1. I drink water throughout the day

6 Easy Tips To Say Goodbye To Bad Breath.

Dry mouth is one of the leading causes of bad breath.

This is due to not drinking enough water.

This is the case, for example, when we sleep or when we travel.

The body slows down the production of saliva needed to moisten the mouth.

Result:dry mouth leads to the formation of dead cells on the tongue.

These dead cells are then broken down by bacteria.

And these bacteria are the cause of bad breath.

So the obvious way to combat this phenomenon is to drink water more regularly.

A well-hydrated mouth regularly produces saliva and reduces the risk of halitosis.

How do you know if you are drinking enough? Use this awesome trick.

2. I use a tongue scraper

Get that firmly in your head.

There is nothing more effective than cleaning the top of the tongue regularly.

If you can, clean it after every meal.

The tongue scraper is the best solution for quick cleaning.

But you can do it very well with a simple toothbrush.

Simply run the toothbrush over the tongue for 15 seconds each time you brush your teeth.

Scratching reduces the concentration of organosulfur compounds, which cause bad breath.

You know what you have to do:scratch daily!

3. I make natural mouthwashes

6 Easy Tips To Say Goodbye To Bad Breath.

In some situations, brushing your teeth or scraping your tongue is complicated.

This is the case when you are at work for example.

Instead, I do mouthwashes .

Mouthwash is more effective than chewing gum or mint because it kills bacteria .

So always keep a small bottle in your bag.

For best results, I gargle for 30 seconds.

I close my mouth with my teeth slightly apart and circulate the liquid.

I put as much force as I can into twirling it, then I spit it out.

I don't eat or smoke for the next 30 minutes.

Beware, however, of mouthwashes sold commercially.

They are not very healthy...

Instead, make it yourself by following this 100% natural recipe.

4. I floss regularly

6 Easy Tips To Say Goodbye To Bad Breath.

Bacteria in your mouth break down food stuck between your teeth.

This process then releases a foul odor that causes bad breath.

But you know what?

Regular use of dental floss helps to remove food remains between the teeth.

So don't underestimate the importance of daily dental floss.

It strongly contributes to sanitize your mouth.

To do this, floss between each tooth at the top and bottom of your jaw once a day.

And if you find flossing too difficult to use, there are even flossers.

Admittedly, they are easier to use, but they are much more expensive and there is far too much plastic waste...

Fortunately, there are now rechargeable flossers like this one.

5. I use mint strips on the tongue

6 Easy Tips To Say Goodbye To Bad Breath.

Most people use mint chewing gum to freshen their breath.

This is the case when you can't wash your mouth or brush your teeth.

Except that the effect is only temporary and that chewing gum, is often sweet!

But, good news, I found an alternative that is more effective.

Instead of taking mint gum, I take fresh mint strips.

They dissolve faster and contain less sugar (which reduces the risk of cavities).

These strips give fresh breath that lasts much longer.

So for sure it's not much more natural than chewing gum, but it's much more effective.

6. I eat these foods that fight bad breath

6 Easy Tips To Say Goodbye To Bad Breath.

Do you know that some foods actually help fight bad breath?

This is the case of green tea which has strong antibacterial properties.

It therefore effectively eliminates bad mouth odors.

The essential oils in cinnamon also kill bacteria of all kinds.

Add it to your morning toast or oatmeal.

Or, put a cinnamon stick to flavor your tea.

Also eat crunchy fruits and vegetables.

Celery or apples, for example, offer a double benefit.

Chewing these foods increases saliva production.

But in addition, their firm texture helps eliminate bacteria.

Melons, oranges and berries also help.

A few natural ingredients can also be chewed to combat bad breath.

There are, for example, anise seeds.

Take a few after each meal, it also helps digestion.

Cardamom, fennel or even dill mask bad smells.

Taking 1 clove is also enough to cleanse the mouth in an instant.

A herb widely used in restaurants, parsley also fights bad breath.

Conversely, be aware that eating certain foods causes bad breath.

Well, you can counter this effect by eating other foods at the same time!

For example, drinking a glass of milk can counteract garlic breath.

Milk is therefore an ideal liquid to neutralize these odors, especially whole milk.

Another example with red wine which often leaves bad breath.

An apple or a wedge of lemon (rub on the teeth) and the smell of wine disappears.

How do you know if you have bad breath?

6 Easy Tips To Say Goodbye To Bad Breath.

Bad breath is a real daily annoyance.

It is therefore important to check if you have halitosis before someone tells you!

1st thing to know:bad breath often comes from the tongue.

This is therefore the 1st point to check.

On the visual inspection side, the tongue should be pink and shiny , pledge of a healthy mouth.

Conversely, if it is white and scaly, it is a bad sign.

This is where you need to check whether you have bad breath or not.

The easiest way to find out is to do the spoon test.

Lick the back of a spoon with your tongue, let it dry for a few moments, then smell it.

The smell of the surface is your smell when you talk!

You are therefore quickly fixed with this method.

Ah yes, an important thing to know when testing your breath.

The method hands in the shape of a suction cup and I blow into it, it does not work!

Instead, lick the back of your hand and let it dry for a few seconds.

Smell the surface to find out if you need a quick mouthwash.
