Well, the Chinese discovered a bad breath remedy much before dental implants, cosmetic dentistry and ‘my dog has bad breath too’ kinds of confessions. Their cure was 4,000 years ago, and they were basically herbs from the the neighboring forest! Sort of like jogging down to New York’s Central Park and picking up a bunch of herbs to cure a Wall Street broker’s bad breath on the trading floor. The Chinese found their herbs freely on the forest floor, in clear abundance, and with no dental treatments or surgeries to pay for.

According to the EWG database “Skin Deep Cosmetic Safety Database”, the following 55 products have a zero to two rating, meaning that there’s none or two, relatively benign toxic chemical in the product. These are products sold in the US; in other countries the same brand may have different ingredients according to government regulations.
Moreover, the EWG database appears to be limited to commercial products sold through conventional stores, but there’s other products sold through the Net, Mailorder or Network Marketing.

Bones and teeth depend heavily on sufficient supplies of calcium. The level of calcium in, the body depends on how well it is absorbed in the gut. Calcium won’t be absorbed in the colon if there is insufficient vitamin D. This fat-soluble vitamin comes from two sources: it is manufactured in the skin in the presence of sunlight and it is contained in animal fits (met, fish, eggs, cheese, etc).

In case, you have similar symptoms, then you ought to immediately take precautions to stop further deterioration. Mouth hygiene is important aspect of keeping not only your teeth neat but also the gums healthy. Even if you do not suffer from any dental problems, you ought to brush your teeth at least two times a day, at night before sleeping. It s best to use herbal based non fluoride toothpastes or toothpaste for sensitive teeth.

Gums and teeth trap food particles, and bacteria have a great time feeding on these. Infected gums can be a major source of bad breath as they continually produce pus in an attempt to ward off the germs. The gullet and the stomach lining are the site of germs which can trigger offensives smells.

Bleeding gums and a tendency to bruise easily are symptoms of calcium deficiency. It is dif
1000
ficult to absorb calcium when it is not in a solution, so constipation is another possible factor because hard stools signify a lack of moisture in the gut.

In fact, testing for traces of these gases is a standard medical procedure for detecting the presence of the bacterium Helicobacter pylori (major cause of gastritis and stomach ulcers) in the stomach. Additionally, gut parasites such as yeast and Candida albicans produce alcohol and gases.

Most all-natural toothpastes contain more mint and herbal oils than regular toothpaste, so they actually kill more germs than the toothpaste you buy at the drugstore. And, plenty of of them are concentrated, so you use far less toothpaste than before.

Relationships are generated and sealed in the comfort level existing between two or more people. Unfortunately, personal relationships usually begin in a public setting where food and drink are provided and the potential for distasteful and invasive mouth odors are rampant.

Compounding the roadblocks to successful interaction is a chronic bad breath condition experienced by many and known as halitosis. Halitosis is something that affects nearly 80 million people in the United States. Halitosis is a condition that a person has that will cause their nasal regions and glands within their mouths to produce an offensive and foul odor. This smell is something that can not be cured with just the normal brushing, flossing and rinsing techniques that so many other people are using for their daily oral hygiene. While most people will experience morning breath and the occasional bad breath days, those who are affected by halitosis will experience this type of issue on a daily basis. Since halitosis is not a condition that affects just a certain sex or a certain age group anyone can be affected by halitosis at any time during their lives.

AntiPoleez is the effective solution to eliminate bad breath odors caused by halitosis and aggravated by food and alcohol consumption without attempting to cover bad breath with another, more pleasant smell. AntiPoleez contains no artificial flavors, and combats bad breath by using all natural ingredients to break down and remove the odor causing chemicals from the inside of the mouth, leaving only fresh breath where once lived a horrible smelling odor.

AntiPoleez restores self-confidence weakened by recurring experiences with foul breath odors and encourages new personal contacts with the certainty that AntiPoleez will provide a halitosis remedy that will eliminate the need to be self conscious about chronic bad breath during those close, critical “first impression” moments and beyond.

Unfortunately, common methods to “freshen breath” using chewing gum or breath mints only attempt to mask the heavy smell associated with halitosis and other forms of chronic bad breath by overpowering it with a more pleasant odor, resulting in a combination of breath odors which can be as offensive as the original smell on the breath.

