I am getting foul smell from my mouth by around 11 am onwards until I brush my teeth. I gargled with salt and turmeric. But this treatment did not give expected result. Please suggest me any treatment.

Hello Lybrate user, most common cause of foul smell from our mouth is plaque (soft layer deposited over tooth surface after we eat or drink anything) and calculus (gradually those soft deposits if not removed becomes hard). With an ultrasonic instrument we dentist remove this deposits from your tooth surface. A course of antibiotic along with mouthwash followed by ultrasonic scaling and polishing is the treatment recommended for you. Few other causes of mouth breathing are high blood sugar or mouth breathing. You can consult physician for that. Hope this helps.

Hi, There are various reasons of bad breath, like impurities in blood, inefficient digestive system, dry mouth (lack of saliva production), gum disease, cavities, plaque and tartar formation around teeth and gums, kind of diet, improper brushing / cleaning of mouth etc. I would advise you to get a thorough physical and dental examination to rule out the cause of bad breath and to solve it permanently.

Get deep scaling and cleaning done from a dentist.

Smoking or chewing tobacco-based products also can cause bad breath, You may need deep cleaning & fill tooth cavities with artificial enamel filling. Rinse your mouth thoroughly with a mouth wash until then. Advance procedures can be done with laser too. You may consult me in person.

Hope you don't have smoking ,chewing tobacco products or drinking alcohol habits as you have mentioned none of this. Also you do not have any systemic problems like diabetes. Coming to your problem, you can choose Close up fire freeze toothpaste. It will prevent foul smells for longer. Clean your tongue daily. It will prvent foul smells further. You can use Listerine mouthwash twice daily. It will again improve your problem. At your age of 55, I would not suggest you to chew on sugar free gum but you can chew on coconut as often as possible. It has fibres which naturally and effectively enhances flushing action of saliva. Still, if no improvements observed after at least one week trial, please visit a nearby dentist to get a professional cleaning and polishing. Let him find the actual reasons and treatment accordingly. THANK YOU.
