How to cure bad breath?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

Hi UhOh…

I know it’s difficult to maintain fresh breath throughout the day.

First of all, let me say that bad breath does not necessarily mean that person has poor oral hygiene. Despite brushing your teeth regularly, are you brushing and cleaning your tongue as well?

Yes, it is important to brush your tongue, but I know that people with a sensitive gag reflex can really hate having to do it. It’s also important to brush the roof of your mouth too. Tongue scraping (and brushing) alone won’t fix bad breath and/or if you have white tongue. It depends on the shape and texture of your tongue, diet and a bunch of other things. Also, you can hurt your tongue if you scrape it too hard. You have to clean your tongue correctly. You can check out more about tongue coating here http://www.therabreath.com/art_whitetong… and find out more about that yucky gunk on your tongue too.

For the back of your tongue, try using a mouthwash without alcohol in it, that should help too. Try any of Therabreath’s mouthwashes. None of them contain alcohol and they are safe enough to swallow.

There are several things that may cause bad breath. Dry mouth and gum disease are often linked to bad breath. This is because the volatile sulfur producing compounds in our mouth that cause bad breath thrive in a dry, anaerobic environment. When our mouths are full of healthy, oxygen-rich saliva, then it is harder for the bacteria to thrive and create bad breath.

Diet can also cause bad breath. Dairy foods, foods rich in sugar, a diet rich in meat products and alcohol can result in bad breath. If you are lactose intolerant, this might be the main cause of your bad breath.

Dairy foods are notorious for creating bad breath. People that are lactose intolerant end up with more dense proteins available as bad breath fuel for the bacteria than those who have no problem with dairy foods (milk, cheese, yogurt, ice cream, etc.) The end result is a buildup of amino acids, which are easily converted into volatile sulfur compounds by the anaerobic bacteria found within the surface of your tongue and throat.

To avoid bad breath, brush, floss and use an oral rinse without alcohol in it 2-3 times a day. Make sure you brush the roof of your mouth and your tongue as well. Eating crisp fruits and vegetables like apples and carrots can help too.

There’s an article titled “Bad Breath Remedies That Work” here: http://blog.therabreath.com/2010/08/bad-… It gives some more tips on how to avoid stinky breath.

I hope this helps!

If you're getting worried about having bad breath, you're not alone. Many people have bad breath, but others just don't want to say anything. A good way to cure bad breath is to take your toothbrush and put some water on it, next take a carton of baking soda and put it on the brush. Brush your teeth with this twice a week followed by some mouth wash will do wonders, and it will make your teeth whiter, so it's a plus. The baking soda is non-abrasive so it won't hurt your enamel and it is designed to clean and remove odors. Everything else can be managed after you get your cavities filled. I guarantee you will notice a difference within two weeks of using baking soda along with normal brushing/flossing/mouth wash etc. You'll be minty fresh in no time!

Cheers!

Use baking soda myself, and haven't had a cavity since.

raise the pH of your mouth.

Drink lots of water. Swish your mouth with water for 30-50 seconds very frequently.
Don't eat a lot of sugars or breads. Brush 3 times a day, even if toothpaste is not available.
Do you have a sinus problem? Clogged sinuses can cause horrible breath!
chew minty Sugar-Free gum.
Also, make sure your friends aren't just effing with you!

These will help.

when you brush your teeth, make sure to brush your tounge too, it really helps. and maybe you should brush after every meal. just follow a good oral hygene and use mouthwash and floss your teeth

brush your teeth, floss, mouthwash. gum and mints are good quick fixes. also, watch what you eat.

personal experience

Change your smoking and drinking habits if you have & brushing your teeth and tongue with a fluoride toothpaste at least twice a day. If you feel still your breath is bad then see your docs.....

Mouth wash twice a day. Brushing alone does not always kill the gross germs that cause bad breath.

Brush teeth after every meal and use ADA approved gum, or listerine strips.
