what is the best way to cure halitosis (bad breath) i rinse and brush day and night?
Bad breath is caused by bacteria on the back of the tongue. Make your own toothpaste and mouthwash using household products. It will instantly and permanently eliminate bad breath. Email me for details.
Help on curing halitosis?
I have noticed that I get bad breath whenever I get hungry? This started when I was eight…and I realized that drinking water helps a little but not much and after I eat. Also, there’s always this white film on my tongue which I think is the cause of it???
i always scrape it
3 times a day but it
starts coming back an hour later.
Consult your dentist for a proper diagnostic. There are many causes of bad breath other than bacteria in the mouth or poor oral hygiene. Some of the causes include :
If you have dry mouth or is constantly dehydrated, you can be more susceptible to bad breath. Know where the source of your halitosis or bad breath comes from to get effective and safe treatments.
There are a number of causes of bad breath, foremost among them being bacteria in the mouth, stomach and intestinal disturbances, bowel sluggishness, sinus or throat infections, and tobacco and alcohol use.
• Alcohol consumption causes digestive problems which leads to bad breath. In addition, alcohol dries out the mouth, which reduces saliva production. See below for more information.
• Stress is another cause which may not be readily apparent when you are looking for reasons for bad breath. Stress affects the digestive system. An insufficient supply of digestive enzymes may be another cause.
• Other sources of bad breath are in the nose and the nasopharynx, the area above the base of your tongue.
• Dieting may be a cause of bad breath.
• Since dehydration leads to constipation and digestive problems, it is very beneficial to drink 6-8 eight ounce glasses of water a day. Juice, coffee, tea, colas, etc. don’t count!
• Bad breath may emanate from the back of the throat due to sinus or tonsil infections resulting in excess bacteria. If you have sinus or throat problems you may well have some form of allergy.
• Bad breath may also be the sign of potentially more serious medical conditions such as diabetes, duodenal ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux, hypoglycemia, kidney or liver malfunction, and respiratory disorders.
• The foods eaten also are a potential cause of halitosis. Certain foods, such as garlic, onions and certain spices are frequently cited as cause for a person’s bad breath. Both vegetarians and those who eat large quantities of meat may develop bad breath due, in part, to the digestive process. Digestion begins in the mouth. Saliva has enzymes which begin the digestion process, and the type of food eaten can affect the food chemistry of the mouth. Saliva will also pick up odors from food within several hours after it has been eaten. Odors are strongest from carbohydrates – sugars, starches and cellulose, less strong from proteins, and nonexistent from fats. Bacteria in the mouth react with the decaying food and drink residue and can be the source of the foul odor.
• A milk intolerance often is the cause of bad breath. Eliminate all dairy products and see if they are the culprit.
• The stomach also is an area that causes bad breath problems for many people. Poor digestion, constipation, or bowel disorders may create gas which exits the mouth. Not enough hydrochloric acid in the stomach may cause poor digestion, so undigested food will pass into the intestines, putrefy and give off foul gas which rises up and causes bad breath. This problem is quite common with older people whose body does not produce enough hydrochloric acid naturally to aid the digestion process.
Another common digestive problem is due to the imbalance of good and bad bacteria in the gut. Food won’t be digested properly and the result can be acid reflux, yeast overgrowth, or fermentation. One of the byproducts of this problem is bad breath. To correct this imbalance, use a probiotic.
• Diarrhea caused by intestinal parasites is the third leading cause of illness. If you have a number of the following symptoms: gas, diarrhea, chronic constipation, bloating, fatigue, skin rashes, nail biting, mood swings, insomnia, dry skin, brittle hair, hair loss, weight gain, bad breath, and muscle cramping, you should be tested for parasites.
• Dental problems, especially periodontal disease and tooth abscesses, are often the cause of bad breath. These infected areas harbor large quantities of bacteria from the infection and foods eaten which have been allowed to putrefy. Other dental sources are gaps between teeth or crooked teeth, both areas where food can be left to decay. Vitamin deficiencies, especially vitamin C and niacin, are the cause of some gum diseases, so follow the supplementation recommendations listed below. Don’t chew gum or eat candy, as the sugar can leave a residue that promotes rapid bacterial growth. Each person’s body chemistry is different, so what works for somebody may have no effect on somebody else, all due to that person’s chemistry. See our section for more information on dental problems.
