Feel like you’re constantly battling bad breath? Here’s the good news—it might be your diet! Follow these tips for combating bad breath without sacrificing foods you love.
Onions, spicy foods and garlic. If these are staples in your diet, it may be worth it to carry a toothbrush in your purse should you eat any of these foods while you’re out with friends or at a business lunch.
Morning coffee. Coffee may smell (and taste) delicious in the morning, but caffeine can dry your mouth out, leading to bad breath. Follow your coffee with a glass of water.
Fish. While a tuna sandwich may sound like an enticing lunch, your breath tells another story. Keep a stick of sugar free gum handy following a fishy meal.
Poor oral hygiene and oral infections are also leading causes of bad breath. If you suffer from halitosis that you can’t seem to shake, schedule a visit with our practice to discuss your options.
