Bad breath / yellow tongue?!
Question: ive had bad breath for 3 yrs but usually mask it with mints because i dont know what else to do. i mentioned it to the dentist last time i went but she laughed it off and said i don't, but i always brush my teeth before i go to the dentist (as does everyone!!). ANYWAY i brush my teeth 3 times a day, use mints a lot, use mouthwash, brush my tongue but nothing helps. i have a yellowish coating at the back of my tongue that wont come off. i was wondering if this could contribute to it. i dont have any fillings or anything.thanks for all ur help.

Yea..Masking it with candy or mint makes it even worse because all of that goes on to the surface of your tongue.
I strongly advise you to scrape off you toungue and floss and use mouth scope if you need to.
go see a hygienist bro. seriously. you can get a free consul just about anywhere
use a tongue scraper
you can buy it at any store
in the toothbrush toothpaste aisle
it scrapes the bad smelling particles on your tongue
As long as your are washing your teeth it is fixable.
Get yourself a tong scrapper at your local Eckers, Walgreens, and such.
Also find and internal bad bread medicine that it is sold in pharmacies...It should help a lot...
Use Altoids...they are stronger than anything else
Good luck
