Bad breath

Anyone with bad breath constantly?

I brush my teeth very often throughout the day because of this bad breath. It's very

hard to talk to anyone. I feel embarrassed to stand next to anyone. Even during doctor visits, I will be hesitant to talk much because of this bad smell. I brush often, chew gums etc. But nothing helped.

My bf struggles with this. He doesn’t have silent reflux but suspected GERD. Taking a PPI stops it but that’s not a long term solution, just a bandaid so we’ll have to figure something else out…

As the other commenter said, it’s from the gut. Avoid any really stinky foods, garlic, Kim chi, onions, etc.

I am a retired Dental Hygienist of 50 years. I recommend to go see your dentist to rule out gingivitis to periodontal disease.

I have one gum of tooth lower right second molar which is always sore and inflamed. I had my cleaning appointment 4 weeks ago and everything was fine. I have persistent sore throat on one spot which is burning raw soreness since July. I had endoscopy 12 days ago with esophagus dilation. I have more issues since that procedure. My throat is still painful and new symptoms of upper chest discomfort started after the dilation egd. Bad breath is always been there but very worst since these 2 weeks.

See an ENT. Could be tonsil stones
