I went to see a doctor for issues other than halitosis, it was for some stomach issues i’d been having since getting my gallbladder removed and he wound up diagnosing me as having IBS and also halitosis. So embarrassing. He only gave me meds to help with the IBS but didn’t give me anything for the halitosis and he didn’t offer any treatment. Actually he didn’t even tell me what the diagnosis were. The way I found out was I was trying to renew my health insurance, and I put that last doctor visit on the application and the underwriters called me and told me they needed to speak with the doctor’s office and ask some questions about the visit. They put us on a 3-way call and the underwriter asked one of the staff ladies at the dr.s office what the diagnosis was and she said, IBS and halitosis. Pretty embarrassing for me but I guess it could’ve been worse, we could’ve been talking face to face and that would’ve really been embarrassing. Ok so now that I know I have it, I really want to deal with it. What should be my first step in curing the halitosis?
I already brush my teeth well at least 2 times a day and I also scrape my tongue everyday twice a day but only floss occassionally. I’d say I only floss once or twice a month. Could that be a reason for it?
