Bad Breath Remedy – Use a Washcloth!

There are many so-called bad breath cures out on the market today.  The problem however, is that none of them really address the root cause of the problem.  Bad breath or halitosis is mainly caused by decay of some sort in your mouth.  This isn't to say that there can't be any other explanation for the great majority of us, the problem is bacteria caused by decay.

Forget the mouthwash mints and other ideas that all claim to freshen your breath.  Your breath without all those breath freshener products on the market today should smell neutral.  That is, the odor from your mouth should be neither sweet and pleasant or nasty and gross.  We're not talking about smells caused from foods recently eaten such as basic onion or garlic breath, but a very raunchy almost disgusting odor.

If you have any hope of getting close on that date you will want to fix the problem of bad breath once and for all.   Assuming you're dental care has been good, you can eliminate a common cause of bad breath, the dental cavities and gingivitis problems.

So to keep your breath smelling great, you need to make certain that you brush and floss your teeth regularly.  The most common thing in your mouth that can cause bad breath odor is your tongue.  A good bad breath remedy then would be to regularly and consistently clean your tongue.

This can be done in a number of ways.  The easiest, it's simply brush or tongue while you are brushing your teeth.  The goal was to remove the white coating on the top of your tongue. 

The best remedy of all however is to use a washcloth.  A simple terry cloth washcloth can massage and clean your tongue giving you a fresher, cleaner feeling in your mouth.  A good idea is to even wipe down your gums as well.  This stimulates the gum tissue and helps promote healthy gums. 

Get a piece of the washcloth wet and scrub your tongue, clean.  After a few days, the majority of the white buildup will be gone and you should notice a much healthier feeling mouth.  Along with that great feeling, you will also remove that white coating that smelly bacteria love.  After just a few days, your tongue should be much cleaner and your breath smelling great. 

A thorough tongue cleaning at the same time as brushing and flossing will go a long way to being an effective bad breath remedy and solution to halitosis
