1. Brush Teeth
2. Floss teeth (don't think its important? Floss your teeth, then smell the floss. YUCK.)
3. When you brush your teeth, make sure you include your tongue, it is a bacteria magnet. You can even get a tongue scraper.
4. Chew only sugarfree gum, and sugar free mints. Sugar exacerbates bad breath.
5. Keep your mouth moist. A dry mouth can stink.

Bad breath can come from any of three sources.
1) Teeth and gums
2) Tongue
3) Rest of the body.
3a) One source is a yeast called Candida albicans. An excess of candida in the small intestine causes some or all of the following: stomach upset, bloating, bad breath migraine.
The main cause for this yeast is probably simple sugars in food. These come from cakes, biscuits, marmalade, jam, honey, sucrose and any simple starch such as white bread.
Avoiding these things helps. Some biotin may help to keep the candida in a vulnerable state while you inhibit their growth with maximised caprylic acid (one trade name is Capricin). There are other non-prescription natural substances whcih will also inhibit the growth of candida.
The bacteria then get a chance to grow, and keep candida in check. It is a case of balanced internal ecology.

It depends what the cause is. Brush your teeth at least twice a day and floss in between them to remove all debris. Also put 1 drop of tea tree essential oil on your toothbrush with your regular toothpaste, it's an anti bacterial oil so helps to kills germs which may be causing bad breath. See you dentist on a regular basis and the hygienist for a clean.

Eat sensibly, brush teeth several times a day, use floss and the best mouthwash you can buy, not the cheap ones, drink lots of water, don't talk too much, people who do, like lecturers are renowned for having bad breath, simply because the mouth dries out when talking too much! Visit your dentist regularly for a proper teeth cleaning.

Depends whats causing it, it could be a gastric reflex, a pharyngeal pouch or a sinus problem. That needs to be seen by your g.p.
Or it could be gingivitis or a bad tooth - best see your dentist.
Otherwise, start your dental routine by scraping your tongue. Then gently brush your tongue with a dab of toothpaste on your brush, then rinse and repeat.
Then clean your teeth, floss, rinse and brush again; and make sure you brush for at least 2 mins each time.
Then use mouthwash.
You could also try parsley and mint tablets from a health food shop or maybe a big supermarket.

1st stop should be your dentist. If you have a build up of plaque this can cause your breath to smell sour. Also, use a mouth wash and floss regularly. If you still have probs then visit your doctor.
Drink plenty of water as well and chew gum after meals if you can't brush...

Many common natural remedies are claimed to have blood sugar lowering properties that make them useful for people with or at high risk of diabetes. Learn here https://tr.im/S4PB1
A number of clinical studies have been carried out in recent years that show potential links between herbal therapies and improved blood glucose control, which has led to an increase in people with diabetes using these more 'natural' ingredients to help manage their condition.

YES! Meticulous oral hygiene(FLOSSING and BRUSHING at least 2 times a day-brushing your tongue regularly- be sure you have no periodontal disease(it has a deadly smell!!)or be sure you are free of unresolved decay - if you have an infection in your teeth or gums the smell is really nasty!
If all is HEALTHY - ask your dentist for a trial of Peridex or chorhexadine - it is a rinse that may kill microbials contributing to bad breat commonly known as HALITOSIS!
