Why does bad breath stay with us so long? whats the cure?

Brush your teeth, gargle. Eat some parsley.

Brush your tongue, mouthwash, and mints. That’s all that I’ve got..

“Breath that would kill a camel”. Ha! In the morning, I told my ex that it was as if a horse came by and shit in her mouth.

the onions and garlic do it every time… give Crest Pro Health Night (it comes in dark blue packaging) a try before you go to bed and again when you wake up and don’t rinse it out too well when your done.

A co-worker always used to keep a box of cinnamon breath fresheners on hand (really strong ones but I can think of the name but they come in a tin, sorry) and they worked pretty well.

I used to suck on mentholated halls (still do actually) in winter to keep my throat from getting dry and that definitely had an effect, if you don’t mind the taste.

Does eating parsley really work? if so, how? does it neutralize stomach contents, like the onions and garlic? tell me more.

I used to get these garlic rolls, little bread rolls with olive oil and minced garlic, at this Italian place near me. They were so good, but deadly on the breath. Since I worked in close proximity to other people, this was not good. I used to eat about five Altoids, then I would brush, floss, and rinse with Listerine, then eat some more Altoids. It didn’t work, but it helped a little.

Bad diet causes bad breath.

The parsley thing probably has to do more with cleaning your teeth and masking the odor with a stronger one (think breath mint) than anything else unless it possesses some sort of anti bacterial property as it’s a combo of the oils and residue from food and those nasty little sulfur producing bacteria that are the core cause. With that in mind, cinnamon, yoghurt, green tea, and honey are supposed to be, to one extent or another, antibacterial.

Oh and @Snarp reminded me, it was Cinnamon Altoids that my coworker used to chew on like candy.

Parsley is very high in chlorophyll. Chew a few sprigs dipped in vinegar for immediate relief. Swallowing the leaves after chewing, will be digested and continue to provide breath freshness for quite a while. It eems to reduce the production of intestinal gas by promoting better digestion.

Hey, it cant hurt. :-)

ChazMaz you are the man. i will try this combination, without fail. next doctors visit, maybe they can all take off their masks, if this works.

Do the above suggestions, then try breath mints before going to bed. If you still have bad breath, could be a sign of a health problem.

I also find flossing makes a big difference.
As long as you brush again after.

There is also a flexible plastic strip with notches on it. You scrape it on tongue to remove that layer of fuzz.

Nothing will mask garlic or onions breath.