In those critical first contacts with new people where self-confidence can make or break a potential relationship, efforts to “hide” breath odors fall short because they are transparent, giving the impression of insecurity with the obvious smell of mint on the breath. In worst case, there is an obvious lingering presence of a foul odor on the breath and attempts by inferior products to overpower bad breath with a “fresh, minty” smell simply fail. The combination of elements composing AntiPoleez’s unique formula promotes and increases the natural chemical reaction inside the mouth which completely eliminates foul odors on the breath, providing a proven remedy for halitosis.

AntiPoleez is the solution to halitosis that restores confidence to personal relationships and offers both hope and help to those affected by halitosis to have fresh breath to be able to continue with their daily activities.

Of all the common bad breath cures we’ve come across in our research this one seems a little outside the box. At least from the point of view of a typical western consumer who’s been trained to throw more pills at any problem and it’ll eventually go away or at least you won’t feel so bad.

The Chinese believe, as part of the traditional Chinese medicine system, that bad breath can be caused by a malfunctioning digestive system and they have a cure for it. Before we talk about the cause and the cure, we need to talk a little bit about the medicine.

Traditional Chinese Medicine has been around along time, 2000 to 3000 years in fact. The traditional Chinese medicine’s, approach to diagnosing and curing illnesses is fundamentally different from western medicine. The basic principals of traditional Chinese medicine are that all creation is born from the interdependency of two principles, the yin and yang. The two are in ever lasting motion that creates the balance in a health body. When either the yin or the yang becomes unbalanced, this is when disease and illness results. One of the body elements in traditional Chinese medicine is Qi (pronounced “chee”) this is the energy that gives as the power to think, move, work and feel. Qi passes along on a system of conduits, the primary ones being channels. This is all manipulated or affected by various forms of tradition Chinese medicine from acupuncture right through to naturopathy.

Now that we know some extreme basics on traditional Chinese medicine, we can talk about the bad breath. The Chinese believe that the digestive system not function correctly is one of the causes for bad breath and more specifically “Stomach Heat” being the culprit.

Stomach heat as the name implies is too much heat in the stomach. This causes bad breath, gum problems, mouth ulcers and frontal head aches. Stomach heat can be caused by a number of factors from high stress to a bad diet. Correcting the original catalyst could very well solve your problem otherwise you may need some external help in the form of acupuncture.

Acupuncture has been around a very long time and is one of the many techniques that Chinese have been using for thousands of years. For those that do not know, acupuncture is the practice of placing very thin needles in various
1000
areas of your body to affect the body’s energy. Acupuncture is used to restore the balance and harmonizes the yin and yang; this in turn relieves the heat in your stomach and your bad breath.

Keep Your Breath Kissably Clean with Electronic Cigarettes

Fresh breath is a concern for just about everyone. We use mouthwash, breath mints, sprays, and gum to keep halitosis at bay, but most people still suffer from it at one time or another. Bad breath can be a real romantic mood killer, so the fight for fresh breath becomes even more vigilant when going on a date. Simply put, while no one wants to be able to smell your last meal, people are often overly sensitive about their breath, especially when going out for the evening. For smokers, fresh breath is often more than a concern; it is a constant battle. Most smokers carry some kind of gum or breath mint with them to disguise the smell of smoke, but they still find that everything around them seems to always smell of smoke. Not only does the odor of cigarettes adhere to your clothes and hair, it soaks into your skin, as well. Only the most physically conscious smokers man

Breath and Dating

Another challenge faced by smokers is dating. While there are plenty of people who do not mind the smell of smoke, there are many others who will find it hard to get physically intimate with someone who smells like an ashtray. No one wants to have a good date end badly because of smoker’s breath or give up the possibility of getting to know someone because you disagree about the use of tobacco cigarettes. For smokers playing the dating game, this is always a risk.
It’s Almost Necessary

In fact, bad breath is a very natural function and given the conditions of smoking, it’s unavoidable. When you smoke a tobacco cigarette, the smoke bonds to the cilia in your throat and lungs, and also to your teeth and gums. This is what causes the distinctive yellow stains on many smokers’ teeth, and it can also lead to halitosis. Combined with the breakdown of enzymes in the bloodstream, stomach, and intestines, it is no surprise that smokers have such a hard time keeping their breath kissably clean.
Are There Really Smoking Alternatives?

