I have bad breath. my tongue clings to the roof of my mouth?

in causes of bad breath

my tongue always sticked to the roof of my mouth, which i think is the cause of my bad breath since my tongue is always covered, so what do i do? my tongue never comes down! i tried relaxing my mouth, but i guess i’m a naturally tense person because it goes right back up!

i try all of that, but since my tongue clings to the roof of my mouth, i get bad breath all over again!

i dont have dental insurance so i can’t afford that. this sucks.

This one is a tricky one with out seeing you. Some amount of people have a high palate and a small mouth so their tongue can wedge itself in the space. Assuming thats what going on in your case, you options are limited. You need to have a general dentist first look at you and make sure there are no covities, then he may referre you to an orthodontist who in turn may work with a team of dental specalist, and considered expanding the palate.

Do you have a misaligned bite? Your tongue will go wherever there is space in the mouth, so I have learned, and your tongue just adjusts itself to the space in the mouth (I have braces and I have had to retrain and adjust my tongue throughout the process).

Might you be dehydrated? When I’m dehydrated, my tongue tends to *stick* in my mouth and my tongue usually looks white or dry. When I increase my fluid intake, it goes away.

My tongue usually rests behind my teeth, touching my front teeth on top and bottom. I am constantly aware of my teeth.
