DS and BAD breath

[naturalmame]

My poor ds is 5 1/2 and he almost always has BAD breath!! We brush 1-2 X daily, (I brush them myself and his tongue) we just saw the dentist and he said his teeth looked great! Do you think an overgrowth of yeast could cause it? I am thinking of trying probiotics, it cannot hurt. Does anyone else have any experience with this? I am afraid his peers will say something as it has been going on awhile. Thanks Mamas.

Here's a probiotic designed to fight bad breath:

In kids this is usually environmental allergies. Is he a mouth breather?? (nose stuffed up) Then the mouth dries out. Or mucus production on sinuses/throat due to allergies, can also be food related.
