Having a bad breath is like creating your own lonely space. You build bridge around you so others can't smell it. You shy away from your friendships.

That must be an uneasy life you're living in.

Why don't you just do something about it? Why don't you just get rid of that bad breath and get a life?

I have some tips, some fantastic tips, which can help you get the freshest breath ever:

' Find the cause!

Yes, this is the first thing you should do.

The cause could be acidic foods. Acids will help the bacteria in your mouth to reproduce at a faster rate. You need to neutralize the acids in your mouth so that sulphur compounds are discouraged from growing.

Milk, cheese, and other diary products are at the top of the list when it comes to high protein foods that you should avoid. Also, you need to avoid fish for it's high in protein.

Brushing your teeth with baking soda also can help you reduce or eliminate the bad breath.
