This sucks. I've been lurking for a while so it sucks to post on this note -_-


I've been suffering from bad breath for ages. Since I was four or something.It's lame to be the guy in the class or in the room that's 'The smelly one'. Also, you know the 'social outcast' kind of person? Anxious, shifty, not making eye contact, etc? This is what bad breath has done to me, when I'm far from being that kind of person -- When someone comes up to my face I have to look down or look somewhere in order to 'deflect' the breath away. I can be talkative and confident,
as long as you're faaaar in the distance. Close up I keep my trap shut.


Although I can kind of understand why (A bad smell is a bad smell), some people are tremendously unsympathetic when it comes to bad breath. They think that you don't care about your hygiene, i.e. "Just brush your teeth!" and you always hear people taking the piss out of people with bad breath (Oh I got this guy at work and his breath STINKS! I keep offering gum, but he don't take the hint). At this point I'm kind of desensitised to insults. But it's really hard to actually get through life with this problem, which manifests itself in any situation to do with interaction. So that's when trying to pay the bills, trying to meet new people, work, etc. I feel screwed, really, and I'm wondering is this really what life has to offer me.

I've basically torn my mouth apart trying to gargle baking soda, hydrogen peroxide (Yes you can gargle this), lemon, chewing parsley, all those solutions. But even if they work for five minutes, thirty minutes later, my mouth feels dry and absolutely FOUL, like a graveyard is in there.



Help JUB, this is depressing. Feels like a curse. I think I've hit a dead end in life. Can't get friends, can't get a job, can't get a bf, can't...=/:cry:](*,)
 
Welcome to JUB. Sorry to learn of your troubling breath. I'm going to assume you've been to a doctor(s) for this. I'd keep searching for a reason/solution. Good luck.
 
You might want to also check how your stomach is working and what sort of foods you regularly eat. Bad breath doesn't always come from your mouth.
 
Well, how do you know that you have bad breath? Sometimes social anxiety disorders become irrational fears of things like having bad breath, body odor, etc.

If in fact you do have chronic halitosis (the medical term for bad breath) you haven't been to the doctor, you need to go. Bad breath doesn't come out of nowhere. A lot of the time, it's a symptom of an underlying health problem.
 
Thanks, I booked an appointment with the GP today. Before I wasn't convinced that it could be a medical problem, but now I realise that I can't mess around and need to exhaust all options.

And yeah, I definitely have it. I was teased about it on a regular basis up to high school. As I've gotten older (I'm early twenties) people are 'less rude' but it's happened behind my back a few times. I started a new course a few weeks ago and it was the first session where people were getting to know each other, and I heard a few people gossiping about it while I was sat a few centimetres away. I just got up and went home because of it.

So that one guy basically used me to break the ice with his new friend. What are people like? Fair enough if you find it unpleasant (Again, understandable), but is that behaviour necessary?

I can't be bothered to be cynical about people though, because sorting out the problem is way more important.
 
If you have plaque buildup between the gums and the teeth, you might need to seek the help of a dental hygienist. They'll scrape away the hardedned buildup and may even flush it with antisceptic. Something you can buy is chlorhexidene which kills bacteria in the mouth that might help with reducing the smell.

If your bad breath eminates from further down your gastrointesinal tract, you might want to consider seeking advice about changing your diet.

Do you have a dry mouth in the morning? If you do, you're not producing enough saliva, and that can cause a smelly breath. Not having enough saliva might also mean you're dehydrated...
 
I sometimes get bad breath from a dry mouth, make sure you keep well hydrated and see how that goes. If that doesn't work I suggest you talk to your dentist or hygienist.

Edit: I also keep chewing gum on me there is a brand I particularly like which has xylitol which is a type of sweetner with anti-bacterial properties.

Yes, this is what I was thinking, along with agreeing with those who encourage you to see a doctor. I have to think it involves more than your dental health and hygiene, since you've been experiencing this since four years of age.

Glad to hear that you intend to be more proactive about this. No need to suffer the anxieties and insensitive remarks you've suffered if there's a solution you simply haven't yet found.

Good luck!
 
Have you tried getting a tongue scraper, and/or switching to a mouth wash that isn't alcohol-based?

Also: How often do you brush your teeth, and what toothpaste do you use?
 
Are you taking any medication that could cause xerostomia? A number of things can contribute to dry mouth and halitosis. You should also schedule an appointment with your dentist.

Nomenclature brings up a good point. Most people think they need an alcohol based mouthwash - however the alcohol is in fact not that great for your mouth.

Actually, the alcohol in most mouthwashes dries out your mouth and can make bad breath worse.


You could also try brushing with baking soda and peroxide, or getting a toothpaste that has baking soda and peroxide in it. If that doesn't work, then I don't know what to tell you.
