Brush your teeth!

Proper dental hygiene is the only way to eliminate oral odor. On top of that, be sure to keep your mouth hydrated by drinking lots of water.

Visit a dentist to be sure you have no Periodontal disease in your mouth. Bacteria from this and other infections can greatly increase the odor.

My brother had this problem even though he brushed and flossed. It can be a problem with your digestion so a medical check up would be good as well as a dental clean up.He has a thyroid problem which is better now that he is on medication.His overall health is better and his bad breath has gone! You also need to chew on something occasionally and not go for long periods without eating as this can cause problems. Try to do all of the above asap as the people around you are probably suffering and I write from experience. The problem will not go away you have to take all the appropriate action.Please.

Brushing her teeth with Colgate that has baking soda atleast 3times a day and using mouth wash. i mean that is if you have the courage to tell her that. Otherwise buy her some mints and put them between your desk and hers and tell her they are for you and her so dig in whenever she feels like it. and emphasize about how you never know when your breath stinks so it's better to be safe than sorry. This way she wont feel offended and you wont feel bad. and after meals say lunch say "hey that curry had too much garlic a mint is needed or else we'll chase away people with garlic breath!" not exactly those words but you know. i hope it works.

The only way to get rid of the bad breath is to treath the gingivitis--go to a dentist--see if you need quadrant scalings---this is for people who have not been to the dentist in a long time and have accumulation on ther teeth which you can not remove with rinsing or brushing--after remember to floss DAILY -----

Keep your mouth moist. Bad breath is often related to dry mouth.

Drink water and ask for lemon to be included. Surreptitiously squeeze as much of the lemon into the water as possible, as it will help cover up the odor.

Chew a piece of gum or eat some mint candy. (Gum will freshen your breath longer than candy and has fewer calories if you are monitoring your intake.) This will help stimulate your mouth to produce saliva.

Ask for a dish that comes accompanied by ginger, basil, mint leaves or parsley. Chew on any of these for instant refreshment. Excuse yourself and visit the bathroom to check for flecks of herb on your teeth.

Order a Waldorf salad and request additional apple. Apples freshen and remove any pieces of stuck food in your teeth that may be causing the stale breath.
Use salt (it'll be sitting on the table), if you can take it without raising suspicious glances. As an alternative, leave for the bathroom and ask the waiter to kindly bring you a little bit of salt for medicinal purposes. Gargle it to neutralise some of the odor. It is more effective if combined with baking soda.

If you like whiskey and it befits the occasion, have a glass. Whiskey will help kill the germs on teeth causing smells and will mask the bad odor in small amounts. Don't overdo it though - besides creating a bad impression, breath worsens the more alcohol consumed.

Sneak a spoon into the bathroom. Check to make sure you're alone. Look into the mirror, stick out your tongue and check for a pasty white goo on it. Turn the spoon upside down and use it to scrape your tongue, using a back to front motion. Try to relax or you will gag. Rinse your mouth and the spoon and sneak it back to the table.
If you can't manage to sneak off with a spoon, head to the restroom, wash your hands, use your fingernails to scrape your tongue, then wash hands a second time to get rid of the foul-smelling goo.


Tips

Don't lean in too closely towards your dinner partners. Keep a civil distance and smile a lot. If you feel the need to cough, sneeze or exhale deeply, use a tissue or handkerchief or quickly excuse yourself. Otherwise you risk allowing the odour to travel across the table.

Brush your teeth twice per day. It is most important to brush before going to bed as the bacteria that cause bad breath are most active while you sleep. Flossing at bedtime is not optional. The bacteria in your mouth will use the food bits between your teeth to stink up your mouth and make cavities in your teeth! Also consider getting a tongue scraper and mouthwash (from the toothbrush aisle at the grocery store) for a truly fresh mouth.

Carry a small travel toothpaste and brush kit. You can use a flat, slip-over-the-finger toothbrush that goes nicely in a wallet or purse. These come small enough to fit in a purse or pocket and will take care of the problem without risking sugary snacks or chemicals. You can find these in travel and camping stores.

Always carry a sachet of baking soda (bicarbonate of soda) in your carry bag. This will allow you to discretely visit the bathroom and rub it into your teeth and over your tongue.

Other useful breath fresheners to have in your bag or pocket include mints, a candy cane during the holidays (bite off a slice and dissolve it on your tongue for kids), ginger candy, ginger cookies, Listerine Pocket strips, chewing gum (but not during dinner, only before arrival or you'll look unprofessional) and cinnamon chews.

You can use scent but be careful not to be overpowering - many people don't like heavy scents and this could be off-putting at a business dinner. It'll also be far worse if they get a whiff of the bad breath and the scent all rolled into one!

Brush your TONGUE as part of your daily dental care routine. You don't need a special tongue cleaner: a toothbrush and some toothpaste will do. A large percentage of people with bad breath apparently do not realize that food particles and bacteria lodge into lines and grooves of the tongue and stay there until the tongue is cleaned properly. When brushing your tongue, get as far back on the tongue as possible (yes, food gathers there, too) but don't jam the toothbrush so far back into your mouth that you induce vomiting: Few things will give worse breath than an instance of vomiting!

Warnings

If bad oral hygiene is the cause of bad breath rather than a bad choice at lunchtime, use the embarrassment of worrying about bad breath to motivate you to floss, brush and mouthwash properly from now on. It's easier than having to find a quick solution!

If bad breath is a frequent problem, consider how long it has been since your last trip to the dentist. Bad breath can be caused by periodontitis (gum disease).

Bad breath? Bad breath comes from bacteria growing inside your mouth, most likely on your tongue. Try a tongue scrapper, with a regiment of oral hygiene. Mouthwash, floss, brush teeth.

Brush your teeth, brush your tongue, floss, use mouthwash. If this doesn't work, see your dentist. You might have an infection in your gums that you aren't aware of.
