Question

Why does it smell like poop when I floss my teeth?

For some reason whenever I floss my teeth my mouth smells like poop?

I have never noticed this smell before and I'm wondering what could be causing a smell of poop when flossing my teeth?

Answer 1

It's most likely your breath smelling like poop or feces.

When your mouth or breath starts smelling like feces then it can be a sign of bowel problems such as a bowel obstruction or other bacteria backing up in your intestines.

If your mouth smells like poop then it's advised to go see a doctor about it since they can likely fix the problem with your intestines and bowels.
