How to Eliminate Bad Breath Germs

There are few things more off-putting than bad breath. Halitosis can make the most charming person unbarable. Luckily, no one needs to suffer from bad breath if they follow some simple rules.

Things You'll Need

• toothpaste
• toothbrush
• mouthwash
• floss
• tongue scraper

Instructions

1. To start, I'm sure everyone is aware of how important brushing and flossing is to killing bad breath germs. Most of us brush a couple times daily, but many of us still fail to floss. Commit to flossing every day to eliminate the bad breath germs that hide in the crevices between teeth.

2. Mouthwash also helps to eliminate bad breath germs. Gargle for at least 30 seconds with a high-quality mouthwash to eliminate the germs. You can even buy mouth sprays that use a substance similar to mouthwash that kills some germs. This is great for those times after eating-out when you can't gargle.

3. Finally, tongue scrapers go a long way to rid your mouth of bad breath germs. Many bad breath germs live within the bristles of the tongue. A tongue scraper pulls the germs off of the tongue and helps to end bad breath. You can also use a spoon to scrape your tongue if you don't have a tongue scraper. Tongue scrapers can be purchased at your local drug store.
