Question:
I know this is more of a serious advice forum, but I have kind of a lighter question. Besides mint gum, is there any way to get rid of bad breath? Does anyone know of a toothepaste that you can use that helps you wake up with better breath in the morning. Any advice is welcome.
Answer:
Why not ask a dentist?
Answer:
Here is how to prevent bad breath: from thia article.

• Brush your teeth at least two times every day, using a fluoride toothpaste. Be sure to brush along the gumline, as well as all tooth surfaces. Each time you brush your teeth, use your toothbrush to clean the surface of your tongue.
  "I love the power toothbrushes," Rosen says. "It eliminates a lot of the plaque, and plaque is bacteria, and the bacteria is what causes the bad breath."
  
• Floss your teeth at least once a day to remove food from between your teeth. "And you also must, must, must scrape your tongue," Rosen says. "If you're not scraping your tongue, you're still going to have bad breath."
  
• Eat more fruits and vegetables every day. Eat less meat.
  
• Avoid certain foods that cause you to have bad breath. These foods might include onions, garlic and pastrami. Alcoholic beverages often cause bad breath.
  
• Avoid using tobacco products. Any kind of tobacco can cause halitosis.
  
• Sometimes a dry mouth has an unpleasant odor. If your mouth is dry, you can suck on sugar-free mints, chew sugar-free gum or drink water. But Rosen warns, "Certain mints or gum will just mask the problem. You don't want to use anything that has sugar in it."
  Most mouthwashes do not have a long-lasting effect on bad breath. If you use a mouthwash, swish it around in your mouth for 30 seconds before spitting it out.
  
• "Make sure that the mouthwash you are using is alcohol-free," Rosen says. "A lot of the mouthwashes like Listerine or Scope, they do contain alcohol and if you are using them, you need to dilute it because the alcohol actually dries out the mouth and bacteria love that."
  
• If you wear removable dentures, take them out at night. Brush the dentures and soak them overnight in a disinfecting solution. Removable braces should also be cleaned. Follow the directions of your dentist.
  See your dentist twice a year to have your teeth cleaned.
  
• If you still have bad breath, see your family doctor to find out what is causing it.

Answer:
the Listerine PocketPacks work rather nicely. For when you are unable to brush in public, and plus it doesn't have sugar like most chewing gums, so it won't cause more bacteria growth.
Answer:
instead of using your toothbrush to scrape your tongue... use a proper tongue scraper.. its' a lot better that way and it really cleans the tongue... and gargle even with water everytime you eat something, like if you're eating outside and you can't brush your teeth... and mints... they come in handy
and if all of the above doesn't work... halitosis can mean also that something's wrong with your digestive system. (i read that somewhere)
