Visit an orthodontist.  They have an appliance that can help.  If not treated, buck teeth, speech problems and low self esteem are all a factor.

Your cause may be more than just dental.  Some people who have indigestion issues such as reflux may also have bad breath.  Your best bet is proper dental hygiene, to include brushing, flossing, tongue scrapping, and mouthwash.  If you know you're going to be talking to someone face to face might be sure to pack breath mints to hold under your tongue just to help...good luck.

well the ? is "tongue thrust" not "thrush"...\n\nit is known as tongue thrusting when the child &/or adult constantly places his tongue (subconsciously most of the times) in between the upper and lower front teeth.\n\nnewyz if the child has this habit, u need to see an orthodontist who will construct a custom fabricated appliance that when worn helps in breaking this habit, but whether the habit can be undone also depends on the child`s age.\n\ntongue thrusting can lead to a sequela of future problems, beginning with anterior open bite (there occurs spacing in between the upper & lower teeth when the mouth is closed which in normal conditions should have caused the upper teeth to overlap the lower). this can further lead to incomplete eruption of the posterior teeth which come in contact prematurely ; speech problems ; protrusion of upper &/or lower front teeth to name a few.\n\nan orthodontist can both correct the habit or get back the near to normal dentition if the teeth are already affected.

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

the CURE depends on the cause - virus, bacteria, vocal abuse...  you'd have to see a physician for a diagnosis and appropriate recommendation for treatment/prescription.\n\nRelief of the soreness can be obtained through over-the-counter pain medications, like Tylenol or Advil, as well as by lozenges or sprays that contain analgesics (they usually taste bad, though!). Salt water gargles are also nasty to taste, but help kill germs and speed recovery time.

i'm not sure, but i do want to give you kudos for looking into lingual orthodontics!  i've been interested in how those are done for a while now!  the biggest problems with those, from what i've learned, are hygiene and discomfort with the tongue.  also the tongue can actually impeade in the movement if the movement needed is lingual.  but good luck with this!

The clinical term for bad breath is halitosis.  Bad breath is primarily caused by poor oral hygiene, but can also can be caused by retained food particles or gum disease. Proper brushing including brushing the tongue, cheeks, and the roof of the mouth will remove bacteria and food particles. Flossing removes accumulated bacteria, plaque and food that may be trapped between teeth. Mouth rinses are effective in temporary relief of bad breath. Consult your dentist and/or physician if the condition persists.\n\nIt is important to practice good oral hygiene, such as brushing and flossing your teeth at least twice a day. To alleviate the odor, clean your tongue with your toothbrush or a tongue scraper, a plastic tool that scrapes away bacteria that builds on the tongue. Chewing sugar-free gum also may help control the odor. If you have dentures or a removable appliance, such as a retainer or mouthguard, clean the appliance thoroughly before placing it back in your mouth. Before you use mouth rinses, deodorizing sprays or tablets, talk with your dentist because these products only mask the odor temporarily, and some products work better than others.

As a child, 40 years ago  (!!!), the home remedy was to gargle with luke-warm salt water. As a child it seemed to work, though whether that was because it got better quickly anyway is not known.\nBut now you might like to look here:

There are commercial tongue cleaners out there. A new one I saw advertized recently is on the end of a toothbrush. Some people use their toothbrush to clean their tongue, but that just feels icky.

Go to your local sporting good store and get a mouth guard to wear at night. It is called bruxism and is generally related to a TMJ disorder. It can be corrected by anyone who specializes in both TMJ and muscle/joint disorders. Cranio therapists, chiropractors, and orthodontists should be able to help, or refer you to someone in your area who can help.

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.

My husband suffers from the same thing. We now give him a homeopathic remedy that we purchased from the drug store. It has quinine in it. It really works for him. You place 2 tablets under your tongue before you go to bed. He has had real good luck with it. I hope you can find some where you live. Good luck.
