    Other than regular brushing, use inter-dental brushes and brush your tongue when you're doing your teeth.

    This has a far more beneficial effect than mouthwash in terms of breath-freshness.

    This is incorrect. Brushing the tongue on a regular basis should be avoided as it will cause damage to the taste buds.

    Do you take out the tonsil stones yourself? I'd do that to minimize discomfort and stench!

    Btw your breath mustn't stink if people are standing so close to your face :P

    Yeah I do, they're not always visible though. I need my tonsils out really. I'm just so paranoid about people being too close it's so uncomfortable!!

    In other news I told a girlfriend her vagina was a bit on the ripe side one time.

    Turned out to be a tampon that done a disappearing act.
    Girlfriend?
    Surely it was no strings attached!

    Is there anyone close to you you'd feel comfortable asking their opinion?

    Nope, that is incorrect.

    As long as you're not brushing your tongue too forceably you will not damage your taste buds. In fact brushing your tongue can actually improve your ability to taste.

    Would you be able to tell a close friend/colleague that their breath stinks?

    It's gotten to the stage where when we meet as a group that I have to minimise contact with a friend because her foul-smelling breath is too much to take. Even the offer of chewing gums has done nothing to stifle the stench.

    A lot of the time people's bad breath isn't caused by bad hygiene. You'll find it usually happens when wisdom teeth are erupting. The smell will continue until the tooth is fully 'up'.

    I'm not a Dentist, so I don't know why this happens. I'd hazard a guess that it's a culmination of the tooth hiding out in your jaw all your life and bringing a lot of gunge out with it; and the fact that they are so hard to brush/floss.

    Rinsing with salty water regularly can help. Or so I'm told.
