Everyone wants to have fresh breath. Whether you are with a client trying to make a good impression, on a date looking for a kiss, or trying to keep your friends from looking away while you chat with them… everyone wants to have fresh breath. The hard part is how to keep fresh breath and go green. Mouthwash has chemicals in it and gum ends up in the landfills, if not on the ground or under tables. Here are some green tips for fresh breath.

  • Eat an apple – Apples have pectin in them which naturally removes odors from your mouth. Plus apples are good for your teeth and you know what they say…an apple a day keep the doctor away.
  • Use a tongue scraper – Using a tongue scraper removes dead cells, bacteria, and leftover food off of your tongue. So it basically removes everything that causes bad breath. A tongue scraper is an excellent tool to have around to quickly prevent bad breath.
  • Drink water – A dry mouth helps cause bad breath so you should continue to drink water all day to keep your mouth moist.
  • Munch on fresh herbs – Rather than keeping mints or gum handy, hold onto some fresh herbs instead. Rosemary, parsley, spearmint, and tarragon are all excellent choices of fresh herbs to chew on in order to keep your breath fresh.
  • Drink green tea – Green tea has polyphenols in it which helps stop the growth of bacteria in the mouth and therefore stops bad breath. Plus green tea is good for you and is known for helping fight cancer.
