Avoid the use of commercial mouthwashes; instead rinse your mouth with a few drops of peppermint oil (from a pharmacy) mixed in a glass of water. Don't swallow the water.

Brush your teeth carefully twice a day. Floss your teeth once a day, preferably before brushing. Clean dentures carefully, Change your toothbrush every two months.

If you can't brush after meals, simply rinse your mouth with plain water.

Visit your dentist twice yearly for a thorough cleaning and examination and to eliminate other causes of bad breath: cavities, bleeding gums gums, abscessed teeth.

Snack on carrots, celery, and apples.
Eliminate offending food and drink, including garlic, raw onions, hot peppers, anchovies, cheeses Including blue cheese, Camembert, and Roquefort, oily meats including salami, pastrami, and pepperoni, and drinks such as coffee, beer, wine, and whiskey.

Chew on several fennel seeds, anise seeds, or cloves to freshen the breath; they can be conveniently carried in a small, sealed container.

Fresh parsley has a similar effect; it's also high in chlorophyll (the chemical that gives plants their green color), which has long been recognized as a powerful breath freshener.

Chlorophyll is also found in commercially available "green" drinks containing spirulina, wheat grass, chlorella, or other herbs. These chlorophyll-rich liquids are best swished around the mouth, then swallowed.

Alternatively, try spirulina tablets, which should be chewed thoroughly.

Plant-base digestive enzyme: 3/day, one tab with each meal.

I've heard green tea...maybe other sorts too- can help reduce halitosis--it's most effective without sugar or milk in it. A lot of the time mouthwashes can dry your mouth out with the alcohol content, and that can actually make it worse, although i can't remember how that works.
