Bad breath
I have bad breath for last few months. I did so many things including switching my tooth paste (himalaya herbal) , started using mouth wash (colgate plax) , brushing twice a day. I stopped eating egg and other non veg items. I drink lemon juice in empty stomach. Still my bad breath doesn't goes away. What should i do?

Hi Dear,
As per a periodontist (gum specialist) my opinion wud be... You need a deep scaling. Usually pockets and deposits over teeth cause bad breathe.
Which would be taken care by a simple deep Scaling.
Next Steps
Visit a nearby Periodontist
Health Tips

Mere tooth brushing does not help you to get rid of the bad breath but a proper technique of tooth brushing twice a day plays a important role in maintainance of oral hygeine. So first visit a dentist ..he will arrive at a diagnosis and bad breath may be due to multiple problems like deposits on the teeth , infection in the gums , decayed tooth etc ....
Next Steps
visit a dentist for proper diagnosis and treatment
