Answer 2

Use a tongue scraper. The tongue has a lot of bad breath germs. I got one with a scraper on one side and a brush on the other. Add a little toothpaste. Then instead of brushing just up and down, brush in a few directions, then scrape. Mouthwash with a lot of alcohol can dry out some ppl's mouth and cause bad breath. Brush for at least 2 mins and floss daily. If it is dry mouth causing it, my hygienist recommended Biotene. They have toothpastes and mouthwashes. Listerine strips works in a pinch. Or ask your dentist what they recommend. Good luck!

Answer 3

The most common cause of chronic bad breath is a thick coating of bacteria on the tongue. There are special mouthwashes formulated by dentists that can eliminate or greatly reduce halitosis -Breathassure, BreathRx and TheraBreath. You can buy these at a drugstore, Target or Kmart for about 8-10 dollars.
Avoid mouthwashes that contain alcohol. Alcohol dries the mouth, making the condition worse.
Don't take sugary chewing gum or mints.
Try to drink more water, less juice drinks and soda.
Plastic tongue scrapers also help get rid of the coating. Other causes of halitosis include gum disease, diet etc. but these solutions are easy and cheap to try.

Answer 4

Try first paying close attention to your personal hygiene. The smell could be due to bacteria that live in your mouth. Be sure to FLOSS and brush at least twice daily, and try using a antibacterial mouthwash. If that doesn't help, seek help from your doctor or dentist.

Answer 5

Invest in a tongue scraper. If you're out and need one in a pinch, use a spoon. Using this along with brushing, flossing, mouthwashing daily and strong pocket mints like Altoids should help. If not, I recommend seeing your dentist.

Answer 6

If you have nasal problems this may cause gum diseases consequently causes bad breath. If you have decays or infected tooth that causes bad breath too. There are too many reasons for bad breath called halitosis so I recommend you to schedule a visit to your ear,nose, throat doctor and dentist to solve your problem....

Answer 7

Keep mints with you at all times, and brush your teeth 3 times a day.

Answer 8

By flossing your teeth after each meal and using mouth wash often ! also brush your tongue! Not flossing causes bad breath in case you don't floss! good luck !

Answer 9

brush your teeth after every meal. use mouthwash and take a small spray bottle with you to refresh your breath when needed.

Answer 10
