In a Nutshell
I'm very self-conscious about how my breath smells. I use mouthwash throughout the day, floss regularly, and keep gum on hand when I'm with friends so that my mouth stays as fresh as possible.
Admittedly, this stems from a time in my life when no matter how many times I brushed my teeth or chewed mints, I still had yucky breath —– turns out, there was a deeper issue at play. It took seeing a dentist and treating a tooth infection to finally kick it for good.
First, check out these links. Then let's explore some potential causes of bad breath and tips for beating it.

Tips for better-smelling breath
what's got us buzzing
Tips for better-smelling breath
Bad breath (aka halitosis) is very common. In fact, up to 50% of adults will have bad breath at some point in their lifetime. You might find your mouth doesn't smell great due to poor dental hygiene, like not flossing or brushing your teeth regularly, or strong foods and drinks like garlic, onions, and coffee.️
Whatever the reason, there's a fix for it! You can beat bad breath by: ️️
  • flossing every day to clean whatever's sitting (or rotting) between your teeth
  • brushing your teeth and cleaning your dentures (if you have them) every day
  • drinking lots of water to flush away food particles and keep your mouth hydrated
  • limiting how often you smoke or drink alcohol to reduce dryness
  • eating probiotic foods like yogurt to reduce the amount of "bad" bacteria in your spit
  • gargling with diluted apple cider vinegar, which may help decrease plaque levels
Alcohol-free mouthwashes and tongue scrapers may help, too. But keep in mind they'll only mask the issue if there's an underlying problem.
If you're on top of your dental hygiene, your diet doesn't consist of strong foods or drinks, and your breath still smells, you may be dealing with chronic bad breath. Research suggests this could smell like sour, partially digested food, ammonia, rotten eggs, fish, or even poop. Potential causes include: ️
  • dry mouth
  • tooth infections
  • tonsil stones
  • plaque buildup or gum disease
  • sinus, throat, and gut health conditions
  • kidney disease
  • diabetes
  • sleep apnea
  • smoking
If quick fixes don't work, consult a doctor or dental professional. They can help you determine where the smell is coming from and how to treat it successfully.
should you try a mouth detox?
