Start of gum disease.

Get a doggie toothbrush and paste from your nearest pet store. You dont really need to brush them, just getting the toothpaste on the teeth helps.

Even if this isn’t the cause, it still needs done and is worth a shot.

Good luck.

Need some advise please?

I always feel very bloated and I am constipated. I eat bran flakes in the morning and wholegrain bread so im getting plenty of fibre. I have bad breath and was wondering if this is connected to the constipation as I always brush my teeth and use a tongue scraper.
I have a white coating on my tongue also. Would anyone be able to give me some advise on what this could been please?

Fiber is the indigestible carbohydrate found in plant cell walls and is either soluble or insoluble. Soluble fiber acts like a gel and insoluble fiber ads bulk to or softens stool. A healthy fiber content of the diet can be achieved by eating fruits, vegetables, beans and whole grains. However, when eating whole grains, increase your fluid intake as insoluble fiber absorbs fluid from your intestines making you constipated.

While the causes of situational bad breath may result from eating garlic, onions and other foods, and smoking and drinking of alcohol, brushing of the teeth only temporarily masks the situation. Most all toothpastes contain a large amount of the foaming ingredient Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, which tricks us into thinking our mouths are fresh, but actually dries the lining of the mouth, and leads to more bad breath in just a short time! And mouthwashes with alcohol don’t do the job either. While they may temporarily disguise the problem, they don’t address the root cause

halitosis is caused by a type of bacteria that lives below the surface of the tongue! These bacteria, living without oxygen – that is, anaerobically-produce foul smelling sulfur compounds that are the bad boys of halitosis. For example, the smell of rotten eggs inherent in Hydrogen Sulfide is one of the worst offenders, as is another compound – Methyl Mercaptan. These Volatile Sulfur Compounds can only be affected if the bacteria below the surface of the tongue are treated with oxygen!
