Pass the Mints!

Beat Bad Breath for Good

Bad breath is a big problem. Whether it’s you, someone you love, someone you work with or the person sitting next to you on the train, if you’ve encountered really bad breath, you know what I mean. Bad breath can significantly impact one person’s impression of another. Even if you are well-dressed and well-groomed, bad breath can be a deal breaker – it’s perceived as a sign of a complete lack of self-care.

If you’ve tried everything – extra brushing, mouth washes that claim to bust bad breath, and even the strongest mints and gums on the market; you know this much is true – bad breath can be a very persistent problem.

Floss, Floss, Floss

If you’ve tried everything you can think of and yet bad breath persists, make sure you are flossing at least once daily. This simple habit can greatly improve bad breath, simply by removing the food caught between teeth, which can cause an odor as they decay and become food of the bacterial residents of the mouth.

See Your Dentist

If nothing you do seems to curb the bad breath, you better make an appointment to see the dentist to make sure the bad breath isn’t a sign of a serious health condition. Bad breath can be a sign of sinus problems.

Balance Your Bacteria

Simply popping an oral care probiotic mint twice daily can make a big, long-lasting impact on your breath. Just as probiotics have long been used to strike an ideal balance of bacteria in the gut, researchers have found that balancing bacteria in the mouth not only supports gum and tooth health,  probiotic mints naturally, safely and effectively freshens breath.

Balancing the bacteria in your mouth with oral probiotics may be your chance to kiss bad breath goodbye for good!
