I'm restating the obvious here, but nobody wants to have bad breath. Unfortunately, it's something we can't avoid. I've read stats that say that nearly half of all people suffer from it to some degree, and some obviously have it worse than others.
Some causes of bad breath are ones that we can control, and others are simply ones that we can do nothing about. Let's focus on the ones that we can control though. Taking a few basic precautions will go a really long way.
It surprises me to see that very few people know what a tongue scraper is, even though it could greatly benefit their situation. All you need to do is apply it toward the back of your tongue, simply pulling forward to drag bad breath bacteria off of your tongue.
You might not know this, but most bad breath comes from bacteria buried within the tongue, and using a tongue scraper once or twice daily can definitely help out with this situation.
Secondly, I'd recommend flossing your teeth as often as daily if you're able to. Think about how bad a steak would smell if you left it on your counter for over a week. You wouldn't want to do this, but for some reason people are okay with the idea of leaving it inside their teeth.
Hold yourself to a regular schedule and make sure that you floss your teeth. If you want to, try smelling some of the food that comes out of your teeth. Once you do that, I can just about guarantee that you'll realize just how important it is to floss your teeth.
Lastly, I'd recommend drinking a lot of water throughout the day. Staying hydrated activates your salivary glands, which are the best natural killer of bad breath.
It also promotes moisture in your mouth, which in turn keeps the bacteria on your tongue from thriving and developing further.
