How To Cure Bad Breath

I can't blame you for wanting to find out how to cure bad breath. It's a condition that gets in the way of relationships and can keep you from landing that big job or promotion.

But let's think about this for a moment. How do you define the word, cure? I suspect that what you are looking for is a medicine you can take, or something you can do just one time and never suffer from mouth odors again. If that's what you're searching for, I have some bad news for you. Bad breath cannot be cured.



Remember, the primary cause in most bad breath situations is anaerobic bacteria that reside deep within the tongue's surface and deep in the throat. Their natural function is to break down proteins, so they're a neccessary part of the digestive process. Any cure for bad breath would have to eliminate these bacteria, and that's just not something you want to do.

However, I do have some good news for you. There are daily treatments available for use at home that are so effective, you'll experience the same result as if you had, in fact, discovered how to cure bad breath.

To start getting the same results you might expect from a cure for bad breath (if one actually existed), you should develop and follow a good oral hygiene routine. Proper oral hygiene is the first part of how to cure bad breath.

The first step is brushing your teeth at least twice a day. Don't just brush your teeth when you get up in the morning and before going to bed. If possible, brush after every meal. Keep a toothbrush and toothpaste at work and brush after lunch.

Make sure you use a toothpaste that does not contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. SLS does not provide any oral health benefits. Its only purpose is to bubble and foam so that you believe something spectacular is happening in your mouth... even though it isn't.



The truth is that SLS toothpastes contribute to dry mouth. When your mouth is dry, there is less saliva, which is naturally rich in Oxygen, to help keep anaerobic bacteria under control. Products containing SLS will give you pretty much the exact opposite of what you would expect from a bad breath cure. Unless you're willing to make this change, you shouldn't be trying to figure out how to cure bad breath.

Another important part of a good oral hygiene routine is to floss daily. A good daily flossing:

• Removes trapped food particles which can begin to rot, contributing to the odor problem.
• Promotes healthy gums and teeth. Diseased gums and decayed teeth contribute to breath odors.
• Helps prevent major illnesses. Diseased gums provide easy entry points into the bloodstream for bacteria and germs.

Next, use the scraper to apply a thin coat of oxygenating toothpaste. Leave the toothpaste on for about 90 seconds if possible. This will introduce Oxygen to the deeper levels of the tongue where anaerobic bacteria thrive.



You might think that the final step is to use mouthwash or an oral rinse. Well, it is, sort of... But be careful! Using a mouthwash which contains alcohol will contribute to dry mouth. Although the mouthwash may freshen your breath, it's only temporary. In the long run, it will make your breath worse.

Even if you use an alcohol-free mouthwash, the benefit is minimal. You won't get much value for your dollar. What you really need is an oral rinse that allows Oxygen to penetrate all the problem areas where anaerobic bacteria reside.

Remember to drink plenty of water each day. Not only will it help wash food particles and excess mucous from your mouth, it will also help keep your mouth from drying out.

Follow these steps daily. Stick with it until they become a habit. Use an SLS-free toothpaste and an oxygen-rich oral rinse. If you follow these simple steps, I know you're going to feel like you really have discovered how to cure bad breath. Everyone you meet will think so, too!