Wellness Program
Ridding yourself of bad breath may be a several step process. By following a step-by-step program you may find the cause of bad breath and be able to eliminate the problem. Try this program over several weeks and see what works for you.
Oral Hygiene
Practicing good oral hygiene is always important, so start here. There are three areas of concern in the mouth: the tongue, teeth, and gums. Brushing your teeth, flossing, and cleaning your gums, followed by rinsing thoroughly, will help minimize the problem by removing the buildup of bacteria. The tongue may be loaded with decaying food particles and bacteria that cause bad breath. Brushing or scraping your tongue first thing in the morning and before bed will help eliminate the problem here. By removing the buildup of decayed material, a major breeding ground for bacteria, you will reduce your plaque as well. The plaque leads to periodontal disease, which, in turn, can lead to heart disease. So this oral hygiene step is very important to your overall health!
• Get your teeth cleaned and any cavities filled. Plaque and cavities are a great breeding ground for the bacteria that cause bad breath.
• Another way to improve your oral hygiene is to use a water pik after breakfast. Put an ounce of hydrogen peroxide in the water.
• Try brushing your gums and tongue with some powdered cloves or myrrh.
• Brush your tongue twice a day with a toothbrush soaked in chlorhexidine (an antibacterial agent).
• Swish water around in your mouth after each meal or snack. This will reduce the food particles or drink residue (primarily sugar) that may lead to your bad breath.
Although mouthwashes will solve some of the immediate problems, you must get at the root of the cause. Mouthwashes in general are only a temporary mask for the problem, and their effects last only half an hour or so. Gargle with an antiseptic mouthwash. Try to find a mouthwash that has as little alcohol as possible, as the alcohol will make the problem worse! Also, frequent use of a mouthwash with more than 25% alcohol has been linked to an increased incidence of oral cancer. For a non-alcoholic mouthwash, use a mixture of 50% hydrogen peroxide (3% solution) and 50% water, and swish it around for 30 seconds and expectorate.
Your saliva is important in the fight against bad breath as it suppresses bacteria that cause it. Anything that reduces the saliva output, such as alcohol, antianxiety drugs, smoking, stress, and medications such as decongestants and diuretics, allows the microorganisms to proliferate.
Dietary
Eliminating certain types of foods, such as high-fat foods, meat, sugar, exotic spices, and dairy products is the next step in pin-pointing the cause of bad breath. The types of food you eat may be one of the reasons for your bad breath. Acidic foods, for instance, create an environment for bacterial growth. High-fat and high-protein foods may not digest well and give off gas. Some people have a hard time metabolizing meat and dairy products, with the result being bad breath.
Sugary foods are a problem as the bacteria in the back of the throat feed off the sugar.
Garlic, onions and exotic spices (such as curry) are common sources of problems for many people. As these foods are digested certain compounds are transmitted from the blood through the lungs and exhaled for up to 24 hours.
Cheeses, such as blue, Camembert and Roquefort, fish, especially canned tuna and anchovies, and spicy deli meats are often the culprits.
Beverages such as coffee and tea are other possible sources of bad breath. They are both very acidic. Cut back on these and see what happens.
Eat more fruits, especially kiwi, papaya and pineapple, which contain digestive enzymes. Vegetables are very important, too, especially leafy green ones.
Supplements
Vitamin B A deficiency of B vitamins may be the cause of your bad breath, so try taking 50 mg of niacinimide with each meal, plus a high potency B complex tablet and 50 mg of B6 once a day.
Vitamin C in divided daily doses of 1,000 to 6,000 mg will help rid the body of excess mucus and toxins that may be the cause of bad breath.
Zinc A deficiency in zinc may be another cause; take 30 to 60 mg per day. Don’t take more than 15 mg. of zinc for more than a week or ten days without medical supervision as high levels of zinc can interfere with the absorption of copper.
Digestive system
Another step to take is to improve your whole digestive system. By changing your digestion you may well eliminate the cause of your bad breath. A high-fiber diet emphasizing whole grains and fruits and vegetables is essential for optimum digestion. Stay away from high-fat foods. Eating yogurt or acidophilus will help balance your stomach by adding beneficial bacteria which will improve digestion.
