Brush your teeth
Use mouthwash or toothpaste shown to be effective in fighting bad breath. Floss your teeth at least twice a day (you can get floss in Nakumatt or chemists, costs less than 500/=).
Stimulate your salivary flow
Chew gum, mint, sweet or fibrous fruits and vegetables. These help moisten your mouth and “kill” the bad odor.
Baking soda
This helps neutralize excess acids in your mouth. Bad breath bacteria thrive in an acidic environment.
