Bad breath usually isn't about the food you ate. Lily, our LS ToothBuddy, explains the real causes — bacteria, dry mouth, and gum issues — and simple ways to freshen up, in under a minute.
Here's What's Going On
Most of the time, it's not the food, it's bacteria living on the tongue and gums.
These bacteria give off smells, especially when the mouth is dry.
Gum disease and leftover food between teeth can add to it too.
Gently clean your tongue, and drink enough water through the day.
Brushing and flossing well clears away the bacteria that cause the smell.