There may be three causes of improper functioning of your digestive system.
• First, your system may be lacking in enzymes necessary for proper digestion. This is especially prevalent in older people. To remedy this problem take 2-4 tablets of digestive enzymes with each meal.
• An imbalance of good and bad bacteria in your gut, as mentioned above. Take a probiotic supplement that contains good bacteria like acidophilus and bifidus.
• A second problem may be the lack of enough hydrochloric acid, the production of which declines with age. To remedy this, take a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar before each meal. Another way to get the necessary hydrochloric acid is to take 10 grains of betaine or pepsin tablets before each meal to aid digestion.
Detoxification of your bowels is another important step to take as many health problems are caused by poor bowel functions. For instance, constipation may be the cause of your bad breath. Putrefied food may be stuck in your intestines and give off noxious gas. Many people who are constipated don’t drink enough water. For optimum health, drink eight 8 ounce glasses of water a day.
Another important thing to do is eat plenty of fiber. Eating several servings of yogurt with live cultures will help regain a balanced intestinal flora and get the bowel to function the way it should. This will help the constipation problem and get your intestines working properly. Or, you may not realize specifically that you have a bowel problem, so it is important to cleanse the bowel to eliminate this as a possible source. If you have a tendency to over eat your stomach’s digestive enzymes may not be able to complete the digestion process and gas may be emanating from the intestines.
In some cases a deficiency of vitamin B6 is the cause. Since B6 is not plentiful in foods, this deficiency occurs frequently.
Remedies
Folk
Apple cider vinegar Take a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar just before each meal. You may want to take it in a glass of water. This will aid your digestion.
Baking soda Brushing your teeth with baking soda (or a paste made with hydrogen peroxide) will help reduce the acidity in your mouth and make a less-friendly environment for the bacteria to grow.
Charcoal Take 5 gm. daily of activated charcoal to cleanse the stomach and intestines. Charcoal absorbs toxins and is a natural purifier.
Hydrogen peroxide The sinuses can become infected and cause bad breath. If this is your problem, the best treatment is using hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Use the drugstore variety, which is three percent, dilute it 50% with water and put five to ten drops in each nostril and sniff vigorously. It may burn a little. Do this twice daily and see if it helps. If it doesn’t, your sinuses are not the problem.
Water, salt Gargling with salt water will help clean out bacteria, mucus and food particles on your tonsils or the back of your throat that may be causing your bad breath.
Herbal
Alfalfa tablets may help eliminate bad breath.
Anise Chew anise, cardamom, dill or fennel seeds to help mask odors. Anise, the licorice-flavored seed, kills the bacteria that cause odor.
Chlorophyll Try liquid or chlorophyll tablets which you can buy at your pharmacy. Chlorophyll has a deodorizing effect and is used in a number of products for that purpose.
Cloves Cloves are a powerful antiseptic. Make a tea by putting 3 whole or 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves in 2 cups of hot water, and steep for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour through a fine strainer and use as a mouthwash or gargle twice a day.
Fennel Fennel is another useful herb and can be used in several ways. Slowly chew the leaves and allow the saliva to build up in your mouth. Or, mix the contents of a fennel capsule with baking soda, make into a paste, and brush your teeth, gums and tongue with it. The fluid extract of fennel can be rubbed on your gums and tongue.
Filberts Chew some filberts (hazelnuts) slowly as they will absorb the bad breath.
Herbs Chewing mint, parsley, basil, rosemary, thyme and wintergreen will help mitigate bad breath.
Lemon Suck a lemon wedge sprinkled with salt to stop onion or garlic breath.
Myrrh Dissolving a pea-sized piece of myrrh in your mouth before bed or sucking a small piece of cinnamon bark during the day may help relieve the problem.
• It can be made into a tea. To make the tea add 2 sprigs of coarsely chopped parsley, 3 whole spice cloves, 1 teaspoon of powdered myrrh, and 1/4 teaspoon powdered goldenseal to 1 pint of boiling water. Steep. Stir occasionally while cooling, then strain and use as a mouthwash.
