European male, 53 years, 1,72 m., 65 kgs.,
non smoker since 5 years, married,
president of a textile factory, few/no sports,
diet under control, keeping lipoproteins under 220.
Visits of Otho-rhino-larynx specialists, digestive apparatus X-ray examinations, liver-functions exams, did not ascertain the cause and gave no significant improvement to my problem of halitosis, affecting me since years.
Also psychologic consultations were of no help.
It must be said that I regularly see my dentist and make fair use of paste and mouthwash-products (both clorexidin and sanguinaria canadensis-based).
No help at all from use of mints or oral-sprays.
What can I do against this embarrassing problem, little by little getting psychologic dimensions?
Heeeelp!
Answer -----------------
Please refer to a previous post entitled "chronic halitosis" that can be found in the "Review previous consultations..." section of the ENT clinic. This prior post describes some common as well as unusual causes of chronic halitosis as well as some potential remedies.
