I am not frequent but I always brush my teeth and floss once a day with fluoride coated floss. But lately I've been tasting/smelling a gingivitis like smell conning from my throat and back of the mouth area. It gets stronger when I burp. I'm starting to get worried it's been three days and it's not going away. >.< help please

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. You are regular in brushing the teeth, and floss, but the reason of the bad smell might be some thing else. The reasons might be periodontitis, infection in the intestines, indigestion, infection in the nose etc. I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment. Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts and protein rich foods.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.
