I have tried all types of mouth wash, (without alcohol) but still ooze out air when talking. Most times it smells and I am not able to cope with this. Please advice if there is any medication that can help me.

There are many reasons for bad breath, but here are a few tips you can try and I must stress, anyone you try, you have to be diligent with or nothing will work:


1.
Determine what could be causing the mouth odor by analyzing the foods that are consumed. Strong vegetables like garlic and onions can contribute to mouth odor. Potent foods like these are absorbed into the body and released into the blood stream and out of the skin's pores. Also, certain medications taken internally can cause gastric reactions that can also contribute to mouth odors.
2.
Schedule an appointment with a physician for a full body checkup to determine if the mouth odor is due to an illness in the body or even due to an infection within the body.
3.
Brush teeth daily after each meal and after consuming sugary or strong foods. Brushing will remove lingering odors and stains off the teeth and will help improve the breath.
4.
Floss teeth after each meal to remove any lingering food particles that can also contribute to mouth odor.
5.
Brush the tongue during every session that you brush teeth as well. This will remove any bacteria that possibly lingers on the tongue after meals.
6.
Consume raw foods like apples and celery. The acids in these foods help to remove plaque and mouth bacteria. Their texture also helps to reduce teeth plaque.