Parsley & mint Chewing parsley or mint leaves has been a remedy used for thousands of years. These herbs are especially good if garlic and onions are the source of your bad breath. Parsley is very high in chlorophyll. Chew a few parsley sprigs dipped in vinegar for immediate relief. If you swallow the leaves after chewing them they will be digested and continue to provide breath freshness for quite a while. These plants seem to reduce the production of intestinal gas by promoting better digestion.
• Natural gum made with spearmint or peppermint essential oils will also be helpful. These oils kill odor- causing bacteria, and the chewing action stimulates the production of saliva which helps combat bad breath.
Sage Chew sage. It contains essential oils with antibacterial properties that help neutralize one of the causes of bad breath.
Spirulina is a very good source of chlorophyll and can be purchased either in capsule or loose form. Start with 500 mg three times a day.
Tea Another tea may be made by steeping 2 sprigs of coarsely chopped parsley, 3 whole cloves, 1 teaspoon of powdered myrrh and 1/4 teaspoon powdered goldenseal in 1 pint of boiling water. Stir occasionally while cooling, strain, and use as a mouthwash. Can also be used for a sore throat. Alfalfa is rich in chlorophyll. Drink alfalfa tea several times a day to keep your breath fresh. To make the tea, put two teaspoons of dried leaves in a cup of boiling water and steep for 10-20 minutes. You may also find alfalfa tablets at an herb or health food store.
• Peppermint or fenugreek are other good herbs to use in a tea to sooth the stomach. They are exhaled through the lungs and help sweeten the breath.
Tea tree oil Tea tree oil, derived from the leaves of the native Australian Melaleuca alternifolia tree, contain antiseptic compounds that make it a powerful disinfectant. Try using a toothpaste containing tea tree oil, or put a few drops of tea tree oil on your toothbrush alone, or with your regular toothpaste. It has a strong aromatic flavor.

What natural remedies can I use for my cat’s persistent bad breath?
He is 6 years old and he has had bad breath his whole life.
I have tried tooth paste. He loves it. Also give him treats. The vet never mentioned a problem at check ups. He is really bad at the vet’s though hissing and terrified so she is probably in a hurry to get him out of there. Will take him in for a check up. Thanks.
Forget natural remedies; take him to a vet. Chronic bad breath could be an indication of dental or stomach problems!
How to remove bad breath, gas trouble and constipation using natural remedies?
HI [Male -24] i brush my teeth regularly once in a day.However, I clean my tongue twice a day. If I do it in the morning by afternoon 1 PM my mouth gives a bad breath especially bad matter on tongue increases and my tongue becomes whitish growing to the end of the day. I feel very disgusted as i clean my tongue at that time but it continues to be same in the evening. Also, i have piles and heavy constipation and gas problems. What is the diet to be taken and as of now I am suffering from Bone TB ( for the last 10 months on bed rest causing obesity 81 kg currently ) and taking AKT4 treatment along with Lung TB. Now that the infection is 70% under control I feel a bit happy at the revival. However, stomach ache and bad breath are troubling me a lot. Please help me to cope with the problem. Thank you very much for your help
Try ayurvedic combo of three called Triphala powder. Take one teaspoonful with one teaspoonful
of organic honey every night. If there is still difficulty in proper evacuation then increase the dosage
to two teaspoonful along with two teaspoonful of honey. Once your bowel movement is regularised
revert back to one teaspoonful. About bad breath, no matter whether you brush, or floss, or gargle
your teeth and even scrub your tongue twice a day it is not going to work unless you also clean
the roof of your mouth above the tongue properly. Also consume two pinch of bishops seed
(ajwain seed) preferably in a beetle leaf which will regulate all your digestive as well as gastric
problem. Good luck and God bless. Cheers! ;o)
Men are notoriously hard to buy presents for, no matter how creative you are in everyday life. It is all too easy to draw a blank when thinking about what your husband, brother, granddad or uncle might like for Christmas. Conventional ‘masculine gifts’ proliferate from September onwards in many shops, promoting aftershave, novelty gifts and power tools as ‘must have’ items.
If you aren’t sure what to give but want a cool present that’s sure to please then you can’t go wrong with Designer Sunglasses. Ray Ban, Oakley, Marc Jacobs, Armani, the list is endless but whichever you pick you will be guaranteed a massive hug this Christmas from your boyfriend!
