My dd just recently (March 5-ish or so) has gotten bad breath....so I cranked up the toothbrushing time, added floss and mouthwash and scheduled a dentist appt. Her breath was so bad, that I figured she needed a bath the first time I remember smelling it. Well, the dentist said no cleaning needed, no cavities and suggested it was systemic and that we should start feeding her yogurt. She eats a yogurt EVERY morning without exception (for the past 2 months or so), so I added a fiber chewable supplement every other day and scheduled a dr appt. The dr said give her yogurt and fiber, I was already doing this! Now I am at a loss......I thought it was constipation, but I monitor her toilet closely and she's moving her bowels daily (regular looking too) BUT the bad breath still hasn't gone away....it hasn't even gotten better..... It smells like a dirty diaper. I even made sure she wasn't just eating the unthinkable.....but even her freshly brushed teeth can't mask the odor that still lurks. I am at a loss, so I am appealing to the general population of parents to help me out....has ANYONE experienced mysterious bad breath in a 4-5 yr old???

I did with my 7 yr old son and come to find out he was constipated but was still having **'s. I didn't ,and still don't really understand.:confused: He still doese at times but not all the time. My son is on meds, which can be a result of this also. Is she on any medication that might be doing this? Sorry I don't have much advice, but if she is on meds you might check into it. Good Luck:)

Also, is her diet balanced? Some of the side effects of a high protein diet is bad breath (BTDT) and it got so bad, that I actually stopped the high protein intake. Too much of a good thing is not always so good. Also, does she have a sore throat or anything? Sometimes when people get strep their throat/breath stinks due to the infection in there. Good luck. Poor kid, hope you guys can get to the bottom of this very soon!

When DH was with his first wife, her oldest daughter had breath that "smelled like something died". It turned out that she had crammed a piece of tissue or TP up her nose and it was rotting in her nasal cavity. It was causing the horrid breath. The doctor removed it, and the problem was gone. Funny how your nose can make your breath stink!
