Eat some fresh parsley after eating garlic, rub lemon juice on your hands after touching it, and you can drink some lemon juice in cold water, lemon always helps cut through the garlic odor.

Most of the breath actually comes from the tongue. You can try brushing your tongue, but it isn't as useful as a tongue scraper, which you can find at any drug store. Mouthwash will kill the bacteria, which causes bad breath. I usually brush, then scrape, then use mouth wash.

Red meats, processed meats such as hotdog etc. and try taking flaxseed oil tablets. You can get them anywhere in the vitamin section. It high in omega acids but does'nt leave the bad smell like fish oil. Also eat salmon or other fish, i've heard three times a week.

*Thinking a bit* Bad breath (halitosis) is a common problem which often comes from the activity of bacteria in the mouth. Although there is no way of knowing for sure, most adults probably suffer from bad breath occasionally, with perhaps a quarter suffering on a regular basis.\n\nMost cases of bad breath appear to be due to the breakdown of proteins by a variety of micro-organisms. Several of the breakdown products are foul smelling gases.\n\nIn people with healthy teeth and gums, the odour usually comes from the far back region of the tongue, and grows stronger when the patient starts talking.\nBreath odor and body odor can be a signal of unhealthy conditions. There are other reasons for bad breath other than the mouth.\n\n    * Infections in the sinuses or lungs\n    * Diabetes mellitus (acetone smell)\n    * Kidney failure (fishy odor)\n    * Malfunction of the liver\n    * Stomach disorders\n    * Sjogren's syndrome (extreme dryness of mouth & nasal passage)\n    * Disorder of metabolism ; body can't process choline (fishy odor)\n    * Fasting or on diets\n\nDo's\n    * Visit your dentist regularly.\n    * Have your teeth cleaned periodically by a dental professional.\n    * Floss or otherwise clean between your teeth, as recommended by your dentist. Choose unscented floss so that you can detect those areas between your teeth that give off odours, and clean them more carefully.\n    * Brush your teeth and gums properly.\n    * Ask your dentist to recommend a toothbrush or scraper for your tongue. Clean your tongue all the way back gently, but thoroughly.\n    * Drink plenty of liquids.\n    * Chew sugar-free gum for a minute or two at a time, especially if your mouth feels dry. chewing parsley, mint, cloves or fennel seeds may also help.\n    * Clean your mouth after eating or drinking milk products, fish and meat.\n    * Unless your dentist advises otherwise, soak dentures overnight in antiseptic solution.\n    * Get control over the problem. Ask a family member to tell you whenever you have bad breath.\n    * If someone in your family or a close friend has bad breath, find a kind way to let them know. If you can't tell them directly, leave this fact file lying around. They may get the message.\n    * Buy a mouthwash which has been shown to be clinically effective in fighting bad breath. \n    * Use it most effectively right before sleeping.\n    * Eat fresh, fibrous vegetables such as carrots.\n\nDon'ts\n    * Don't let your concern about having bad breath run your life. Don't be passive.\n    * Don't be depressed. Get help. Don't ignore your gums - you can lose your teeth as well as smell bad.\n    * Don't drink too much coffee - it may make the situation worse.\n    * Don't forget to clean behind the back teeth in each row.\n    * Don't brush your tongue with regular toothpaste - it's better to dip your toothbrush in mouthwash for tongue cleaning.\n    * Don't run to the gastroenterologist for concerns of having bad breath - it usually comes from the mouth and almost never from the stomach.\n    * Don't give mouthwash to very young children, as they can swallow it.\n    * Don't clean your tongue so hard that it hurts.\n    * Don't rely on mouthwash alone - practice complete oral hygiene.\nhttp://www.tau.ac.il/~melros/bda/index.html\n\nNow there are herbal methods to deal with halitosis (No Guarantee how well these work except a couple like pepermint, a main ingredient in toothpaste, that I'm fairly certain works.)\nCoenzyme Q10 (if gum disease)\nFolic acid (if gum disease)\nZinc chloride (rinse or toothpaste)\nSelenium (if gum disease)\nVitamin C (if gum disease and deficient)\nVitamin E (if gum disease and deficient)\n\nHerbs\nBloodroot (rinse)\nCaraway\nClove oil (rinse or toothpaste)\nEucalyptus\nMyrrh (rinse)\nPeppermint\nSage\nTea tree oil (rinse or toothpaste)\nThyme oil (rinse)\nFennel \nhttp://www.pccnaturalmarkets.com/health/Concern/Halit

Warm salt and water. The salt will kill the bacteria in your mouth and also calm the nerves. Like epsome salt would on your skin.

