10 Basic (Yet Effective) Ways to Prevent Bad Breath

While some bad breath problems can be complicated, a lot of them can be prevented with simple, healthy habits.

1. Brush Your Teeth Twice Each Day.

As the dentist recommends, brush twice each day - once in the morning and once before bed. Make sure to brush your tongue, too! You can also use a tongue scraper if your tongue gets a thick, white coating on it.

2. Floss Your Teeth Once Each Day.

Use floss to remove particles stuck between your teeth (that's where a toothbrush can't reach.)

3. Visit The Dentist For Regular Checkups.

Make sure you go to the dentist every six months. They'll be able to fix most things that could cause bad breath, before anything goes wrong.

4. Use Mouth Wash.

Mouth wash cleans and disinfects your entire mouth. Try something powerful, but make sure it doesn't contain alcohol. Home remedies include hydrogen peroxide and baking soda (each of which can be mixed with water to make your own mouthwash.)

5. Avoid Tobacco (Chewing tobacco, cigarettes, etc.)

Dries out your mouth which makes it easier for nasty bacteria to grow. Also, the tobacco leaves a nasty smell.

6. Eat Parsley.

It's true. Parsley (and other green, leafy vegetables) contain a compound called chlorophyll that is a natural breath freshener.

7. Avoid Alcohol.

Alcoholic drinks can dry out your mouth. Also, avoid mouthwash and breath mints that contain alcohol. (Choose TheraBreath mints, which do not contain alcohol.)

8. Chew On Raw Carrots.

Snacking on crunchy vegetables can help stop plaque from forming on your teeth.

9. Drink Water.

It will keep your mouth from drying out.

10. Chew Sugarless Gum.

This will increase the flow of saliva, preventing odor-causing bacteria from forming.
