The temporary cure would be some mints. I prefer sugarfree gum. The long-term(I know from experience here) is brushing twice a day and flossing once a day. Richard the retired dentist will get on later and give you some similar advice :)

Usually just brushing your teeth or chewing gum can keep breath "fresh".

There are some people that have bad breath and it is a medical condition, halitosis. This can be treated by their doctor.

use more mint product.
ie. mint toothpaste, mint chewing gum, mint mouthspray. etc

Don't forget to brush your tongue! That pasty white film on your tongue can cause the halitosis too!

Brushing and flossing are the more obvious solutions, but if these fail, I recommend a visit to your dentist.
Tooth decay has a rather unpleasant odour, and holes arent always easily detected, in between teeth for example.
Another cause could be a gum disease such as halitosis or gingivitis.
Again, I recommend a visit to your dentist to rule these possibilities out....

Not opening you mouth!!

Short of keeping your mouth closed all the time, there are a few things you can do:

1) Brush thoroughly, especially your tongue! Lots of stink on there. Floss daily and be sure to do it properly

2) Consider a tongue scraper. You can buy one, very inexpensively, at most...

2) Consider a tongue scraper. You can buy one, very inexpensively, at most drug stores

3) Maintain a proper, healthy diet.

If these things don't help - you should talk to your dentist! You may have halitosis or other more serious problems. And don't forget to carry some mints or gum!

Parsley. I'm serious. I grow parsley in a pot by the kitchen door, and I chew some after I've eaten garlic or something smelly like that the night before. For whatever reason, it completely clears up your breath! (It is also full of iron and an excellent tonic for the blood.)
Try it, you'll see what I mean. Let me know how you go.

I have the same problem. I use mouthwash every morning and every night. i also brush my teeth in the bathroom after every mean and after i have coffee at work. I also chew mint gum all day. it helps a lot. if your at work, you can go into the bathroom and brush your teeth too.

First you have to determine the cause.
Sometimes it is caused by a medical condition. Diabetics, for instance, sometimes exhale ketone bodies that have a distinctive odor. Treatment here is control.
A local infection in the respiratory tract (nose throat, windpipe, lungs), chronic sinusitis, postnasal drip, chronic bronchitis, diabetes, gastrointestinal disturbance, liver or kidney ailment can also cause it.

Bad teeth and periodontal disease can also cause it. The best cure in this case is treating the diseases.

Since the most common cause of bad breath (halitosis) is the odorous waste product (volatile sulfur compounds) created by anaerobic oral bacteria, the most important step a person can take toward improving the quality of their breath is to clean their mouth in a manner which helps to:

* Minimize the amount of food available for these bacteria.
* Minimize the total number of these bacteria that exist.
* Minimize the availability of the types of environments in which these bacteria prefer to live.
* Make any environment in which these bacteria do live less hospitable.

On a second front a person can:

* Use products that neutralize the odor causing volatile sulfur compounds.
he volatile sulfur compounds that cause bad breath are created as a waste product by anaerobic oral bacteria when they digest proteins. This would imply that those persons who maintain a vegetarian diet (a diet composed mostly of fruits and vegetables) will most likely have fewer chronic breath problems than those people who have diets that are high in protein rich foods such as meat.

It is important for a person to clean their mouth thoroughly after eating, and especially after eating foods that are high in protein content. This is because even after we have finished a meal minute particles of food still remain in our mouth. Much of this food debris ends up lodged between our teeth and incorporated into the coating found on the posterior part of our tongue. Since these are precisely the same locations in which the anaerobic bacteria that cause bad breath live, if a person does not clean their mouth thoroughly a food supply is provided for these bacteria over an extended period of time.

Tartar (dental calculus) accumulation can interfere with effective brushing and flossing.
Take notice of the fact that we have used the term "brushing and flossing" here. It is not realistic to think that a mouth odor emanating from the areas around the teeth can be diminished unless flossing is an integral part of a person's daily cleaning routine.

Mints, parsley, fenugreek ,avocado, unripe guava, etc. do offer a short term solution.

Mouthwashes are generally cosmetic and do not have a long-lasting effect on bad breath.
