Is there a way to prevent waking up with bad breath? Any tips?

Question

Yes I brush my teeth, yes I floss....but I hate waking up with bad breath, especially when you want to just roll over and kiss your partner right away!! I'm just curious if any one has tried something that has worked for them?

Answer 1

this happens to the best of us. there is a product you can use before you go to bed, but i dont remember the name. also your dentist carries different tooth pastes designed to last longer period of times and used before bed time it will prevent morning breath.

Answer 2

Sources of bad breath can be from gases in the lungs, stomach, and decaying matter in the mouth. What you put in your body determines what you smell like. Breath Rx sounds good.

Answer 3

There is a product in the chain Drug Stores and Wal-Mart called Breath RX.  I use it and found it to be very effective.  I no longer wake up feeling that an elephant slept in mouth.  After brushing and flossing at night, I use my normal Citrus Listerine and just before I go to bed, I use the Breath RX.  I think you'll be happy with the results.

Answer 4

Your body expels toxins in many ways...urine, f***s, breath, and sweat.

Sometimes, when your are constipated, your breath can assume a very bitter "acid" smell.

If you are not regular, you can use fiber supplements, such as Metamucil, or others such as Citrucel.  Drink lots of liquids.  If your urine is not clear, your need more fluids.

You can't smell your own breath.  You need a family member to check you out at various times of the day to see if is present only at certain times.

Bad breath is a symptom.  It's up to you to find the cause.  It's not a natural thing.
