How can i keep my breath smelling fresh while im at school and out?


Answer:
brush your teeth every morning and night. floss once a day. don't eat onions, garlic, or spicy foods. carry scope with you and rinse once you starting feeling it going foul. chew gum. you can also try eating organic yogurt. it has probiotics that help with bad breath also. good luck!
Brush your teeth in the morning (and night). Floss. Don't eat strong, foul-smelling foods. You could even carry a mini toothbrush and paste during the day to brush your teeth. Also try mouthwash and breathmints (stuff like tictacs) and chewing gum. Drink water.
brush your teeth daily, drink lots of water instead of soda, eat mint, eat citrus fruit, oh yeah this might sound nasty but it work. carry a small toothpaste and every once a while put a little(i mean a little) toothpaste on your tongue. run it on good. if you got too much get some water and spit it out.
bad breath can be contributed to by several factors:
1. poor diet
2. infrequent brushing
3. infrequent flossing
4. oral bacteria
5. a number of different health issues, some genetic (see the cited source)generally if you keep up on the first three, neither of the last two will become unmanageably severe.balance your diet. don't skip meals, and make sure you brush and floss after each (as well as after snacks). keep a small (travel size) brush and paste with you at schoo/work. if your gums bleed when you brush or floss, most likely it means you have either gingivitis or periodontal disease, so see your dentist right away if you observe this symptom (the earlier either of these are caught, the more likely something can be done about it).this may sound kindof gross, but all of us (yep, everyone) has a permanent colony of bacteria living in our mouths. they colonize every surface of our mouths, including our teeth, tongues, the roofs of our mouths, and the spaces between our gums and teeth.Brushing disrupts the ability of bacteria to colonize on teeth, tongue, roof of mouth, and outsides of gums. Make sure you hit all of these areas with your toothbrush to disrupt the bacteria there.Flossing is the only effective way to disrupt bacteria that live between your gums and teeth. this is arguably the most critical component of oral hygiene, as bacteria here, if left unchecked for enough time, will slowly break down the tissues that glue your teeth to your gums, as well as your teeth and gums themselves. not regularly flossing can lead to periodontal disease (an incurable destruction of the aforementioned tissues), tooth loss, oral surgery, and just generally extreme unpleasantness.ADA approved mouthwashes (eg Listerene) can kill bacteria in the places where you brush, though personally i am not convinced they are very effective beneath the gumline. they are still a good measure to use, but i don't think they are as useful as regular flossing %26 brushing. personally I believe non-ADA approved mouthwashes are (for the most part) only useful for a temporary improvement in breath odor, and do not contribute meaningfully to your regular dental hygiene regimen.see the wikipedia article (cited below) for more info. hope this helps, and good luck! =]
