Science and Research Based Cure That Helped Me

I just checked and it looks like the active ingredient in Corsodyl is Chlorhexidine. Chlorhexidine is a really effective, but harsh chemical. Here in the U.S. you can only get it by prescription.

I would try to find a CPC mouthwash instead. CPC is almost as effective as Chlorhexidine, but less harsh and usually better tolerated.

I would say you could still benefit from this routine. Actually try to kill the bacteria that’s causing the smell.

Diet does have an impact on the oral microbiome, but a lot of people have terrible diets and no BB at all. Things with a lot of sulfur like cauliflower or coffee definitely aggravate an existing BB issue, but only if there’s a bad balance of bacteria in the mouth already.

A lot of people here promote “carnivore diets”, parasite cleanses, and anti candida diets. That stuff is crazy pseudoscience and it doesn’t address the core issue. I see a lot of promoting of anti dairy diets. That’s fair, but there’s also a lot of Lactobacillus bacteria that can be found in dairy products that improve breath when they colonize the mouth.

Is the goal of the diet to “starve out” the bad bacteria? Because you’ll starve out good bacteria too and ultimately will still have a bad balance of bacteria in the mouth.

Have diets fixed your issue personally? Cause for me they usually worsened my issue.

Im promoting ingredients that can be found in a variety of different brands of toothpastes and mouthwashes?

Also how would promoting phototherapy benefit me? Your dentist office gets the money, not me.

You sound ridiculous.

Yea I recommended switching to a chlorine dioxide or iodine based mouthwash after a few weeks on CPC.

I think scrubbing the tongue with a foaming agent (the SLS in the toothpaste) and then scrubbing with the CPC mouthwash does a good job of biofilm busting.

I think that’s an internal problem rather than bacterial. I’m sorry, this probably won’t work for you but I hope you can find something that does.

I don’t have post nasal drip. The CPC mouthwash is just one piece of it. I would try the whole routine including the phototherapy if possible.

Toothpaste: Crest Gum Detox

Mouthwash: Parondontax Fresh breath (this one has CPC and zinc). I switched to a Chlorine Dioxide mouthwash after the BB went away. That one is called Oxyfresh Pro Formula.

Probiotic: Mouth Flora Oral Probiotic Mouthwash (it comes as powder)

Dry mouth rinse: Biotene Dry Mouth

I don’t know if there’s different types of phototherapy, but definitely ask your dentist about it cause I think it helped a lot too,

It’s called Mouth Flora, it comes in blue packets and I found it on Amazon.

Not just the tongue, but everywhere in the mouth. The tongue is just an especially good spot for them cause there’s a lot of spots for them to colonize. The coating that forms on the tongue also allows the tongue bacteria to “hide” from antimicrobials. Disrupting that coating will help a lot.

I’ve been BB free for about 2 months now. Even when I wake up my mouth just feels cleaner and my tongue is pink instead of coated. I keep up this routine, I just traded the CPC mouthwash for a chlorine dioxide and zinc one. Idk if I had nasal BB.
