I have had bad breath and I lost my job due to it. I had tonsil stones and awful bad breath. My friend told me to check Oraltech Labs as it got rid of his bad breath and his post nasal drip. I've been following Oraltech Labs advice for about four months now and I feel much better, also people are not avoiding me anymore so it seems to have cured my bad breath as well.

Turns out that I had a lot of stomach problems and poor dental hygiene did not help. The two together created a bomb of bad breath odors and it kept me from talking closely to anyone.

Everyone steps back whenever I open my mouth. I know I have bad breath, but I don't know what I can do about it, since I have tried everything. I do not know how one determines if they have tonsil stones or how to eliminate them. Must Read Articles Related to Bad Breath (Halitosis)

My severely autistic grandson has breath that smells like fecal matter. His teeth are brushed daily. He is on a lot of medication. So it is likely the medication.
