So, you’re desperate to treat bad breath (halitosis), and have been trying one product after the next. You may want to stop what you’re doing right this moment, read this article, and use what you learn to stop whatever it is you’re doing wrong. You see, there is plenty of misinformation on how to treat smelly breath. Unless you know the science behind the remedy, you could end up wasting your money, time, and energy on ineffective methods that promise to be solutions but are anything but.
1. Chewing Gum. Sure, gums can freshen up your breath but only momentarily. Gums with sugar increase the frequency of acid attacks in your mouth. You’re better off trying other remedies than chewing gum.
2. Mouthwash. Just because your mouth smells of alcohol after you gargle on alcohol-based mouthwash doesn’t mean it’s clean. Remember, alcohol dries up the mouth, contributing to the stink factor.
3. Stomach Pills. Have you come across ads that claim stomach pills can take the stink out of your cakehole? Don’t fall for it. The stink is not produced in your stomach, and it’s definitely not treated by a stomach pill.
4. Sour (Marsh) Whiskey and Vodka Martinis. You’re probably thinking this is the best way to treat bad breath because it lets you shoot two birds with one stone – you get a buzz, and you get to call it treatment. You couldn’t be more wrong. Anything with alcohol in it will dry the mouth, helping bacteria thrive.
5. Kerosene Rinse. Believe it or not, there are people who actually do this! I’m not sure why anyone would want to gargle with kerosene. But please, don’t do it. This is a terrible, terrible idea!
Getting rid of halitosis requires much more than popping a stick of gum or mint in your mouth. If you want to say goodbye to halitosis for good and for real, don’t just cover up the smell; do something to get rid of it completely!
