Suggest Remedy For Bad Breath

I am at the end of my rope. I have tried everything in an effort to cure my bad breath and nothing, I mean NOTHING works. My girlfriend just left me because of this problem. I have tried everything on the market. Every remedy offered, from the inexpensive to the very costly. I also tried natural remedies such as grapefruit seed extract, including the drops, nasal spray, mouth spray and the tablets. I have tried the colostrum, capsules as well as the powdered form, I also tried the liquid chlorophyll which did nothing but turn my tongue and teeth green. It has been four months and there has been no change. People can smell my breath from several feet away. I Get regular dental cleanings and I brush five times a day and my teeth appear white and clean my I even brush my tongue and it appears pink but my breath still stinks. furthermore, what makes it even worst is the fact that I can not smell it. I feel like CRAWLIN INTO A BOX and hiding everyday; how does one live the rest of their life this way. I FEEL LIKE A leper that has been exiled from society because of my breath. Someone please help me!!!! I will do anything. I am successful, educated, I own my home but, at the end of the day I have absolutely no friends. After surviving eight hours of workday {which by the way is how I feel from day to day} I have to muster the strength to get through the day.The the whispers, laughs and sly comments are all most unbearable. On top of all of this I have to come home to an empty house. My breath controls my life. To make matters even worst I work in the educational field so I have to speak regularly. What do I do??

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
It is very sad to listen to your depressing condition, nothing to worry, be bold.
It can be solved, no need to get depressed for halitosis.
The bad breath could be because of the deposits over the teeth causing gum infection. Or it can be because of the pus discharge secondary to gum or tooth infection or any respiratory tract infection like sinusitis or gastrointestinal disorders. Consult a oral physician and get yourself examined to rule out these conditions.
if it is gum infection get the teeth cleaned once and maintain oral hygiene after that. You can use mouth wash.
if it is tooth infection get the tooth restored.
If it is respiratory tract infection consult a pulmonologost and gastro enterologist if it is a gastrointestinal disorder.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
