Nature offers many resources that can help against bad breath: for example, aniseed and fennel seeds that are easily chewed and spit out. Fresh parsley can balance a garlic smell and lemon juice fights against dry mouth. Mouthwashes with sage also freshen breath and have a disinfecting effect. The key to getting rid of bad breath is good oral hygiene. This means brushing your teeth at least twice a day, flossing and using a tongue scraper. A tongue scraper prevents bacteria from sticking to the tongue. Nevertheless, if these tips don’t help, you should talk to a dentist about the problem.
