral products.
