Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / February 2007extremely severe bad breath -please help
Hi I need some serious help. I'm a 25 year old female that has severe bad breath. It smells and taste like sulphur. I don't know what to do- 10 years ago I was diagnosed with recurring tumors in my gums. I have had them removed 4 times and haven't had a problem for about 6 years. Unfortunately the space on the left of my fourth upper tooth on the top bleeds when i brush and is emitting this awful smell. I carry a toothbrush, mints, gum even mouth wash- nothing helps for more than ten minutes.This may sound trivial considering that I am not dying but it is a huge problem. I cannot get intimate with anyone or have close friends. I just graduated from college with a masters but i can't even get close enough to anyone to form a relationship. Men ask me out I have to say no. I cannot function in society. I am a recluse, this is awful. No dentist has been able to help me. Can anyone out there help me? pr > Hi I need some serious help.

I have been battling this problem for so long..I had given up at the thought of being able to be close to people and I was starting to think that I was going crazy. My parents live near UAB ( which is home to one of the top dental schools in the country). I went in and explained my problem and found a resident that found that I had a very severe ( chronic) bacterial infection. The infections is so bad that he is going to remove my bone graft from my bone marrow transplan, & clean out the infection,which could have been there for years! He said that this might help him to save a tooth ( unsure) but I am on a very large dosage of penicillin and I am having a biopsy on thursday. I never would have had the courage to get help ( no dmd ever saw a problem) if you had not encouraged me. Thank you. I feel like you saved my life. >You probably have acute ulcerative gingivitis, a gram neg organism ,smells >like mouse pee.,diagnosed on the limited info available ,you need [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >> >> pr > Hi I need some serious help.

Maybe there is sulfur-producing bacteria in your stomach, and they are producing these products. Try eating a vegetarian diet and reduce meat consumption. Brush your tongue with a tongue brush. Sometimes bacteria hiding in the tongue can cause the odor. If as you claim it is associated with a tooth or gum problem, that means you have an infection of the tooth or gums. Have it checked out with a gum specialist. Flossing may help. If you get food stuck between your teeth, the food will rot and will emit a bad smell. Same thing if food gets stuck below the gum line. Try flossing all of your teeth and smelling the floss after each tooth that you floss. If you smell the same smell, it could be due to the rotting gunk between your teeth. Brush your teeth, then after brushing, floss, and see if you pick up any bad smell on the floss. If so, the brushing does not get rid of the bad smell between your teeth. How to get rid of it? Dip the floss with an anti-septic like Listerine, and then floss your teeth, so that the listerine kills the bacteria between the teeth. Remember that any food that you can floss out between your teeth is potentially a source of the sulphurous odor. Do some research on what food contain sulfur. Avoid eating these foods. A dentist can use an ultrasonic cleaner called a "cavitron" to blow away any bacteria under the gum line of that "fourth upper tooth." It might also need a root canal, if it happens to be infected. Get a cleaning every 3-6 months, and see if your breath seems better after a cavitron cleaning below the gum line. It might also be an acute gum infection called ANUG, or "trenchmouth." This would require a one week prescription of metronidazole or flagyl. On Feb 13, 8:02 pm, mamoun...@yahoo.com wrote: > > Hi I need some serious help.

I did not read your post but as a quick fix try a rinse called smart mouth its over the counter you can find it in rite aid or online. |