"The best home methods are baking soda or hydrogen peroxide. "\n\nBaking soda can really ruin your teeth over time because it's\nso gritty. \n\nHydrogen Peroxide is a 'bleach'. Many dentists and their assistants will recommend hydrogen peroxide to you.\n\nI have been told however that the problem with hydrogen peroxide is that it will turn your tongue brown. Your tongue has these little hairs on it. The hydrogen peroxide aids in their growth.\n\nIf you want a little furry rug on your tongue then go the hydrogen peroxide route. \n\nNeither method is a suitable replacement for brushing your teeth\nand flossing.\n\n" eating fresh crunchy veggies and fruits such as: carrots, broccoli, celery, apples, strawberries, and cucumbers can help whiten your teeth. I've worked in the dental field for years and have seen many teeth damaged because people thought that brushing with baking soda or eating lemons whitened their teeth."\n\nhttp://www.otan.dni.us/webfarm/emailproject/white.htm

Try your local health food store or co-op. Tea tree is a great antiseptic. I'm a dental hygienist and worked in a holistic pratice. We made our own mouth rinse with 16oz of distilled water and 16 drops of tea tree oil and peppermint oil to taste. It tastes like it smells, but, works great. Tea tree has alot if other uses too.

Well, assuming you want to addresss the problem, and not just cover up things, the best thing for common bad breath is to practice good oral hygiene, although I am pretty guilty of popping gum or a mint when I can't get to a toothbrush.  A common cause for bad breath is gum disease so you might want to look at that angle. \n\nAnother common cause is having a dry mouth, maybe sipping water more frequently can help.  But if you have chronic bad breath and you've elminated the above as possible sources also be aware some stomach disorders and even a sinus infection can cause bad breath.  A trip to your doctor might give a clue.\n\nThere were pills around that said they worked in the stomach to cure food odor, but many oil based food odors, such as garlic, actually get into the bloodstream and the odor comes from the respiratory system and not the stomach.  They were mostly clove oil based but I haven't seen them around lately.

Put KEROSIN on the area of the gum and do your best to get it out.\nI have tried it out and it works,you can then wash the cloth with water and the smell will go and wash as usual.

Brush your tongue as well as your teeth!  The bacteria that grows on your tongue could be a main source of your bad breath...  Besides food will taste better!

Bad Breath is caused by bad breath bacteria that live in a sticky coating called a biofilm. This biofilm coats our teeth, gums, tongue, throat and nasal passages every day. The bad bacteria live in this biofilm and digest proteins that are also present. From these proteins the bacteria are able to make smelly Volatile Sulphur Compounds that are then exhaled when we talk or breathe through our nose. It is these smelly compounds that people recognise as bad smells coming from our breath.\n\nWhen brushing your teeth, amek sure you brush your tounge as wel, because this is where most of the bacteria form. \n\nLook for special mouth washes to help with this- mouth washes that are for gingivites, plaque, and periodontis. \n\nBad breath isnt always caused by poor dental hygiene. It could be caused by other things such as:\n\n-Gum disease (e.g. gum boils, abscesses, spongy gums, gingivitis) \n-Candidiasis\n-Poor digestion and sluggish liver \n-Multiplication of odor-causing bacteria in the mouth and digestive tract \n-Chronic sinus infection \n-Certain medications (especially those that cause dry mouth as a side effect) \n\n\nOther things that you can try to help with the bad breath are:\n\n-Gargle with a peppermint and fennel flavored mouth wash\n-Chewing raw celery sticks helps to freshen breath \n-Make sure that your toothbrush is kept clean and sterilized \n-Dry mouth is a frequent cause of bad breath. Make sure you drink at least 8 glasses of water a day \n-Do not go on starvation diets. Regular chewing and swallowing helps with saliva production and can help to prevent dry mouth \n-Use Detox Drops to cleanse your system \n-Take a course of Candidate if you suspect that you have Candida overgrowth (Candidiasis). Symptoms include fatigue, frequent yeast infections, digestive disorders, excessive gas and odor problems. \n-Clearing underlying and chronic sinus infections can help to prevent bad breath \n\nIf all else fails, ask your dentist. He may have to give you a prescription to help fight off some of the bacteria, which is normal for some people. \n\nGood luck!
