What Is The Treatment For Bad Odor From The Mouth?

I have been having this thing ever since i was dating my ex the first time we kissed i smelled something bad.Then After that whenever we kissed i kept on sensing it.But i never had this bad smell with the boy friend i had.And now i have it Eventhough i clean my teeth & wash my mouth i can smell it.One thing i know for sure is it isn't my teeth.Rather when my lips get wet by my own salaiva that is when i smell it.Please advise me i am desperate and i have started losing confidence.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns....

As per your complain bad smell in mouth seems to be due to a number of causes like Poor oral hygiene, oral and throat infection, upper respiratory infections, sinusitis, acid reflux, diabetes etc..
Kissing does not seems to be apparent cause..
In case if the saliva stands for long over the lips bacterial action can lead to bad smell and you should clean your lips with water or wet tissue and do not expose it to saliva..
The other thing that I would like to tell you is that for bad smell you should maintain a good oral hygiene, gargle with flavoured antiseptic mouthwash, chew flavoured sugarfree chewing gum..
Drink plenty of water..
Limit the intake of high flavoured foods like onion and garlic..
In case of no improvement consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
