Natural Remedies for Bad Breath

Bad breath is an embarrassing problem that nobody wants to have but which can be avoided with the right dental care. The key is to maintain good oral health. The main culprit to this condition is a buildup of bacteria at the back of the tongue or in-between your teeth. Today we will take a look at the best natural remedies for bad breath and work to eliminate this problem for good.

Some Causes of Bad Breath:

  • Smoking
  • Certain Foods
  • Gum disease
  • Sinus conditions
  • Medical conditions
  • Dry mouth
Dental hygiene is very big business today and as you can see from just a few of the above causes there can be many causes. If you feel that your bad breath is hanging on for a sustained period but with no obvious causes then we recommend you see your dentist just for a check up to make sure that everything is fine and your teeth and gums are healthy. Other than that, let's get straight to some natural remedies for bad breath.

Spices:

Did you know that herbs and spices are natural breath enhancers and simply carrying a portion of anise seeds, cloves or fennel around to chew on after an odorous meal can do wonders for bad breath.

Brush Your Tongue:

Brushing your teeth is obviously important for dental hygiene but neglecting to brush your tongue can lead to bad breath as bacteria can form on the surface of your tongue. Under microscopic conditions you will find that your tongue has little mushroom like hair projections that can hold bacteria from foods. So in future, brush your tongue after you brush your teeth.

Eating Parsley:

Rinse Often:

I know we should be brushing after each meal but let's face it, that very rarely happens. Instead, or if you just haven't got a toothbrush with you, swish some water around the inside of your mouth after each meal to help lift any residual food and to also rinse any residing smell from your mouth. Squeeze a few drops of lemon into a glass of water and use this as breath enhancer…it works very well.

Avoid Certain Foods:

Some foods have the capacity to linger for up to 24 hours and can give off a stale odor. When looking for natural remedies for bad breath, try to avoid strong cheese and other dairy produce that have a strong odor. Coffee, beer and wine are very high on the list of food substances that can directly lead to bad breath. If this is not an option to avoid these substances then make sure to rinse your mouth out regularly after consumption. Mint mouthwash can do the trick but it will only be a short fix.
