Dr. Clifford Yudelman
Dear MikeIt sounds like this is really affecting your life. Tongue cleaning is the most important step you can take. I know you said you are scraping, but be certain you are effectively cleaning the back third of the tongue. Many tongue scrapers/cleaners are not well designed to easily reach this critical area and efficiently lift the coating of dead cells, decaying food and bacteria without gagging you. If most of your tongue is clean but a small area in the depression (the size of a dime) remains coated you may still have a problem. Aside from the halimeter reading has anybody told you they can detect the odor you are talking about?SincerelyDr. Clifford Yudelman
