I spent a lot of time in the dentist chair. Every 4 months for 4 years straight and I still had bad breath.Replied By Nick (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada) on 02/20/2009
Not everyone wants to be pumped up with "numbing" meds and have everything from fluoride to mercury put in the mouths for the sake of cosmetics or something thats could be cleared up with a home remedy. Why not try something all natural first? Is it the cheapness of the products or the lack of side-effects that bothers you? Also you should read up on fluoride and mercury and how destructive they are before telling your loved ones and strangers to go and "get thee to the dentist". Have you ever wondered why you can't swallow fluoride and when your done you have to spit it in a biohazard container?Replied By Aleda (Fennimore, WI) on 03/20/2009
No, not everyone has the luxary of free services from a dentist. New Jersey MUST be waaaaay different than my state. The whole point of this forum and site is to eliminate issues naturally. Of course, rotting teeth and such can only be dealt with by a dentist, but it's not especially conducive to come here and make judgements.Replied By Rosy (Orlando, Fl) on 03/21/2009
I wish I could go to the doctor or dentist for free. I can't even get one to treat me without me having insurance, regardless of me having the money.Replied By Joe (Pittsburgh, Pa) on 03/26/2009
my dentist had worse breath than me.Replied By Naturecalls (Provo, Ut) on 09/10/2010
When I notice a foul smell in my breath, I always feel my lymph nodes. If there is any inflammation, I take a flashlight and look for hiding "tonsil stones" or white spots in the back of my throat. If there is nothing visible, I gargle gargle and gargle again. Anything helps.. Water, Salt Water, Peroxide Mix, Olive Oil, Listerine. As long as its churning, it can knock the food loose. This prevents the festering and creation of the 'smelly balls'. This is a hereditary issue. Chances are, if you haven't had a stone by 25, your bad breath is from another cause..Replied By Jamie (Lake Worth, Fl) on 09/11/2010
Babs, Let me preface this by saying I am almost 50 and have all of my own beautiful teeth. I have taken care of them all of my life. The times when I did not have dental insurance I paid for biyearly cleanings and any other work that had to be done. My parents reinforced the good dental care regimen. With that said here in Florida the state or charity type care does not include dental care at all, period, end, for adults. The best they will do is pull them out, and not provide dentures. I am not sticking up for yucky mouthed people, but some of it is heredity. Then those who let theirs go, shame on them, but in that case the treatment is sometimes worse than the illness.
