What do i do to get rid of my bad breath?

Question

I have already been brushing my teeth but it still does not go off.

Answer 1

Since you are practicing good oral hygiene and assuming you have ruled out any underlying medical conditions contributing to your bad breath, try taking a couple of activated charcoal capsules one hour before a meal everyday. It is quite effective, but you have to keep it up...this is not a "when you need it remedy." If you are 40+, you might also want to take digestive enzymes everyday. But the charcoal will probably do the trick for you.

Answer 2

Bad breath can be caused by several factors. But assuming it is a dental problem, then:-

Floss between your teeth and most definitely, UNDER your gums between the teeth. Brushing does not get there. This is where bacteria thrive. It is also where tooth decay will mostly start.

Bleeding from the gums will probably occur on the first daily floss or two. But this is transient. After several days, bleeding will not occur on flossing and your breath will most probably improve.

If you see large volumes of white plaque coming off upon the floss, then this could have been the problem.

Answer 3

Floss your teeth once per day, every day. Brush your teeth 3x per day, every day. When you brush your teeth, also brush your tongue. Your tongue can hold onto all that nasty bad-breath bateria, so brush it 3x per day too. Each time you brush, gargle with your rinsing water to clean bacteria off the back of your throat.
IF you do all this and still have bad breath after a couple of weeks, you might want to go to a dr. and check if you have a throat or sinus infection that could be causing it.

Answer 4

After brushing use mouthwash and brush more often. If it doesn't go consult a doctor because some causes of bad breath is poor digestion.

Answer 5

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 odour.
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 odour. 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 odour 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 bag 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).
