   bad breath has to do with bacteria in your mouth. brush your tongue….and also use listerine. you want to kill the bacteria in mouth…try to go to the dentist regularly to get cleanings also.

   Mouthwash is the best solution preferably Listerine. Then if your out on the road use the spray or strips. Listerine is actually the best product solution for bad breath.

   do you make sure you brush your tongue until all of the white build up is off? also make sure you brush the roof of your mouth and floss. food that gets stuck between your teeth can also cause bad breath. don’t forget mouth wash and also try brushing after each meal to keep your breath fresh. if that doesn’t help than maybe you should try seeing a dentist about it.

   Actually, it may have nothing to do with your mouth. You may have a tummy problem like an ulcer. Ever think of that?

   Are you brushing correctly? Do it for at least 2-3 minutes, don’t forget your tongue/back teeth.

   Flossing and mouthwash help kill bacteria you may have missed.

   There are also sugarfree gums which help kill bacteria and keep your breath fresh.

   Flossing and mouthwash usually helps. You could use a tongue scraper to remove bacteria from your tongue and of course brushing 2 times a day. It’s a really good idea to go to the dentist every 6 months for cleanings and check ups.

    If you are a heavy coffee drinker like me you should always carry a mint gum or mint candies . brush your tongue and gargle mouthwash. I hope this helps, have a nice day.

    See a dentist first and foremost. You may have something going on with your teeth or gums that are causing you to have chronic bad breath. In the meantime, breath mints or gum will help.

    Best of luck with this embarassing problem.

    Use Listerine, the only mouthwash that really cleans, and get a tongue scraper because that is where most of the bad breath germs hang out, on the tongue. Also keep mints handy, tictacs Altoids, etc and eat parsley with your meals, that is a natural deodorizer.

    As stated..use an antiseptic mouthwash and make sure you floss.

    There may be many reasons for this probelm, but you should also note that everyone gets bad breath at some point in their life, so don’t feel too bad.
    You can use a tounge scraper, or tongue brush, dental floss, mouthwash (NOTE; use one WITHOUT ALCOHOL. Alcohol actually makes the problem worse) Crest is a good one. Listerine is bad.
    the reasons may also be dry mouth (caused by too much alcohol, which drys the mouth up, leaving it more volatile, and breath more noticeable) a gum disease, digestion/intestinal problems, improper oral health, strong spices, tobacco, sinus infection, stress, dieting, sluggish bowel actioin, bacteria in the mouth or stomach, etc.
    You can check your breath by licking the inside of your wrist. also avoid gum with sugar. I’ve found out that Stride gum lasts long. Asking a friend might not be too reliable coz everyone perceives smell at a different level. Just remeber that everyone suffers this problem at a time in their life so don’t be too worried

    I’ve left a websit e for you to check out. It is EXTREMELY useful, gives info on all causes and their treatment, and gives natural tratments to them. The best thing is, they are not affiliated with any dental product so you are getting unbiased advice. they also back all their findings withs scientific study, so it’s not one of these home-made mombo jombo treatment stuff.
    Hope it helps!

    not sure how your teeth are but for myself i never took good care of them I do now

    but i notced before i got a deep scalling done my breath stunk badly after brushing after listern about a good 3-5 minutes it would feel fresh!

    I would go get a scaling done to help cut down on the bacteria that you can’t see or get to with mouthwash! ect…

    brush and floss regualry 2-3 times a day and build that habit!

    that’s the onlything that helped me!
    talk to your hygentist to see if they have a special toothpast too!

    having bad breath have many possible causes. bad breath causes may include bad bacteria, dirty mouth, dry mouth, gum disease, medications, stomach-related illness, cavities, eating a garlicky meal and lack of oral hygiene. bear in mind that bad breath treatments depend on the cause of bad breath. but remember that one best solution is a good and proper oral hygiene. make sure that you keep the mouth well hydrated by drinking lots of water. visit a physician if bad breath cause is not in the mouth for it may signal other illness. for more tips about bad breath visit

    Put a few drops of tea tree oil on your toothbrush top it with toothpaste, and then brush your teeth. Tea tree oil can also cure gum disease, which is possibly the cause of your bad breath. More useful remedies at
