Quick and Easy Tips for Improving Bad Breath
Bad breath is an unpleasant problem that can be embarrassing and difficult to deal with. Bad breath comes from bacteria accumulating in your mouth that causes inflammation which gives off noxious gases and odors that smell like sulfur. The key to fighting bad breath is practicing good oral hygiene and visiting your dentist regularly. Brushing and flossing your teeth after every meal is ideally recommended to help reduce the odor-causing bacteria from accumulating in your mouth. Here’s 9 easy tips to help improve bad breath:

1) Drink more water to cleanse bacteria and debris in your mouth
2) Avoid drinking a lot of coffee
3) Substitute coffee by drinking herbal and green teas
4) Don’t smoke or use tobacco products
5) Reduce alcohol consumption to prevent dry mouth
6) Chew sugarless gum to help saliva flow
7) Have a healthy, balanced diet and regular meals
8) Avoid garlic, onions and spicy foods
9) Breath mints are a temporary fix but the sugar will actually stick to your teeth and mouth
