As well as maintaining a high level of oral and dental hygiene, there are a number of self-help measures that can help to prevent bad breath:

Try cutting down on strongly flavoured or spicy food that can make your breath smell. Reducing your alcohol intake and stopping smoking can also help.

Use a tongue cleaner and clean right to the back of the tongue.
Use a mouthwash recommended by your dentist or pharmacist. The best time to use it is just before sleeping.
Drink plenty of fluids and cut down on coffee, which is strong smelling and can make bad breath worse.
Clean your mouth after eating milk products, fish and meat.
Chew sugar-free gum after eating and if your mouth feels dry.
Avoid sugary snacks between meals, which increase bacteria in the mouth.
Visit your dentist regularly and have your teeth professionally cleaned as required.