There are always new bad breath remedies marketed towards smokers, but few of these work well enough to justify the high cost. As even chewing tobacco and nicotine gum can leave an unpleasant aftertaste and odor, the only solution seems to be to quit altogether. Fortunately, for those who can neither give up their cigarettes nor the fight against halitosis, there is a new smoking alternative that is not only safer, but smells better too. Fifty-One™ electronic cigarettes look a lot like tobacco cigarettes, but they are actually very different. Electronic cigarettes do not require a flame. Though an orange LED simulates the burning ember at the end of a cigarette, there is no actual flame or smoke. This means that electronic cigarettes are safer for both you and those around you. Electronic cigarettes are harmless to other people because there is no smoke or dangerous chemicals involved. In fact, Fifty-One™ is completely legal to use in England, because the smoking ordinances require flame and smoke to qualify as a cigarette. While many other countries still have tighter smoking policies, most people, once they understand just how different Fifty-One™ is, will have no trouble making an exception for the product.
Other Advantages of Electronic Cigarettes

As a smoking alternative, these are also much safer for you. Not only does the lack of fire reduce your overall risk for many lung and respiratory problems, but you also won’t be consuming hundreds of dangerous chemicals whenever you inhale. Studies have identified over four hundred active chemicals in tobacco, plus several added by tobacco companies, which include among them several carcinogens. Fifty-One™ electronic cigarette, on the other hand, contains three chemicals, only one of which has any physical effect upon your body. In addition various levels of nicotine (based on the smoker’s preference), electronic cigarettes are mostly water vapor with some propylene glycol added to color the vapor and make it resemble cigarette smoke. Though this vapor is far safer than tobacco, both for you and those around you, it feels surprisingly familiar when inhaled.

Most smokers will have no trouble getting used to smoke that tastes better and helps calm their hacking cough. Once you find a nicotine cartridge level and flavor you are comfortable with, it may be difficult to go back to tobacco cigarettes, especially considering the monetary and social benefits of switching. After the purchase of a Fifty-One™ electronic cigarettes starter kit, you will start to save money. Nicotine cartridges are sold in five packs for just under fifteen dollars or three dollars per cartridge. Since each cartridge is the equivalent of approximately thirty cigarettes, this means that one pack of Fifty-One
1000
™ electronic cigarette costs about two dollars. If smoking for two dollars a pack is not enough of a reason to quit smoking tobacco cigarettes, the money that you will save on breath mints and gum might persuade you.

Electronic cigarettes are the perfect solution for health-conscious smokers who want a good smoking alternative. Not only does no smoke mean a safer product, it also means that your fight against bad breath will get easier. Fifty-One™ electric cigarette smokers do not smell like ashtrays, and their clothes are not dotted with cigarette burns. A neat appearance and pleasant smell make it a lot easier to impress a date. Imagine being able to smoke just about anywhere without worrying about halitosis or the reactions of others. The odorless vapor of electronic cigarettes makes it possible to be a smoker without sacrificing social relationships.

When you have sinusitis, you would most probably have bad breath or halitosis. If you are not sure whether you have bad breath, try breathing on the back of your hands. You will automatically smell the odor as it comes out of your mouth.

The annoying thing about bad breath is that you cannot rid of it instantly. Are

you a social butterfly or have to rush for a meeting where you are supposed to meet with one of your biggest clients in the company and you have to talk a lot? You must think of some quick bad breath remedies.

Here are some ways that you can save yourself from embarrassment:

• Drink water. Water can help to clean your mouth and freshens your breath for a period of time. Do you notice that your breath especially smells when you have dry mouth? This is due to bacteria remaining stagnant in your mouth and they multiply and release toxins and odors. Moist your mouth with water to wash off these bacteria and if you do not like the bland taste of water, squeeze some lemon or lime juice.

• Chewing on a piece of candy or gum is another bad breath remedies which you can use in a jiff. Your breath will stay fresh at least for that period of time. If you start talking, do not have the piece of candy swirling in your mouth.

• If you don’t have any mints or gum while you’re out eating, you can eat the parsley that is used for decoration with your meal. Chew on the parsley for a few minutes. You may have to rinse out your mouth with a glass of water as you do not want people to see any green particles on your teeth.

• If you have a toothbrush handy, you can quickly brush your teeth and use clean tissue to wipe off the residue. This is a good strategy if you haven’t made it to your destination and you’re not near a rest room.

