Unless you exist on a diet of mouthwash and chewing gum (which, by the way, we do NOT recommend), there have probably been occasions when your breath has not been as minty fresh as it could be.
Perhaps it was that ill-advised last cup of coffee . Or maybe you were a little liberal when cooking with the garlic - and who could blame you?
The point is, at some point most of us have suffered bad breath paranoia.
But if your halitosis is a bit more of a persistent issue, then that can be problematic - and reaching for that mouthwash isn't a long term solution.
Be sure to drink a lot of water
"When your mouth become more dry you have less saliva and when you have less saliva food and bacteria tends to sit in your mouth for a much longer period of time.
"But also remember there are other things beyond just being thirsty which can make your mouth dry.
"For example, coffee, alcohol, smoking and even some medication can cause a dry mouth."
ALWAYS brush your teeth after eating
If you think your twice daily regime is cutting it, then think again.
"If food remains on your teeth because you don't brush and you don't floss, that food just sits in your mouth and is degraded by bacteria and you can just IMAGINE the odour that gives off.
This especially applies before you go to bed.
"When food just sits in your mouth in the morning your breath will be far stronger than you imagined."
