Chewing gum.  Studies have shown that cinnamon flavored gum helps fight bad breath the most because of something in the cinnamon.

Have you used a tongue scraper?  Often bacteria accumulates on the tongue which is a major cause of bad breath.

Some times this is caused by something else other than just bad breath you should see a dentist or doctor and get their advice it might just be something you are eating or something they can help you with.  Good Luck.

I believe you are asking how to stop bad breath.  The best way to rid yourself of bad breath is to practice good oral hygiene by brushing 2-3 times per day and by flossing at least once per day. Also make sure to visit your dentist every 6 months for an exam and cleaning. If you have persistent bad breath this is often a sign of periodontal disease and you should see your dentist for diagnosis and treatment.

Do have any sinus problems?  Sometimes they can cause bad breath.  Ask your doc about it.

I am assuming that you have a hygienists clean your teeth at the Dentist. Having said that, do you floss at least twice a day? You floss to remove tartar and food particles between the teeth. Do you eat a lot of garlic or spicy food, that can cause terrible breath? You also need to brush your tongue as a lot of bacteria can form there. If all that is taken care of, you could check out your sinuses and tonsils. If you have an infection in either it can cause an odour. Last but not least, check with your Family Dr., perhaps you could have a bad stomach that requires looking in to. I hope something works but if all fails, go to a good breath mint or gum with chlorophyll.

If you don't have time to brush your teeth, suck on stainless steel silverwear. Works kind of like those stainless steel soap bars you use to get the garlic smell of your hands.

Floss daily. Use a sulcus toothbrush on the gum line. Use a soft toothbrush on the tooth surface. Replace brushes often.\n\nEat fresh fruits and vegetables to keep the mouth moist and avoid alcohol, smoking, and fried foods.\n\nSee a periodontist immediately.

Umm I think the bacteria in your mouth causes bad breath. Not brushing your teeth can result in having these bacteria, constantly. \n\nIf the person is your good friend I recommend you tell them when no one is around and hand them a stick of gum or something.

Baking soda is a great remedy for bad breath, because it changes the pH in your mouth and makes it a less friendly environment for many bacteria.\n\nTry the baking soda solution. You can add extra punch to your Water Pik by using a baking soda solution to clean your teeth. You can brush on baking soda with a toothbrush and then rinse with water or use your Water Pik,  What I really recommend is mixing baking soda with warm water, pouring that solution into the Water Pik and using it to irrigate your teeth and mouth.\n\nBrush your tongue. Perhaps the most overlooked way of eliminating bad breath is to brush the top surface of the tongue when you brush your teeth. Although there are many causes of bad breath, usually the odor arises from the surface of the tongue. That's because the tongue is covered with microscopic, hairlike projections that trap and harbor plaque and food.  A daily, gentle brushing (including the top of your tongue) unlodges these odorous particles.\n\nOr give it a wipe. Don't have a toothbrush handy? Not to worry. Simply take a hanky or a piece of gauze and give your tongue a good wiping. Even a quick wipe is good for removing the coating on your tongue that can cause bad breath.\n\nJust about any type of mouthwash will temporarily mask the odors of bad breath--usually for about 20 minutes. But to eliminate the foul smell choose a mouthwash that contains zinc. Zinc has a tendency to do a lot of things to inhibit the production of sulfur compounds that cause bad breath. Zinc mouthwashes don't taste as metallic as copper-containing oral products.

It's better to come from you then have him walking around stinking without knowing it.  It's possible he needs dental work done.  There are also stomach diseases that cause bad breath too.  It's time to have a sit down and just straight talk about it.  He might seem hurt but in the end he'll be grateful you told him.

I would say BO.  You can take a bath and freshen up, but if you have bad breath you can't fix that as easily (unless it is just from the food you have eaten).

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!
