Today, I was stopped by a teacher who told me that multiple people have complained about my breath smelling like "poop and garlic". I brushed my teeth for 10 minutes this morning, flossed 3 times, and have been popping breath mints all day. FML

Persistent bad breath could mean an underlying problem. If you are able to, you might want to set up a dentist appointment.

Dentist appointment definitely! You may also have Tonsilloliths (Tonsil Stones) The pockets in your tonsils collect food and spit while swallowing and the Tonsilith's they create can smell awful. Smell can't be removed by mouthwash or teeth brushing. They have to be manually removed by you or a dentist. I'm sorry, I hope you find out what it is! Also, Enjoy the youtubes on tonsil stones! lol

...or perhaps a gastrointestinal specialist

if you are brushing to such an extent and flossing then you maybe notice a problem too? it could be a sign of another problem so I'd pop to the doctor or dentist to get checked and some treatment :)

Yeah and too, brushing for 10 minutes every day, twice a day? That is way too much. Even if you're brushing lightly, constant brushing or brushing too hard can cause health problems with your gums!

The usual cause is an empty stomach, so eat something, regularly. If that doesn't help, see a doctor, the cause can be medical, like perhaps your esophagus is not closing properly.

That's an interesting combination. At least you'll be able to fend off vampires and stalkers for the rest of the day.

Are you a werewolf? My dog has this same problem, primarily because he likes to eat poop.

Avoid the Poop & Garlic flavored breath mints. I don’t know why they’re so popular! Problem solved. YWIA.

Do you still have your tonsils? You may have tonsil stones, which are smelly and isn’t helped by brushing/flossing. Talk to your doctor about it

My son had persistently bad breath. I purchased him expensive mouth wash. It costs like ten dollars a bottle, but it has cured his yuck breath. The brand is called Smart Mouth. It is in a green and white bottle.