• You can quickly scrape your tongue with a scraper or a spoon. The thing about this bad breath remedies is that you will have to go somewhere in private. If you can find a bathroom, then you can attempt to do this. If you have any white spots on your tongue, remove them with the scraper or the spoon.

• If you drink alcohol, you will like this one. If you drink a small shot of whiskey, you can get away with getting rid of your bad breath for a while. It has been said that whiskey can get rid of germs that are on your t
1000
eeth. This is not a promotion of drinking alcohol, but it has been said to work, so it is your choice whether or not you want to try this. The only caution is not to drink a lot of it, or you could become rather intoxicated

It is advisable to consult your doctor when you have persistent bad breath as other than sinusitis; there are many other causes like indigestion, gum disease or even tonsillithiasis. You have to find out the exact cause as bad breath remedies can only temporarily rid bad breath but cannot rid what is causing it.

Some people naturally have whiter teeth than others but as we get older, like our bodies tend to head south so do our teeth become more discolored and stained. It’s not only what we eat, drink and smoke that affects our teeth but teeth can also become discolored from tarter and other things such things as tiny cracks in our teeth which increase susceptibility to staining.

If you approach your dentist about tooth whitening they will more than likely suggest the use professional bleaching as a form of whitening your teeth. Bleaching is not a quick fix but it is one of the least expensive options with the whole process taking about 3 – 4 weeks. Firstly, your dentist will have to make a mouth guard to protect your mouth from the effect of the bleach and once the mouth guard is ready your dentist will start the tooth whitening treatment. After the initial treatment you will have to apply the bleach yourself over a two to four weeks for periods of half an hour to an hour at a time although some products can be left on longer to achieve a faster result.

A relatively new method for tooth whitening is laser tooth whitening whereby bleach is painted onto your teeth and then the chemical is activated by a laser light. Laser whitening speeds up the process of whitening your teeth and can result in teeth several shades lighter than through traditional methods of tooth whitening. The whole process takes just around an hour. Laser whitening is a more expensive method but the upside is the speed and the end result.

You can purchase home tooth whitening kits (over-the-counter) but they usually only contain a small element of hydrogen peroxide, in the region of just 2-3% of what is in a professional product, so will have little noticeable impact on the color of your teeth.

You can experience the benefits of tooth whitening for up to 3 years following treatment but it will vary from person to person and smoking and the consumption of certain foods and drinks will speed up the discoloration process. Tooth whitening only works on natural teeth and is not the answer to discolored dentures, crowns or any other form of false teeth.

Tooth whitening can sometimes result in some uncomfortable side effects, which usually only cause temporary discomfort, with the possible side effects including tooth sensitivity, sore gums and sore throat. You should discuss the possible side affect of tooth whitening, with your dentist, before starting the process.

Cloves: Cloves is another natural, safe and easy remedy for toothache. Cloves are known to help ease throbbing pain. Use of cloves in toothache decreases the infection due to its antibacterial components. You can apply it to a decayed tooth cavity. It can also help in reducing pain. The clove oil contains antiseptic properties. Clove oil mixed with ground black pepper and a little salt is extremely effective against a toothache.

Garlic is the essential ingredient in one home remedy for toothache for temporary relief. One clove of garlic, combined with a pinch of rock salt, is to be applied to the afflicted tooth. As a result, pain is eventually relieved. As a “tip” towards a home remedy for toothache preventative, a single clove of garlic should be chewed each day, preferable in the morning, as it can aid in strengthening teeth, and maintaining overall dental health.

Gingivitis (sore gums):inflammation of the gums, when the gums become purple-red, soft, shiny and sensitive and bleed easily especially when you clean your teeth. If gingivitis is left untreated, then pockets of infected pus can develop at the base of teeth, followed eventually by gum boils and loose teeth. Home remedies for toothache may give a tremendous help, keeping gums healthy or healing gingivitis.

Sweet foods must be strictly avoided. These will increase kapha in the mouth, which will help the breeding of microorganisms. This causes cavities in the mouth, leading to toothache.

Do not consume chocolates and sugary foods at night. Their particles will remain in the interspaces of the teeth even if you think you have brushed properly.

Steam treatment should be taken in case of swollen or bleeding gums if nothing else helps. Keep a vessel filled with water on heat and cover it with a lid with a small opening. When the steam starts escaping, expose your gums to its action. Intersperse the steam with rinsing your mouth with cold water. Apply fresh lime juice mixed with coconut or mustard oil after steaming it at night and the glow will be far better than the one given by the any much-advertisement cream or face lotion.

