I'm restating the obvious here, but nobody wants to have bad breath. Unfortunately, it's something we can't avoid. I've read stats that say that nearly half of all people suffer from it to some degree, and some obviously have it worse than others.
Some causes of bad breath are ones that we can control, and others are simply ones that we can do nothing about. Let's focus on the ones that we can control though. Taking a few basic precautions will go a really long way.
First of all, I'd definitely recommend buying and using a tongue scraper. This cheap and effective device simply scrapes the bad breath bacteria off of your tongue, and treats bad breath at its root.
People often misunderstand the root of bad breath. It doesn't come from the foods you eat or your teeth, but rather from your tongue. Certain germs build up there and end up smelling really bad.
Back to the mention of foods, you can't let foods build up inside your teeth. If you're eating things like red meats, you definitely need to make sure that you floss your teeth. Leaving food to rot inside your teeth will obviously smell really bad after a few days.
Hold yourself to a regular schedule and make sure that you floss your teeth. If you want to, try smelling some of the food that comes out of your teeth. Once you do that, I can just about guarantee that you'll realize just how important it is to floss your teeth.
It's just as important to keep your body filled with the right amount of water. Drink up as often as you can, but don't overdo it. Any water is always good for the mouth and tongue, as the production of saliva is known to control bad breath.
Try these things out for a few weeks and I guarantee you'll notice a difference. You'll probably wonder why you never did them to begin with. - 29879
