The Best Bad Breath Medicine Is Good Oral Hygiene
Good oral hygiene (like twice-daily brushing and flossing) is often the best bad breath medicine and should remove the plaque that leads to gum disease problems. However, many people opt for mouthwashes to help eliminate the bad breath and bacteria. Unfortunately, these rinses may be made with alcohol which will cause dry mouth and bad breath. Any behavior or substance that can cause dry mouth will hurt your bad breath prevention strategy because saliva helps control bacteria naturally and is a natural line of defense against halitosis. Therefore, try to avoid smoking, alcohol, caffeine, and stimulants because all are known to cause dehydration and dry mouth.
