Besides brushing and flossing your teeth, gargling with hydrogen peroxide helps to eliminate bad breath. But if the bad breath happens to be potent no matter how well the teeth and mouth are cleaned and the throat and sinuses are cleared, the answer may be a bad filling!
That’s right! Prior to Paw’s filling for his tooth decay, his breath smells like rotten eggs every morning! For the past month or so, he got sick with mysterious flu-like symptoms. He ingested anti-biotics and is just recovering by taking cough medicine and anti-histamine, assuming the symptoms are allergy-related.
In hindsight, my breath smelled like rotten eggs too. For a few months, bits and pieces of my silver amalgam came out and exposed the spongy dentin. And any sponge that has been used tends to smell. And after my old filling was removed and replaced with composite resin, my breath no longer smelled like SULPHUR!
Tip of the day: Get a dental check-up twice a year, if possible. I went for three years without one and managed to keep my teeth healthy until the DENTAL HYGIENIST informed the doctor that I needed a new filling.