One of the best known Home Remedies for Toothache relief is the good old clove. Clove reduces the pain as it has antiseptic properties and clove oil, applied on the painful tooth, can ease toothache pain fairly quickly. If you don’t have clove oil grind a clove and apply the powder on the affected area. The tooth cannot be cured, but the clove will give you relief from pain.

A mixture of a pinch of pepper powder and a quarter teaspoon of common salt is an excellent dentrifice. Its daily use prevents dental cavities, foul breath, bleeding from the gums, painful gums, and toothaches. It cures the increased sensitiveness of the teeth. A pinch of pepper powder mixed with clove oil can be put on the cavities to alleviate the toothache.

Good and proper diet plays a prominent role in dental health. The vital thing in dental health is not only what a person eats but equally when he eats. With a proper diet, it is easier to keep the teeth and jaw bones harder and healthier.

Proper and regular cleaning of the teeth is an important point to consider. Circular motion with the brush enables better cleaning of the dental surfaces and gentle massage of the gums improves the blood circulation that keeps away bad breath.

Almost certainly, the king of all short term toothache remedies has to be clove oil, the effects of its pain relieving properties can be felt almost immediatly. It works almost like magic, simply putting a few drops on a cotton bud and placing in on the affected tooth with deaden the pain within seconds. Be careful to avoid allowing the bud to touch any other part of your mouth, as the clove oil is so potent it can cause mild skin irritation. some other remedies are placing ice on the area of pain, although that in itself would cause a lot of discomfort initially. Garlic has been used as well but for sheer effectivness, you just cant beat clove oil.

Im talking specifically in this article about bad breath in dogs, however it can just as easily be applied to cats as well.

After doing alittle research on this topic of bad breath in dogs, I found that a very high percentage of dogs at a certain age have periodontal disease.

Periodontal disease is condition in the mouth that over time and without attention to it, break down all the supporting gums and bone that hold the teeth in place.

No not a very pretty picture at all, and it also causes loss of the canines teeth. The bacteria that cause this type of condition not only causes the above mentioned, the bacteria can get loose from the teeth and enter in the dogs bloodstream.

Causing damage to the vital organs in the dogs body such as the kidneys, lungs, heart, and liver. With those kind of damaging results, its no wonder its dubbed the “Silent Killer Of Pets”.

As periodontal disease progresses it is marked by bad breath in your dog.

But Wait..

The good news is that this can be prevented. Good oral hygiene for your pets can become as regular a routine, as your daily brushing and flossing.

1. Regular trips to veterinarian.

This may seem pretty obvious, but is often neglected by many pet owners. Really it is the only way to know exactly where you stand in regard to your dogs health today

2. What your dog eats

Monitor what you feed your dog, can dog food(soft)has been reported as giving dogs plaque, that leads to tartar at very high percentages.

A fruity odor to the breath occurs as the body attempts to get rid of excess acetone through the breathing. This is a characteristic sign of ketoacidosis, which may occur in diabetes, and is a potentially life-threatening condition. A fecal odor to the breath (the breath smells like feces) can occur with prolonged vomiting, especially when there is a bowel obstruction. It may also occur temporarily if a person has a nasogastric tube (a tube placed through the nose or mouth to the stomach to drain the stomach contents) in place.

You may not always know that you have bad breath. That’s because odor-detecting cells in the nose eventually get used to the smell. Other people may notice and react by recoiling as you speak. If you don’t brush and floss your teeth daily, food particles can remain in your mouth, which promotes bacteria growth between teeth, around the gums, and on the tongue. This causes bad breath. In addition, odor-causing bacteria and food particles can cause bad breath if dentures are not properly cleaned.

Factors that affect the airways and cause bad breath

Sinusitis.
Polyps.
Dryness.
Foreign body.
Hindered air or mucus flow.
Bronchitis.
Pneumonia.
Bronchiectasis
Bad breath may be the sign of a medical disorder, such as a local infection in the respiratory tract, chronic sinusitis, postnasal drip, chronic bronchitis, diabetes, gastrointestinal disturbance, liver or kidney ailment. If your dentist determines that your mouth is healthy, you may be referred to your family doctor or a specialist to determine the cause of bad breath.

