You wake up in the morning....have a taste in your mouth that's like the bottom of a bird cage; your tongue is all furry, mouth is as dry as the Sahara Desert in a drought so you exhale a gust of air from the bottom of your lungs in total despair....and the whole room scatters.
It's a chronic bad breath case of the morning after the day before!
So what's the cure?
Well first of all turn the clock back a bit and try to recollect what you were eating and drinking the night before. One of the best remedies for a bad breath problem is to be careful with your eating habits. That beautiful Italian dish with all the garlic went down a treat but it certainly doesn't help your morning breath....although it is one sure way to make sure you have the elevator all to yourself on the way to the office.
And then there is all that beautiful red wine....lovely nose, fruity palate....but man alive....am I dehydrated this morning....and the fur on my tongue....oh dear!
Mouth hygiene is also dependent on the body being well hydrated. Now that means drinking plenty of water so here's a good tip....if you do happen to be having a few sociable glasses of wine....for every glass you consume follow it up with a glass of water. Not only will the water help your bad breath in the morning but it will eliminate that fur on the tongue....and there's also the added bonus of it being a great hangover cure.
So now on a more serious note let's have a look and see how all this can help cure your obnoxious breath problem.
? Be careful about what you eat....go easy on things containing hot spices, garlic, onions and eschallots etc
? Treat alcoholic beverages with care
? Drink plenty of fresh water throughout the day and keep well hydrated
? Brush your teeth after each meal (don't forget to brush your tongue too) and rinse your mouth out with clean water after having a between meals snack
? If you notice any signs of blood coming from your gums have them checked by your dentist immediately....it could be gum disease and this is also a major cause of bad breath
? Tooth decay also contributes to stinky breath so be sure and have a check up every six months.
You can see that with just a little effort on your mouth hygiene plus keeping an eye on what you eat and drink will all go a long way to giving you that mountain fresh breath....you will feel better, your friends and work mates will love you for it and you will no longer be a bad breath victim.
