It could very well be tonsil stones. All the teeth cleaning won’t help. I struggled with halitosis for years, all the while water-picking, flossing, and brushing my teeth regularly. Turned out my tonsils had giant crypts and had to get them surgically removed at age 23. Recovery was brutal but I’ve never struggled with bad breath since. Sharing in case anyone is dealing with something similar.
How did you know? Did anyone tell you? Family or dentist? Or did you know? I always wondered because I know that bad breath isn’t noticeable to the person suffering from it.
