Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 28- years-old female who suffers from bad breath. I got my teeth cleaned I thought the problem was with them, and they recommend that I must use something to clean my stomach. I did take many medications with no luck and some people are saying maybe the problem is in the tonsils. Currently taking Xianghilling. I need a doctor's advice. Kindly suggest.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

If you are regularly cleaning your teeth twice with flavored toothpaste and still there is halitosis, you do not have any dental-related problems. I suggest you not keep a large time gap between two meals that is the most found cause for halitosis. If you have an isolated job profession make sure you take mouth freshener after every three hours. I suggest you dental scaling, mouth freshener, timely meals, and gastric examination. In case you have crowded teeth and cavities that may also be the cause of bad breath. I hope I have cleared all your doubts.

Thank you.
