What Is The Best Bad Breath Spray

If you have bad breath temporarily because you have eaten something like a curry, onions or garlic, then a bad breath spray may be just the thing to cover up the horrible pong when you open your mouth. But, you need to be aware that some breath sprays work much better than others...

Look for a bad breath spray that doesn't contain alcohol. This is because alcohol actually dries out your mouth, which allows the anaerobic bacteria that live there (and there are over 400 types!) to multiply.

It's the anaerobic bacteria that smell the worst (think rotten eggs and bad drains) and these bacteria just love a dry environment. This is also another reason why your breath will smell worse when you wake up in the morning.

You produce much less saliva when you sleep, your mouth dries up...and yuck, smelly morning breath!(read further down for a simple trick that will get rid of morning breath in mere seconds!)

Good alternatives to look for in a breath spray are ones that contain essential oils like peppermint, clove, tea tree or even eucalyptus. These are natural antiseptics that work on destroying the bacteria that cause the problem, rather than just masking the smell, which only works for a short while anyway.

We all know that feeling of waking up feeling like a camel just used our mouth as it's last potty stop. Even worse though are those times your partner wakes up feeling more than a little amorous, only to be totally turned off by your deathly morning breath.

To avoid this embarassing situation, simply do this:

1. Always thoroughly brush you teeth, gums and insides of your mouth before going to bed the night before. Pay particular attention to the back teeth. There's nothing like a few bits of putrefying meat stuck between your teeth to guarantee foul smelling morning breath! Also remember to brush your tongue. Then floss, and then rinse out your mouth with mouth wash. (But not just ANY mouthwash - see Bad Breath Fixes for the exact right mouthwash to use.)

2. Keep a glass of water next to your bed. Because your mouth dries out when you sleep, this allows the bad smelling bacteria to multiply, which causes your horrible bad breath in the morning. You may add a fewdrops of peppermint oil to this if you wish, but it's not necessary. When you wake, simply take a few swigs of water and this will remove a lot of the bad smelling bacteria.

3. Keep some fresh apples in a bowl by your bed. When you wake up, you and your partner can share a bite of the apple (play Adam & Eve!). Apples contain an enzyme which neutralizes the saliva in your mouth and eliminates your bad breath.
An apple also works as a fantastic breath freshener during the day, and it's healthy for you too!

If your problem lingers on and you find yourself reaching for a breath spray every hour or so, then you need to attack your bad breath problem a little more seriously.

The really good news is that your bad breath CAN be cured within days, and it won't cost you a fortune either. Think how great it will be to stop relying on a bad breath spray that doesn't work for very long, to having the confidence that your breath is fresh and healthy ALL the time.

At Bad Breath Fixes there is a wealth of information on how to fix your horrible bad breath for less than you'd spend on a bad breath spray for a week!
