my daughter breath smells really bad

[chacha3]

my dd has really smelly breath asked the dentist about it and they said that teeth and everything are fine! she does drink a lot of milk tho! that is the only drink she likes! brushes her teeth twice a day! she is five and has got a learning disability!!

is it always bad? if worse than usual it can be a sign of infection. have you asked the doc?

Could be tonsillitis or adenoids, chacha - get doc to check.

gonn atake her down one day in the week! she has had her adonoids out tho

someone posted about this a few weeks ago and turned out to be an infection from something lodged in the child;s nose IIRC!!

You could try brushing her tongue, lost of bacteria are present on the tounge.

Do you use a childs toothpaste? Id so it may be that she now needs something a little stronger. Boots do a great Applemint toothpaste for 6+, but at 5, she will be fine with it if you ony use a little.

There could be probs with tonsils, or tummy upset. Also, she doesn't have a tendency to put things up her nose, does she? Check there is nothing stuck up there.

i have changed her toothpaste three times to little stronger ones! brush her toungue as well as teeth,gonna def take her to doctors check for any infections oh just thought she has an appointment with ent monday so could ask them! just checked her nose nothing i can see

my son has chronic sinusitis which makes his breath smell. Apparently it is very difficult to diagnose in children as it doesn't have the classic symptoms of adults .
