Simple Common Halitosis....

Hi L.,
Love's advice is right on, and also I wanted to add that her tonsils might be to blame if the dental hygiene alone doesn't resolve the issue. I heard from a friend of mine that she noticed particularly bad breath with her son, and not long after that she had to take him to the doctor for a bad sore throat - turned out that his tonsils were very infected. They had the tonsils removed and both the sore throats and the bad breath went away!
Let us know what happens...

Your message makes me laugh! My daughter had the same issue. When the bad breath is an issue for her she drinks lemon water and eats more fruits and vegetables. The lemons work to neutralize acidity and fruits and vegetables are alkaline. We want our bodies in an alkaline state. Your daughter could have an acidic system... I hope it works for you!

Hi L.,
First of all, are you brushing her teeth after she does? A 2 1/2 yr old is unable to correctly brush well enough to remove all plaque and debris. You ideally want to brush for 2 mins 3 times daily. Remember to brush the tongue as that is where alot of the bad breath is coming from. Also buy the flossers and floss between her teeth each night. Make sure she is also drinking plenty of water. My daughter (3 yrs old) will have the "dragon's breath" after a day with her grandma. I don't think my mom brushes Paige's teeth very well. If you have any other dental related questions email. Check out my profile to see my experience in this area.
Sincerely,
L.

try cholorphyll. It comes in both liquid and capsules. It will make everything green if you choose to do it in liquid form but why not read Green Eggs and Ham and turn the mixing of cholorphyll in to a game. However, you can't cook with it, but you could make a smoothie or mix in it to some grape juice or other dark juice that she likes. Works like a charm! I dated a guy who had that issue and it got so bad I wouldn't kiss him. I put him on it and within two days he was "normal" (well, as close to normal as possible!)

My daughter had really bad breath her whole life no matter how much she gargled or brushed (and her brothers did not have this problem) and one day, when she was about 12, I discovered she had tonsil stones, which I had never heard of. In her case she has a slit in her tonsils that fills up with this white, gooey, worst-smelling stuff imaginable. I learned to squeeze it out with a q-tip. Check out her tonsils, if you see any white stuff attached or slits in her tonsils then that is definitely the culprit. For the tonsil stones that are attached on top of the tonsils, a waterpick works.
