bad breath

by M.P., Aug 17, 2006 12:00AM

What is a good way to prevent bad breath, I brush my teeth and use mouthwash. I brush my tongue and floss.I stand a little further from people because I don't want them to smell my breath or smell theirs. I think bad breath gives a person questions about their hygene.I look on tv and all around and people talk so close to each other without that fear.Is there something out there to make me feel confident. Thank you.

p.s i don't have any gum diseases. only 2 cavities.and my wisdom teeth are out. its just a normal mouth.

I would consider checking a possible gastric or sinus problem.I have also would look into the possibilty that the odor if there is any is emanating from your tonsillar area. You can't do any more than you are doing.
