I've had bad breath for a long time. I get my teeth cleaned by a dental hygienist, I floss, I brush, use mouthwash, drink water etc but still has an awful smell during the day :( been dentist too who says there's no problems with my gums and got no cavities either! I don't smoke or drink

Is there any treatment I can have to help? Currently looking in Boots but not sure which product / mouthwash to get?

Yes. How do you know?

You can have diabetes (type 1) with the healthiest diet in the world!

Hope you sort it soon OP

My husband told me :( I am glad he did to be honest because I could tell my breath smelled from the taste.. weird to describe! I will go and see the docs but I've got clorexidine mouthwash today that supposedly helps bad breath so will see how that goes and got a new toothbrush and tongue scrubber too

Use interdental brushes to clean right between your teeth and a tongue scraper!

are you on a diet OP? Losing weight gives you bad breath because of the ketosis. I use chewing gum constantly whenever I'm losing weight.

My Partner is like this-He Only needs to go to the Dentist once a Year and has healthy teeth and gums, However his breath at times really does smell!
