Depends. If they are sick inside it could be from that. \nMost people who have halitosis have unhealthy gums and teeth. Vitamin C is needed in much larger doses than is recommended by the goverment for good health of their teeth and gums. Vitamin C literally makes your gums and capillaries in your body, stronger. \n\nFlossing is another one. You can brush till the day is long and if you do not floss you will continue with bad breath. Food is stuck in our teeth on a daily basis. If not removed, it rots. \n\nKeeping your mouth hydrated is another way to cut down on bad breath. Your mouth is not meant to get dry, when it does it causes bad breath.

chief cause of halitosis is inadequate cleanin of the posterior 1/3rd of tongue. every1 scrapes the anterior visible part but that is jst 15% of job done. u will gag when doin this but do it neway after deep inhalation.\n\nchew sugar free gums. these stimulate ur salivary flow which helps to reduce bad breath  and caries.\n\nif u hv gum infection, it can cause oozin of pus which gives u the smell. besides, cavity in any tooth may cause the same. so get dental prohylaxis done regularly.\n\ndont let ur mouth dehydrate. drink plenty of water nd gargle after eating or drinkin nethin.\n\nif u hv acidic regurgitation, get urslef treated for tht.\n\nmouth rinses can b used in addition to all these.

I'm kinda ticked off.  Apparently, I've reached my daily limit of questions on here.  See here's my problem... my breath really stinks.  I was thinking about going and brushing my teeth or at least swishing some Scope around, but I'm pretty lazy and the bathroom is like 40 feet away.  Plus, I'll probably have dinner within the hour and I don't want the toothpaste taste mixin' w/ my chicken and/or asparagus.  I was gonna ask for insight into my predicament but lo and behold Yahoo Answers provides no answer.  Jerks.  What's this question about?  Marijuana?  Well, I guess if I was smokin' weed right now I wouldn't be so worried about my bad breath.

Rinse with warm, salty water several times a day.  This will help keep salt-hating bacteria on the run.\n\nOn another note, keep in mind that your body renews its outer layers of skin, etc. approximately every 7 days.  Your tongue will be feeling much better this time next week.\n\nBest of everything!

A bacterial infection in your mouth or throat is a whole lot more likely to cause bad breath [halitosis] than cancer would. [I think some dogs can smell some cancers, though.]\nSo first relax.\nNow go brush your teeth really thoroughly.  Stick your tongue partway out and note its color and appearance. Brush your tongue lightly [and not too far back] with your toothbrush. Rinse your brush and mouth well. Floss. Check to see if there's any bleeding from your gums. [If you can, go to your local pharmacy and get a dental care pack that has a dentist's mirror and probe or one of those lighted magnifiers that they use to look in ears, nose, and throat. Less than $20 for both, I promise.]\nRinse your mouth with a very mild mixture of peroxide and water. Gargle in the back of your throat with salt water.\nGo to the doctor Monday. If you are feeling so tired and yucky, you probably have a tough case of strep or even mononucleosis which should be identified and treated. [These days a strep test takes only 3 minutes!] It could even be a popcorn hull or something that has slipped between a tooth and your gums. . \nPlease relax. It's not throat cancer and even if it was, 36 hours will not make a huge difference in your treatment or outcome.\n\nI really hope these tips will help you feel better and more in control of the situation.

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.

Most of the breath actually comes from the tongue. You can try brushing your tongue, but it isn't as useful as a tongue scraper, which you can find at any drug store. Mouthwash will kill the bacteria, which causes bad breath. I usually brush, then scrape, then use mouth wash.
