Do cavities cause bad breath?

I have two cavities that got worse and as a result, I had to get a root canal done for both teeth. But I notice a bad odor coming from those two particular teeth. How do I stop this? What's the best remedy? I know I need to go visit the dentist, but I have no money or health/dental insurance. I want permanent results, not temporary masks. I know I have halitosis because whenever I talk to people, they back away from me. It's really embarassing. I don't mean to offend anyone. This is why I feel insecure talking face to face with people. Yes, I do floss and brush at least twice a day. No matter what I do, it doesn't go away. I want to be confident talking to others. One dentist told me I have the early signs of periodonal disease, so can that be it too? Damn it, I don't understand how I have so much dental problems when I take care of my teeth very well. Yes, I have a sweet tooth and I ate a lot of junk food in the past, but I always brush my teeth afterward. WTH?

Try rinsing your mouth with peroxide and eat mints. That is all you can do in your situation unless you go to a dentist where they can open your gums and drain the pus out or drill the rotten part out of your teeth and recap them getting rid of the odors. THey seem infected. I don't know what state you live in, but most places have low cost or free dentists. Like Mercy College in Mi. Call around to colleges in your area. They may have dental colleges with students willing to clean and repair your teeth for almost free or a grade for them. I had my teeth done for free by a student and he did ok. Call around now.
Reply:HELL YES!! i didn''t even read this the main question is all you needed.. i just went back and read it..Did you have halitosis before you had the root canal?


go to GNC store get a bottle of


LIQUID CHLOROPHYLL INTERNAL DEODORANT(NATURAL MINT FLAVOR)


put tablespoon in all you drinkd water juices etc..also use as a mouth wash this will cleanse your insides.Where you had the root canal let it just sit in their and rinse your mouth three times a day with hot water and sea salt if you have some or epsom salt.keep mints in your purse and gum not doublemint gum not good for you gums too soon it's to sweet, ..Onlymy opinion


about the gum part I hate doublemint..so I chew EXTRA winter fresh,.
Reply:go see a dentist. there is something rotting in your mouth, thus the smell. try to find a dental school that can do it for cheap of sometimes free. get a payment plan. something. just get to a dentist. i lived with a person who had the worst breath because she had one rotting tooth.





and if you have holes in your mouth, make sure you use mouthwash and maybe invest in an electric toothbrush so you can clean them out everyday.
Reply:You could have an infection which could effect the gums and affect your breath. There is not much else you can do except spend some money to have it checked out. Some dentist will do a payment plan with you. If anything, you could spend $30 just to have the dentist look at your mouth and then give you some advice.
Reply:Bad breath is caused often because you haven't brushed and flossed well .If you don't keep teeth and gums free of the bacterial buildup, they'll start to cause odor as the bacteria rot leftover food particles in your mouth. More useful remedies at http://useinfo5.blogspot.com/