Use proper dental hygiene (especially flossing), and remember that mouthwashes are not effective in treating the underlying problem. If simple self-care techniques don’t solve the problem, you may want to see your dentist or doctor to rule out a more serious condition that may be causing your bad breath.

Fresh parsley or a strong mint are often effective ways to fight temporary bad breath. Avoid smoking. Otherwise, follow prescribed therapy to treat the underlying cause.

The key to successful treatment, is the surface of the tongue! The dorsal surface of the tongue in cross-section is like a shag rug -papillae forming deep crevasses which defy thorough cleaning. What collects in this surface is plaque, sticky bacterial, cellular debris and food particles which becomes an anaerobic incubator of bad odors. The tongue scrapper much be somewhat flexible to follow the contours of the tongue yet rippled, ridges or “rake-like” in profile to do a proper job. Several passes of this instrument scarped lightly over the tongue twice a day will effectively remove the majority of evil-smelling debris, food, and bacterial residue.

The fact that Garlic and Onion causes bad breath isn’t news for anyone. But, do you know why they cause bad breath? It’s because both garlic and onions have sulfur compounds. Sulfur is often used by nature to create odors. Everybody knows about the skunk for example. The odors that he is releasing are done as a defense mechanism.

All that smell is created by his organism with the help of sulfur compounds (one of them is skatoles). If you let food out of the fridge for too long it will become spoiled. This happens because the food’s proteins are broken down by anaerobic bacteria. The smell of sour milk for example is caused by the same type of bacteria that causes bad breath in people. And the same goes for meat as well.

There are four types of foods that boost the production of sulfur. They’re listed all below:

1. Drying Agents: in most cases alcohol is the drying agent of choice when it comes to food. Obviously, alcohol is also used in most adult drinks, like wine, beer or hard liquor. The real problem is that alcohol is also used exactly in the product that should be fighting the problem, mouthwash. In chemical terms, alcohol is a desiccant.

It’s often used in laboratories to reach places that are harder to clean, like beakers or test tubes. The same thing happens in the oral cavity. Something else you should know is that the alcohol doesn’t even serve a purpose in the mouthwash. It’s just used to make the mouthwash look appealing in the shop. While all the coloring chemicals and flavoring they use isn’t soluble in water, but it is in alcohol.

Even though cigarettes aren’t food, by smoking you’re sure to have bad breath. It’s even worse than alcohol.

2. Protein Foods That Are Dense: Everyone knows that you get bad breath if you eat dairy foods. In South California, two thirds of all people are lactose intolerant. Millions and millions of people worldwide can’t eat dairy because their organism doesn’t breakdown their proteins. If they do eat dairy, amino acids will build up in their organism. Then they will become sulfur compounds, with the help of the throat and tongue bacteria. In a few cases, the same thing will also happen when some people eat chicken, beef or fish.

There are also some rare cases where people can’t break down the proteins from beans. This disease is called TMA (comes from Trimethylaminuria), though it’s also called “Fish Odor Syndrome”. The name comes from the smell, which is the same as that produced by fish that are decaying. The odor has in it nitrogen compounds and sulfur compounds. Those that have TMA aren’t allowed foods with dense protein or beans.

3. Sugars: it would be really nice if you could just chew some M&Ms and lose the bad breath. Or how great would it be to get rid of Hershey Kisses. Those that are producing ALTOIDS would want you to believe this is possible. Besides Altoids, there are other products that try to convince people of the same thing, without a real basis. It has no basis in real science and it doesn’t make much sense either. You do feel a MINT taste when you put a MINT flavor on your taste buds, but it’s only a taste. The sugar that Altoids has will help the bacteria release sulfur compounds, so their claim of helping you get rid of the bad breath is just wrong.

Besides that, the bacteria can also use the present sugars and make glycan strands. These contribute to the creation of plaque on your teeth, which causes gum disease and tooth decay. It also boosts the bad breath. Because you can’t really smell your own breath, you think everything is alright, feeling the mint on your taste buds, but not feeling the breath that others are smelling.

The conclusion is that you should avoid mints, candies and chewing gum if you want to keep a fresh breath.

4. Acidic Foods: below are some of the foods that you should avoid:
Coffee – regular and decaf coffee have acids
Tomato Juice
Citrus Juices – Grapefruit, Pineapple and Orange Juice

Acidic foods are such a problem because bacteria react in a bad way to their environment.
