>>17883180
Stop eating poop

>>17883200
:( I don't

>>17883194
Well, that's a fucking good place to start then

>>17883204
Yea you are right, gonna get that sorted.

Do you have any other health problems? bad breath might be a symptom of some other problem. How is your diet/fitness level?

>>17883216
Nope no health issues. As far as diet I eat whatever is cooked at home (Cuban food) Rice, beans, meats, and etc. I also eat things like cereal, cup noodles, juices.

I don't do a lot of exercise though, I spend a lot of my time on the computer. (I am not fat or anything, I am actually very skinny)

You could have an awful case of tonsil stones since you're using mouthwash, tongue brush abd stay hydrated. Tonsil stone suck and are a case of bad breath as well and unless you clear them out, no amount of brushing and mouth wash will help you

do you use floss? do you gargle your mouthwash?

>>17883308
I do not floss, every time I try to floss nothing ever comes out. (Probably because I don't have anything there in the first place)

I do gargle the mouthwash a little bit, yes. Maybe I should do it longer then usual or spit out and get some more.

Tonsil stones are a thing for me, and occasionally I will get one in my mouth if I cough or gargle, or whatever it may be.

There doesnt need to be "anything" for you to floss. Bad Bacteria gets stuck inbtween there and flossing gets it out. You should floss once a day, and don't floss too hard.

Gargle for at least 30 seconds and make sure you swish all around the mouth, get the roof, get the cheek pouches, get underneath your tongue.

After your routine wait like 20 minutes, then lick the back of your hand. Let the spit dry for like 3 minutes and sniff the back of your hand. What you smell is what other people will be smelling form your breath.

Thanks! I will start flossing as soon as I can get some.

I gargle for about 30 seconds already, but I will try to swish around all the places like you recommended.

Thanks for the advice friend!

A common misconception is that you are brushing/flossing to get rid of food particles from your teeth.

The goal of brushing/flossing is to scrub off built up plaque before it hardens into tartar (this process takes roughly 24 hours which is why brushing twice a day is recommended).

Enamel softens after eating so it's recommended that you brush at least 30 minutes after eating.

A dentist will clean up built up tartar and instruct you in how to properly floss, or you can just google it.

Since you've been having this problem for so long, Getting advice from a professional is a good place to start.

1. Go to Dentist
2. Explain your problem and history in great detail.
3. Probably get referral to Oral Hygienist
4. Go to every appointment
5. Continue with strict oral hygiene regimen
6. ???
7. Profit

Could be tonsil stones, they smell bad and are difficult to remove

Damn, /adv/ scarred me for life.

You might also have post nasal drip, it's pretty common and can cause bad breath plus not help with the tonsil stones

>>17883180
See a dentist and a doctor. If the problem is not in your mouth, it may be in your stomach. In either case it's fairly easily treatable once you find the cause.
