Girls i need help with bad breath!!!?
oh my gosh girls, i'm in trouble. For two years i had a boyfriend who just didn't care what i looked like so i never fixed myself up for him. Now I've got my mind set on this super cute new guy, but i totally forgot i have the worst breath ever! especially if he spends the night he'll be disgusted in the morning!!! i can chew gum during the day but what am i gonna do when i don't have any or i forget it or we're about to kiss? or in the morning when we wake up! i know bad breath is such a turn-off. HELP!!!

everyone worries a little about their breath when dating someone new--i wouldnt worry too much...just make it a point to have gum all the time jsut to make you feel more confident about it. and in the morning...PLEASE everyone has horrible morning breath! also...i dont know how bad your breath really is, but you may want to start flossing (alot of times you might have food stuck just below the gum line that is causing the bad breath) after flossing rinse with a warm salt water mixture (equal parts water and salt)...salt has an anticeptic quality. give it a try for a few days. it should nip the bad breath problem in the bud.

Have you ever tried a tongue scraper? You can find them at drug stores and I think that they really help keep your breath fresher longer. Just use it before you brush your teeth. If that doesn't help, maybe you should try some Breath RX or maybe see the dentist and see what they recommend.
About the morning breath--if he really likes you it really shouldn't matter. I am sure that in the morning his will not be smelling minty fresh! LOL!
Other than that just brush as much as possible, floss, and try to keep some Altoids, gum, or mints on hand. Once again, if he really likes you it shouldn't matter or at least be something that can be worked on as the relationship progresses.

Um..brush your teeth a lot and floss, use mouthwash, chew minty gum or always have mints on hand. These are things you should be doing anyways though to maintain your basic hygiene.
If you STILL have bad breath after all of this, then you should probably see your dentist. This could be a sign of gingivitis.
Don't sleep with him if he is new anyways. Get to know each other first.

Brush your teeth twice a day and if your in school or at work take a travel case with a toothbrush and toothpaste and carry some mints. And your breath won't smell to bad in the morning if you just brush your teeth right before you go to bed and don't eat anything after you brush your teeth

bad breath usually comes from rotten teeth. sometimes a hole in the tooth that u dnt know abt and food just fill up the hole, this really makes a bad breath
something else, watch out for what u eat e.g. no garlic and no onion
keep listerine with u all the time, i think its more effective than gums

If the bad breath problem is really a big problem, see a doctor. Keep some mints beside you so you can pop them into your mouth as soon as you wake up and before you start cuddling with him.

Use strong mints like Altoids or other things and if you go out to dinner take a toothbrush and paste or mouthwash and brush your tongue real good. Also avoid foods that have oils in them like garlic and onions.

If you know you're not having a good breath day, just turn slightly and give him the cheek. Then a.s.a.p. find yourself some gum, or toothpaste! good luck! Hope I helped =]]
