High levels of alcohol can dry out your mouth and actually contribute to bad breath. Try Rembrandt Dazzling Breath Drops or Rembrandt Mouth Refreshing Rinse. Avoid odor-causing foods like garlic, raw onions, and scallions. If you must indulge, alcohol-free Rembrandt Mouth Refreshing Rinse is very effective in combating garlic breath. Always drink plenty of water.
Fluids keep saliva flowing.
Saliva is nature's slightly acidic formula that normally suppresses the bacteria that cause bad breath. Immediately treat respiratory infections. Vapors from an internal infection will cause an unpleasant odor from your breath. While waiting to see a doctor, eliminate odor by gargling luke warm salt water. Avoid smoking and drinking coffee and alcohol when concerned about fresh breath.
