Bad Breath!

CarlaK · #1 (**permalink**) 11-10-07, 23:04

My Lo has had really bad breath for a few days. She has four teeth, so it's possible that there are more on the way. We brush top and bottom teeth each day and I have had a quick poke around to check there is nothing stuck in the side of her mouth. (Hamster-like!)
Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks,
CarlaK

Yes, it's happened with Myles. I was really worried, but it went away after a couple of days. Weird. We even brush with minty kids' toothpaste, but it still happened.

I find Isabella's smells really strongly of what she has eaten.

I once gave her lentil curry and garlic mushrooms on same day and following morning I went to kiss her and almost passed out!

It will be the teething - Zane gets really stinky breath when he has new teeth on the way. It's the big molars up the top at the moment ....ouch!!

Natalie always gets really stinky breath when she' cutting teeth. Like CathyG said, it's cattarrah causing it, unfortunately your just going to have to grin and bear it. it's nothing to worry about hon xxx

Brilliant, thanks for the reassurance. I was worried that something was rotting somewhere!
Well, pegs on noses for us then!!

But that means more of the dreaded teeth are on their way.............

I find it's worse when a tooth is on the way. It goes away after a couple of days though.

Not as if we can get them to rinse with mouthwash, eh?

Hi
Yeah Leah can have stinky breath even though she gets her teeth brushed. I notice it if she has a slight cold and has to 'mouth' breathe.
