Get Rid Bad Breath

While I cannot say I have found a cure, I have learned a few things about how to reduce my chronic halitosis over the last 10 years. I have had white tongue /metallic taste / post nasal drip for about 10 years now. And trust me, I can clear a room if it goes unchecked. Words cannot describe the impact this has had on my social life. Hopefully I can help someone with what I have learned.

Here is what I have found; Alcohol and sugar are the two main culprits, but stress, onions and garlic are close behind. There are other things to watch out for in your diet, but they have been posted all over the net so I will not regurgitate them here. I have found that if I drink or eat the wrong things it will impact me for days, not just the hours that follow. I like Tom’s of Maine alcohol free mouth wash because unlike other similar mouth washes it doesn’t scream “USE THIS IF YOU HAVE SH!T BREATH” on the label. Ever had a date stay over and ask if you have mouth wash? BreathRx is awkward to hand her… Biotene dry mouth tooth paste works well and flies under the radar as too. I usually brush three times and floss once a day. I find the waterpik does a good job if I don’t feel like flossing. In the morning I eat a sugar free breakfast, then brush my teeth, gargle with Tom’s mouth wash, gargle with water, drink a large glass of water, then suck on BreathRx breath mints on the way into work. As soon as I eat lunch I go to the bathroom and brush my teeth. I coat my tongue with Biotene as far back as I can without gagging. Let that sit for 45 seconds or so to penetrate the coating then brush my tongue. Then I rinse my toothbrush off, apply more toothpaste and brush my teeth. Drink lots of water, then suck on BreathRx mints until my mouth feels fresh as a daisy.

You might be thinking, so wait, I can never drink a beer again with friends? I can never go out and have a good time? I’m going to be a designated driver for life?? First, look on the bright side at least you won’t become an alcoholic or have embarrassing drunken pictures posted on the internet for all to see. But I do have one final tip. Get a travel tooth brush (the ones that fold up) and a partially used tube of tooth paste (so its smaller) and carry that in a zip lock bag when you go out. If you want to have a FEW beers, go to the bathroom and brush your teeth after each beer. Drink water or sugar free ice tea in between. That will work for a couple beers. But remember, the more you drink the less you care and the worse your breath will stink. Also your breath will be harder to control for the next few days. But at least you can go out and have a drink time now and then.

There are a few positives to this as well. You will learn to watch your diet and live healthier. You won’t drink as much. You won’t spend as much money at the bar. But the best thing about it is:

Designated drivers get laid way more than sloppy drunks!!
