Things You'll Need:
- Tongue scraper
- Toothbrush
- Gum or coarse food
-
Step 1
In the case of preventing bad breath, the best offense is a good defense; properly care for your mouth on off-time. Brush your teeth, use mouth wash, and FLOSS!
-
Step 2
Chew gum. Gum can help cure bad breath by removing some tartar and breaking up the gunk on your tongue. It also tends to have a pleasant aroma, making it temporarily seem more pleasant.
-
Step 3
If you are at dinner, eat something coarse; Carrots, celery, parsley and salad can all break up the gunk on your tongue that is partially responsible for bad breath.
-
Step 4
Purchase a tongue cleaner (scraper). I know exactly what you are thinking: "I clean my tongue with my toothbrush."
...No, you do not. Buy a tongue scraper, use it and you will notice a significantly cleaner tongue, and with time, breath. -
Step 5
Keep yourself and your mouth hydrated.
-
Step 6
Stay away from things that will make your breath stink like: coffee, cigarettes, garlic, onions, etc.
