15 Home & Natural Remedies for Bad Breath

Avoid Dry Mouth

Dry mouth is often the cause of bad breath, as it increases the bacterial build up in the mouth. It’s important always to drink lots of water to remain hydrated, avoid carbonated drinks, coffee, soft drinks as this increases mouth dryness especially after eating drink a lot of water regularly as water washes down the remaining food particles both in the mouth and lungs. It aids the saliva in the mouth to process digestion; you can also masticate by chewing on a piece of gum (especially sugarless) because mastication causes stimulation of saliva in the mouth which will prevent your mouth from being dry especially during the day when dry mouth is heightened. [3]