If your wife or girlfriend is expecting a newborn baby when she is going to celebrating Christmas soon, you need to think what kind of Christmas presents you are able to give her. She is in her special condition now and waiting for her special thing for her life, so you should purchase her a special present.
Shopping for gifts throughout the year will help you budget properly We all know Christmas can be a big drain on our bank accounts. By buying stuff throughout the year, the expense gets spread more evenly, making it easier to budget. No longer will you stand in the mall in December, wishing you hadn’t splurged on that new DVD-player in October so you wouldn’t have to max out your credit cards now.
A second popular gift idea is with pampering gifts. These are gift ideas like spa treatments, gift baskets, and chocolate. The aim here is to make her feel good and all these types of gifts can work well in doing just that. Another gift idea that can work well here is a vacation or a cruise; however, this may be beyond your budget. Regardless, top companies in this are include WaySpa® and zChocolat®, among others.
One woman who had a great surprise still talks about it years later. Gayle and Mike were married for about eight years when this Christmas surprise happened. Each year they visited his mother and family in a neighboring city. Mike said to Gayle, I just don’t think our old clunker of a car is going to make it to Mom’s this year.
Do some research on your recipient. This is what makes the gift thoughtful. Your girlfriend will love you for paying attention to what she’s been lacking or your boss will appreciate how thoughtful and observant you’ve been. If you’re buying them software, find out what hardware they have so it can work and they won’t be troubled to find something new just so they can use your present.
Every woman’s a princess in her own way. And yours certainly deserves her own. This item measures 0.363 inches long and 0.547 inches wide. From Rembrandt Charms, this enchanting piece is hand-polished to a pristine brilliance of a High Polish finish. This comes with an easy-to-handle and durable heavy-duty jump ring, which makes it a breeze when attaching on another accessory.

What do you do if your wife or girlfriend has bad breath?
Listerine in the Medicine cabinet, and Listerine tabs in her purse and in the nightstand! This sounds stupid, but maybe she is not brushing her teeth often enough or correctly. If this is an everyday kind of a thing then you need to talk with her because I sure that her breath is something that her coworkers have to deal with and it is your place as her spouse to point out these kinds of things… most of us want to know if we have something in our teeth, or our clothes don’t fit anymore, or if our fly is down, or if we have something in our nostril that needs to be taken care of… same deal with the bad breath.
I worked at an office once with a guy that had horrendous B.O. and one day someone not so subtly placed a big can of Right Guard on his chair… he figured it out but I am sure it embarrassed him. The situation with your wife’s breath is something that should come from you so that she is not embarrassed by someone too.
I Am A Jerk But I Want My Girlfriend Back
If you have been a jerk and have been treating your ex girlfriend very badly which finally lead to the breakup, then you deserve it. If you still think that “i want my girlfriend back”, then I do not think that you deserve another chance. However, if you know that you are the real source of problem, then you should first figure out what is the problem with you and resolve it first before you can win back her heart.
Below are some tips that you can follow if you know that you are the real problem and insisting “i want my girlfriend back”.
Women Should Be Respected
You should first change your attitude and treat women like human and not your property. Only if you treat everyone with respect, including your girlfriend of course, then only you might have the chance to win her back. You need to be treating people well and give the respect they deserve before people can respect you.
Give Proper Treatment To Your Woman
Treat your girlfriend well. Behave like a gentleman, but not pretending, as faking it will never be good as your girlfriend can sense it very easily. You should treat her like a princess and if you are able to do this sincerely, the possibility of “i want my girlfriend back” will be higher.
Be Honest And Let Her Know You Were A Real Jerk
There is nothing to be embarrassed about if you really still love her and want her back. After all, you have started everything for ruining the relationship for being a jerk, so you need to be sincere and admit to her that you are a real pain in the ass previously and are willing to change.
Be Considerate
If your girlfriend wants some space and need some time to think about the relationship, give her the space and the time to cool down. Respect her decision and not be a jerk once again by pushing her. This way, she has some space to breathe. Behaving this way instead like a jerk is good because such behavior may change your girlfriend’s attitude towards you and hence the chances of “i want my girlfriend back” will be higher.
