Cures for bad breath?!
Question:
Cures for bad breath?
i've heard that rincing with peroxide can help but it sounds a bit scary! where would you get it anyway and should you dilute it?
same with baking powder - is it like a teaspoon to a cup or what?
i no mints/gum and stuff can mask the smell but any tips for actual cures?
also what causes it? ive heard that meat can agrevate (spelling i know!) it but im veggie
so any tips? free home cures would be especially appreciated
Answers:
You should see a dentist if you are worried too much.
+ Don't chew gum. When you chew gum, you keep a lot of spit in your mouth, so gum isn't killing bad breath germs. Use mints. It kills bad breath germs better.
+ Keep away from bad foods. Eat healthy
+ Before you brush your teeth, get a hot hot hot wash cloth and put it on your tongue. That will loosen up bacteria on your tongue, and kill some as well. Then brush.
+ Brush your tongue
+ Brush your gums
+ Brush behind your teeth as well
+ Brush the inside cheeks of your mouth
+ Use a great mouth wash after you brush your teeth
+ Brush your teeth twice a day, but I recommend three times a day.
+ Floss! It can get in between your teeth and get rid of those nasty food particles.
+ Use a toothpaste that helps fight against bad breath.
+ I dont know any "real" home cures. But if you go to a homeopathic (all natural) store, you can get something in a green bottle called Chlorophyll (ask a person who works at the store if that is the correct name. clor-a-fil). It is a leaf or something that fights against bad breath. I used it before, works very well. Not too expensive either.
