BADBREATHCURES
An estimated 65% percent of Americans have bad breath. Over 40 million Americans have "chronic halitosis," which is persistent bad breath. Ninety percent of all halitosis is of oral origin. Americans spend more than $1 billion a year on over the counter halitosis products, many of which are ineffective because they only mask the problem.
Good oral hygiene and regular visits to a dentist are the most effective methods of reducing bad breath. In addition, to improve most cases of bad breath, the goal is to decrease mouth bacteria and increase saliva. Here are some methods to help you reduce bad breath:
- Drink more water
- Reduce stress
- Quit smoking
- Gently brush your tongue after you brush your teet
- Cut down on onions, garlic, dairy, alcohol, coffee
- Avoid sugary breath mints and gum - chew sugarless gum instead
- Do not use mouthwash that contains alcohol