Do Not Just Talk, Show Some Actions
Don’t just say that you will change. Show her with actions. Prove it to her that you have all the things she wants to get back together again. If you are even able to convince her friends that you have really changed, then your chances of getting back together again will be higher. Actions tell everything whether you really changed.
How To Reconcile With Your Ex-Girlfriend – Get Her To Want You Back
The hardest part of going through a breakup with your girlfriend is when you get the feeling that you want to be back with her. If you want to reconcile with your ex-girlfriend, then you probably are going through a lot of emotions right now. Sometimes she’s all you can think about and then other times, you just don’t know. Add in to the mix that you know that a lot of guys have a hard time getting back with their ex-girlfriend and it’s easy to see why you can feel confused.
Yet, there are MANY examples of men that do reconcile with their ex-girlfriend and you CAN be one of those guys. That can be YOUR story. The trick to making this happen is, you have to figure out how to make her feel the same way. You have to get her want you back.
What can you do to make your ex-girlfriend want you back?
Here are a few tips to try that will help you to reconcile with your ex-girlfriend:
1. Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
You’ve heard that saying before, right? I think that we all have. And it’s true. One of the mistakes that a lot of men will make when they feel like they want to get their ex-girlfriend back, is, they will try and pursue her TOO hard. They will suddenly be around her every chance that they can get. It seems like this will work, yet, it almost NEVER does. She will feel like you are not giving her any breathing room and she will pull back from you. You have to make her miss you in order for her to want to be back with you. So, be absent from her for a while.
2. Jealousy can be a good thing.
Most of the time, we all know that jealousy is a bad thing. Yet, there are times when a little jealousy can actually be good for you. If your ex-girlfriend sees that you are able to attract other women and that you can move on, she will naturally feel a bit jealous. This is a good sign that there are still feelings there and that she does still have a connection to you. So, don’t be afraid to give other women a try when you have broken up with your ex-girlfriend.
3. Know that you CAN get her back.
You have to remain confident in yourself when you want your girlfriend back. If you lose that confidence, then you are going to have a hard time making her want you back. You have to assume that she is going to test you in some way. That is to be expected. You have to pass that test by remaining confident that you will make your ex-girlfriend want you back. It can and will happen.

Can My Puppy Or Dog Eat Fruits And Nuts?
Our pet puppies and dogs like to chew and eat raw or cooked carrots and broccoli. But, there is always a “BUT”. Be careful of tomatoes and raw potatoes as these vegetables will cause tremors, digestive ailments, and irregular heart beats.
Many of us have become interested in home remedies for cats and dogs to hopefully prevent these accidents from happening or to correct the ailment after the accident.
If you are like me, I love French fries and potato chips. Sorry, not good for our four-legged friends. Both of these vegetables have been cooked in fats and sprinkled with salt. Both the oil and the salt are hazardous to our dogs.
You would think that corn on the cob would be a fun food as it would be similar to chewing on a bone; however, this vegetable is a poor choice. The cob has a tendancy to lodge itself in the gut and will need surgical removal.
Mushrooms are great on pizza, stuffed with crab meat, or sauteed in butter and wine, but all mushrooms are poisonous to our canines.
I have seen my uncle give his poodle sliced raw onions and there was no reaction, however, onions, leeks, chives, and garlic can cause diarrhea and vomiting. Through the years I have heard garlic recommended for retarding fleas. You will need to rethink this recommendation if you have been considering it.
Grapes and raisins will cause tremors, stomach aches, lameness, kidney failure and death. We as human beings enjoy the juiciness of a fresh grape and the sweetness of raisins. And often times we are guilty of giving a small piece to our pet, however, check cookie ingredients. It may contain raisins. Sugar is also bad for both puppies and dogs.
Walnut and macadamia nuts are poisonous or will cause muscle tremors, panting, paralysis, swollen limbs and weakness. Other nuts seem to be okay, but use discretion. My dog will eat peanut butter, but not peanuts. Unfortunately he does not speak English so he is not able to tell me the difference. He loves cashew nuts.
Avocado pits, fruit seeds, and popcorn kernels produce cyanide which is lethal. Or your pet will have breathing problems, fluid in chest cavity, abdomen or heart problems, or pancreatitis.
