Bad Breath.....

I reckon I don't always smell that great (my breath) that is, what exactly can I do to smell a bit better?

I have heard drinking more water helps, and that if you have a yellow tounge this means bad breath? (Which I do have, a yellowish tounge towards the back).

Any ideas other than mints/chewing gum?

Mouthwash?

Murray Mints. Eww...

Eating less meat. Apples and parsley are great.

Oh, and try brushing your tongue when you clean your teeth.

Brush your tongue. It amazes me the number of people who don't. And brush your teeth THOROUGHLY morning & night, not just a quick 30 seconds (note: occasionally passing out drunk without brushing your teeth is acceptable :p:

). If you smoke / drink coffee, carry mints. Have one after a cigarette or after drinking coffee. I hate coffee breath. ugh. *puuuke*

Try putting lemon in your water when you drink it, especially when you're out (restaurants always have lemons). It tastes good, it makes your breath nice, and water with lemon is a whole lot healthier than soda :smile:

And yes, watching what you eat helps. I find that certain things (like diet soda) always leave my mouth feeling kind of weird and bad-breathey for a while afterwards.

Yes. Absolutely.
