smelly breath

[2CheekyMonkeys]

just wondering what i should do about my DD smelly breath? it isnt disgustingly smelly just a little odourous! :-) she hasnt got a temp, or any signs of sickness. should i take her to doc or dentist or just wait and see if it goes away?

Could she be teething?? Sometimes my DD's breath goes slightly rank around teething time. I give her her toothbrush just rinsed in water morning and night to try and help some.......if you're concerned or just want other thoughts it wouldn't hurt at all to take her to the dr first? Would she even open her mouth for the dentist? hth some.........xx

well she may be teething but i havent noticed her breath smelling any other teething time. i am not sure if she would open her mouth at the dentist either..... she isnt a fan of opening her mouth for a throat check at the GP so i assume she wouldnt be happy about it at the dentist either. i have heard that smelly breath can be a sign of tonsilitis, but like i said she isnt sick at all. or that sometimes if they have put something up their nose it can start getting funky and get a smell. but i assume the smell would be really bad for that to happen, where as her breath isnt awfully strong. or it could be a dental thing?
