Hello everyone. I came here because I really have nowhere else to turn to. I've been searching the internet constantly for something to help my offensive breath. I've tried TheraBreath, which was "supposed" to help my problem, but of course, didn't. I have a "cheesy" breath smell, which I've heard is caused by Isovaleric acid. Since I'm only 18, I'm afraid to ask my parents to send me to a specialist because to be quite honest, I'm embarassed. However, I haven't gotten any tests done to prove WHY I have this problem. I told my dentist about it and he told me to scrape the back of my tongue with a spoon. Thanks, Doc. If only he knew I have an awful gag reflex and can't reach back there without having to practically vomit. I take very good care of my teeth, and have been suffering from this problem since I was 10. Please, any advice? Or anybody with a similar problem who has found relief? It's ruining my life.