When I found this information I could not imagine a dog eating fruit seeds or corn kernels, unless it is because they see us eating our fruit and popcorn and they want what their masters are eating. Or they have rummaged through the garbage and trash and ate these seeds mistakenly because the seeds were clinging to a piece of meat.
For food allergy reasons or splintered bones and other foreign objects keep your pet away from garbage and trash cans.

is there a home remedy for bad breath from a dog ?
my x-breed dog is 11 year old and his breath is absolutely lifting….is there any tricks available without a visit to the vet….thanks in advance
I have found that doggy breath has gone since I swapped my dogs onto (a) Burns dog food and (b) raw food and bones. I am not going completely overboard on the BARF (look it up!) thing, but a more natural diet seems to have dealt with their breath issues, IYKWIM.
Also, could be something stuck in his teeth and rotting, have a look.

what can i do for my dogs bad breath at home?
My dog has the worst breath what can I do to help it get better with home remedies?
Well, you need to find out what is causing it first. There are diseases that can cause bad breath that need vet treatment, it could also be dental disease, like an abscessed tooth, that would also require vet attention. Make sure you rule out medical reasons first. If its given the all clear from your vet, the folllowing could help:
1. A better quality food. If your dog food has corn, wheat, soy, byproducts, or meat and bone meal, try a better quality food. This it a good site, take a look at the 5 and 6 star foods and give one of those a try: http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com/dog_food_reviews/
2. Raw meaty bones. They’re cheap, get them from any local butcher. Beef knuckle bones and marrow bones are good, make sure they still have meat clinging to them. Tearing the meat and connective tissue from the bone will clean between and around their teeth. Keep frozen until you are ready to use them. I give mine a raw bone once a week. Don’t use cooked bones, they won’t get any of the benefits, and they can splinter. I have heard of people using raw chicken necks the same way with great results as well.
3. Safe chewing items. These include Bully Sticks, Flossies, and beef tendons which are fibrous and not prone to breaking off in chunks. No rawhides, and no Greenies, these can break off in big pieces, causing your dog to choke, or cause intestinal obstructions, plus they really don’t do a good job of cleaning their teeth anyway. I personally know people who have had dogs die after choking on a piece of rawhide.

how do you get rid of bad breath that seems to come from the stomach has effcted me my whole life morningworse
Persistent bad breath is also known as Halitosis. It is usually a symptom of an underlying problem. It does not come from the stomach.
Anaerobic bacteria are the odor causing kind of bacteria and they can not live in the presence of oxygen. As your oxygen levels decrease, the anaerobic bacteria increase.
Saliva is used as an irrigation system for the mouth. It washes away the debris and bacteria in the mouth and from the tongue. When the flow of saliva is decreased or the growth of anaerobic bacteria is stimulated, this will cause bad breath.
the link is to the site I got this from… this is just the first little part.. there is much more! Read it and it should help you! Good luck!
HELP PLEASEE, What foods WONT give me bad breath!!!!!?
Ok i suffer from bad breath quite badly and all over the internet i see posts about what foods to avoid if you suffer bad breath, such as eggs, garlic, spicy foods. But nowhere can i find what foods i should be eating, i know this wont stop my bad breath but i am literally scared of eating most foods worried they will enhance my bad breath. So can anyone tell me what foods i am ok eating, iknow the obvious like fruit & veg, but i need things i can make a meal out of, rather than just single ingredients like parsley etc..
I don’t know about which foods promote nice breath, but I do know that you need to make sure that you are well hydrated. Drink lots of water and not sugary drinks. If you’re worried about your breath, just brush after you eat, and don’t neglect flossing. Listerine can help a great deal, but make sure you’re not using a mouthwash with a lot of sugar in it, that promotes your mouth to dry out and that’s a cause of halitosis.
Also, have you been to the dentist or doctor to check if your bad breath is a symptom of some larger problem?
Your breath may not be as bad as you think it is, it’s one of those things that lots of people are very worried about.
Bad breath. I have a friend that has bad breath.?
