Does your child have bad breath?

I have no issues with my son's breath but my daughter - it is just horrible.  I brush both of their teeth and they use a mouth wash.  The little girl I watch is the same way with bad breath.  Is it a girl thing?

Sometimes in the morning they do. I make sure to brush their tongues and all around their mouths and not just their cheeks, since I know that can help. I've heard mouthwash can actually make it worse because it freshens breath initially but then dries out your mouth, which makes breath worse. Sipping water through the day can actually help.

i have a 6 yo girl and we've never had breath issues.  there are certain medical conditions that cause  bad breath.

 

but before you start looking into all that though, one thing alot of people dont realize is that simply brushing the teeth isnt going to do much for bad breath.  it's all on the tongue and the the roof of the mouth and the inside of the cheeks. you might want to consider using some mouth wash.

Maybe it is a girl thing, because my daughter's breath is dreadful. It doesn't matter how often I brush them. I end up giving her little mints throughout the day! Poor dear.
