how do you get rid of bad breath if you still have it after you brush your teeth?
i have a retainer that i have to wear to bed. and i get up and it traps all of the bacteria in my mouth so i have extremely bad breath when i wake up. then I eat breakfast and brush my teeth. but i still have bad breath. what should i do?
Brush then soak your retainer in mouthwash as well as brushing and flossing your teeth. You may need to have your teeth professionally cleaned as the oder may be caused from perio (gum condion) that needs attention. The dental hygienist can help with recommending rinses and tools to help keep the teeth and gums healthy which will help eliminate oders. Breath Rx is a very good mouth wash that can also help.
There are also digestional conditions that can cause bad breath. Address your dental concerns first and if the problem is not resolved see a madical doctor.
Hope this helps.
are you brushing the retainer and also the roof of your mouth thats where bad breath comes from just make sure you do both

Tell your dentist, but in the meantime, try some mouth washes. Maybe just a simple salt rinse (spit it out afterwards) might be the solution. Works for me.

mouth wash! if the mintyness is too strong, water it down. (its what i do.) its probably a better idea to use the mouthwash AFTER eating breakfast. i used to have a retainer, and i washed it with that denture pill things. (u put these denture cleaning tablets in warm water, and when its done dissolving, u let ur retainer soak it in for like 10-20 minutes.) i did that every few days. u can get the stuff at CVS.
hope i helped!!

Make sure you brush your biteplate and tongue with a mildly minty toothpaste. The tongue also stores a ton of bacteria which may add to bad breath. You may want to start using mouth wash after you brush your teeth. Keep breath mints around.
Don’t use very minty or strong smelling mouthwashes or mints, they are pretty powerful stuff and not always fun to smell on another person. Keep it mild and pleasant.
Also, if there is tooth decay or plaque or digestion problems, those also can cause bad breath.

Well, I used to have a retainer many moons ago. I used to pick a time during the day and soak the retainer in denture cleaner like Efferdent. It worked really well.

floss–it could be between your teeth
brush your tongue too
take chlorophyll tablets (OTC)
brush the retainer and inside your mouth at bedtime (and you might try soaking the retainer in something like polident between wearings)
rinse with mouthwash BEFORE breakfast
watch your diet for foods that cause bad breath (like garlic, onions)

I am 45 and after all these years I finally went to a dentist and starting having my teeth cleaned. The tech that administered the process gave me some advice about bad breath and she said it wasn’t just the teeth that make you have bad breath. It was the tongue. Not only brush your teeth at least twice a day but brush your tongue.
Your tongue has all kinds of bacteria on it that you don’t even realize it is there. If you stick your tongue out in front of a mirror you will see little tiny red dots and maybe a little white stuff on your tongue and those my friend are small bacteria.
Also floss at least once a day because brushing your teeth doesn’t always get all the food trapped in your mouth and when food is left in your mouth it causes bacteria to form.
Make sure you use some kind of rince (scope) after you brush your teeth as well.

use mouthwash and buy a tongue scraper. most bacteria is on the tongue and gums

Gargle a cup of lukewarm water mixed with salt or half a lemon juice.This is best done before going to bed. Chew parsley leaves,which are sure to keep your breath fresh. Put a few drops of tea tree oil on your toothbrush top it with toothpaste, and then brush your teeth. More useful remedies at http://useinfo5.blogspot.com/

use an all natural oral rinse that can help wash away food particles that are left in between teeth and gums and your dental appliance. keep the mouth salivated and hydrated, drink enough water and avoid dry mouth.