I have a friend that has bad breath.No matter what she does it just won’t go away!!She has all the dentist tools and it seems to just get worse. She has this 70 dollar electric tooth brush she brushes with for 2 mins,then uses dental floss,then to the tongue scraper she ordered online and then the mouth wash.And she’s tried all different kinds of mouthwash. Even hydrogen peroxide for mouthwash and water with it. Not a joke-Her friends think someone passes gas in the room and they ask her if she did and she’s gets embarrassed, but her breath!! At her job employees and customers cover their nose when she talks to them. So she just puts her head down and tries to talk. She avoids onions and spicy foods. I really tried to help her and she’s had her teeth cleaned multiple times. Please only serious answers. Thank you.
After all that it’s patently obvious that the trouble is not in her mouth and I suggest she consults a doctor – and least of all takes any advice given by the obvious spam merchant
There is definitely a better option to remove tonsil stones without gagging and surgery. It is none other than the natural method or home remedy. Do you know what other options are and what causes these stones? We will see more into it.
Tonsil stones are gland like structures in the back of your throat. They are meant to trap bacteria and viruses and help to fight infection. However, the tonsils also tend to collect small bits of food and mucous too. When these materials become lodged on the flaps of the tonsils, they can eventually harden and compact forming tonsil stones.
Many small tonsil stones do not cause any noticeable symptoms. Even when they are large, some tonsil stones are only discovered on X-rays or CAT scans.
The symptoms can be the following. Bad breath may be an early signal of the presence of tonsil stones. Other symptoms are sore throat, difficulty swallowing. There are simple home remedies that can help you get rid of the problem.
1. Gargling is effective technique which will help you to get rid of tonsil stone.
2. You must maintain good oral hygiene. It is important to clean your teeth and tongue regularly.
3. Gargling with water mixed with salt can be a good remedy. In fact, you can do this as often as you like until the chunks work their way out. In serious cases, a tonsillectomy is prescribed to those having larger issues and gargling is not enough to get rid of them.

Bad breath cure for cats?
Is there a product like “Breath Assure” for cats or some other bad breath cure? He is a 4 year old tabby/Maine coon mix who is neutured and eats Iams dry food and Fancy Feast.
Thanks.
I noticed one of our cat’s breath was getting worse and worse, we took her to her yearly appointment and they told us the bad breath was from tartar and gingivitis. She had her teeth scaled (plaque removed) from her back teeth, and now she’s fine. We have her on a food that is bigger shaped kibble to help keep her teeth clean. See if you can have a look at those very back teeth, if they are yellowed and the gum is really red around the teeth instead of pale pink, it could be the same thing. Good luck!
Brushing Your Cat’s Teeth
You have to know that even your pet needs dental care. Without it your pet can get ill. If you consider that brushing your cat teeth is too hard you could ask for a veterinary’s advice. Else, you can start doing it. After all it is not too hard and you can get used to it.
You have to take your cat to a yearly dental check and even a dental cleaning from time to time.
Until the dental cleaning you have to check your cat’s teeth periodically. If you do it every day your cat will get used to teeth brushing faster. In this way you will protect your cat from getting a dental infection.
Start cleaning your cat’s teeth and ums when it is at an early age. This way your cat will get use to is faster. You can also rub her teeth and gums with gauze wrapped around your finger. Later you can start to use special toothpaste and toothbrush. However, you should never use regular toothpaste because you will only damage her gums.
Massage your cat’s gums regularly. Cats don’t usually get cavities instead they get gum illness which leads to bad breath and in the end to the loss of teeth.
If your cat losses her appetite than you should know that gum illness could be the cause. Same like humans, cats lose their appetite if they have a dental infection.
Unexpectedly, cats that live indoors have a bigger chance to get a dental infection than those who mostly live outside. This is because the cats that live outside can eat grass which is a natural dental floss. Another explanation is that indoor cats can’t eat small animals therefore they don’t eat bones that are a very powerful tooth cleaner.
Try to include some dry food in your cat’s diet. It will prove very helpful for her teeth and gums.
To conclude:
• It is always better to prevent a disease than to cure it. Therefore massage your cat’s gums periodically.
• Don’t brush your cat’s teeth with human toothpaste. You can get cat toothpaste from a pet shop.
• Always ask advices from a vet concerning your cat’s dental health.
