What do you do for bad breath? I usually suffer from this, unless I spend extra time in the morning really scrubbing my teeth and tongue. Even then, bad breath comes back rather fastly after a meal such as lunch.

Assume no mints or gums are available, what's a good all natural remedy? LOTS of water perhaps?

Bad breath usually means that you have some thing wrong with a tooth or something I would get it checked out

My husband had a problem - and he went to the dentist and it was sorted which was cool much better

There could be a lot of factors contributing to having bad breath. One is if there's something wrong with your teeth. Next, maybe you have gingivitis. Or there could be a problem on your stomach or something, because you're on a diet. Better consult your dentist and doctor on this.

I actually do have acid reflux from time to time. Not as often anymore, I think I grew out of it. But, it isn't too bad of a case of bad breath I am dealing with. What I really wanted to find out was a why to cover up bad breath when no other common alternatives are available.

Imagine eating a piece of garlic bread, and have bad breath as a result. What do you do to rid yourself of the smell?

I would use a mouth wash - and brush a couple more times a day

Sorry I am not much more help :*(

hmm, if it's right after waking up, it's because the natural bacteria in your mouth need oxygen ... to remedy this, i use singing along to the radio to my hearts content my excuse ... and it works!!!

Sounds like a good one that one - but my boyfriend said that my singing sounds like 4 cats being strangled - lol

i've been told the same way, but i could honestly care less ... it makes me happy, and makes sure i dont have bad breath ... i'd say those are good enough reasons ...

Well Ican't do it in the shower at the moment as I can't have one with the cast so can't drown out the singing and I have to have a bath instead takes alot longer

But the singing is even louder

OOOHHHH singing in the mornings we do that maybe thats why I haven't got it

Me and the boys sing while we are getting ready - all the way up to when he leaves to go to school

I will keep going on that one

Will pass it on to the husband too

Haha. Next time I eat a piece of garlic bread, I will begin to breathe in and out very deeply. I might pass out, but I'll have good smelling breath!

Interesting, that germs need the oxygen, and will stop making your mouth smell bad as a result. I'll keep that in mind too.

i can't guarantee it'll get rid of food odors in the mouth, but the nasty rank smell that our mouths accumulate overnight is definitely aided by this ... my secret weapon is Altoids ... they're my gum, i could eat them all day if i needed ... but they also help with bad breath ... be sure to drink plenty of water with your meals, and that'll definitely help, too ...

You get bad breath if you tend to breath through your mouth. Make sure you breath with your nose, and clean your mouth with water after every meal.

Since reading the above I have been making sure I am breathing in through my nose and out through my mouth

my boyfriend asked me what i was doing last night i was sitting there breathing in through my nose and out through my mouth but makes it noticeable he said he was worried about me at one point thought something was wrong heavy breathing lol
