Teeth cleaning? page 2

[JennGlob]

Flossing is huge. Since I started faithfully flossing a couple years ago, I no longer have morning breath.

[Bron]

agree with the flossing - bits of meat caught in your teeth can produce smell. the other thing i would consider is the size of your tonsils. you can get food caught in there too, that can rot.

How far back do you brush your tongue? And how do you clean your brush?

As far back as I can reach without gagging. I rinse my brush with water.

I used to suffer from bad breath like you. Most likely, your problem isn't from lack of oral hygiene. What cleared mine up what a large dose of antibiotics for a surgery. My theory is I was suffering from an infection and the ab kicked it.

Do you eat fermented foods and/or take large amounts of probiotics? It could help.

It's not your teeth; it's your gut. Most likely..

I had bad breath frequently that entirely disappeared when I kicked sugar to the curb. It only comes back when I indulge in it again, or am sick, or some new protocol is leading to a bit of detoxing. Brushing your tongue & mouthwash & such just cover it up for a few minutes. The stink comes from way down, not from your mouth itself.

Usually.

Have you had any root canals? If so oil pulling may work for you.

I am so hoping this is true for me. I never had a problem with bad breath until I went primal. I am in the process of adding resistant starches and probiotics to my diet in hopes of fixing whatever has changed in my gut.

[MamaGrok]

Could be die-off from stopping feeding the bad bugs in your gut. IDK about starches being helpful (some say inulin & such are; they weren't for me), but probiotics for sure. Make some fermented sauerkraut!

I don't at all, unless you consider chesea "fermented food". I will try to take some probiotics

I will try this as well
