I think DD has bad breath !!

[laicarolyn]

Can i have some advice with this topic ? i know it sounded silly .. DD is 14 months and i brushed her teeth in the morning after her milk (b4 she goes to nursery) and during her bath. Though she will have her last bottle right b4 bed. I normally used only a pea sized drop of toothpaste for her. And she drinks plenty of water each day. Girls can you give some advice ??

Is this just the last day or two? If so, it's highly likely she's got a sore throat.

Teethbrushing routine/amount sounds fine

i often notice my ds' breath is a bit whiffy just before/when he is unwell

Sore throat I expect - dd gets bad breath when she has a cold.

she has it in the morning when she just got out of bed - well - cot ! It started since she was 10 months old. It's not like the whole day just in the morning & occasionally during the day. That's why i brushed her teeth twice a day (morning & evening). oh dear ! i hope it is not the start halitosis !!

DS gets it a bit when he's teething.

does she have a dummy
ds used to have dummy-breath first thing in the morning, also smelly when he was poorly in anyway

yes she does... i only let her have her dummy when she goes to sleep otherwise she doesn't. and she has been teething since 4moths old !! now that's a thought !

the only time my 21 mths old dd have a bad breath even after brushing her teeth is when she is coming down with a cold as very likely its a sore throat
