Do you brush the tongue and the roof of your mouth?

My ex had serious issues with tonsil stones. Finally came to the point where she had to get her tonsils removed. You may want to look into that because it really seemed like there was NOTHING she could do about it.

Most people are self-conscious about bad breath because they don't know how to fix it, but it's really easy. You just have to kill the bacteria and change the pH...

floss (once a day)
scrap your tongue as far back as you can
brush your teeth/gums slowly

now to kill the bacteria

mix a small amount of baking soda and salt (i use sea salt) into water, swish for 1-2 minutes, then gargle

now to change the pH

mix half 3% hydrogen peroxide and half water with a little salt (for an abrasive), swish for 1-2 minutes, then gargle

Do this once in the morning right when you wake up and once at night before you go to sleep, and right before you go out...

Check out a product called therabreath, I can vouch for the toothpaste and definitely the mouth wash. It can be spendy but using it regularly has helped me out. Like others said, drink more water

Meta: as I got better at approaches and public speaking I got less and less nervous which stopped me from getting "plantation mouth". Bacteria love a dry mouth,.

Doesn't get any better than the Thera Breath Products

Apples are high in fiber and will cleanse your mouth leaving it fresh.try them as a snack before hitting up day game

Get a tongue scraper. I used mine every morning. Also, I keep gum in my car and my desk at work.

Keep a water bottle with you and refill it throughout the day. Keeps your mouth more... watered down.

Clean your mouth well. Some of the advice here I don't agree with. Brush, floss. I don't recommend using mouthwash or other extreme things like hydrogen peroxide except rarely. These have the effect of killing all the benign as well as bad bacteria. What you want is a lot of the benign bacteria which keeps things neutral. If you kill them twice a day you get a lot of variability that can lead to blooms of bad bacteria.

I vastly prefer the hard mints from whole foods or trader joes which are similar to altoids, they contain much larger quantities of oils that keep breathe fresh long after the mint is gone.

Listerine thin pocket strips are a life saver. Store them in the change pocket on every jean

Diet has alot to do with your breath. Maybe changing up your general diet is too extreme but on the days you going out avoid dairy, cheese, or really sugary food and go instead for fruits,vegetables, or like plain rice.

No matter how much mouthwash, gum or breath strips you use if you don't scrape your tongue you breath is still gonna stink. In fact, using all that stuff without scraping your tongue will make the bad breath more noticeable.

Here's what you do: Scrape your tongue, brush your tongue, scrape it again, and brush it one more time. When you brush it the second time don't spit just yet. Drink some mouthwash, gargle, scrape ONE LAST TIME then gargle some water. Guaranteed fresh breath after doing this man. Trust me. It takes about 5 mins. but after you finish you'll be confident that you have fresh ass breath. If you want to take it a step further eat a cough drop right after doing all this.

Tonsil stones?!?! Never heard of it. Checking wikipedia WTF OMFG I THINK I'M GOING TO HURL!! Didn't you have your tonsils removed, like almost everybody I ever heard of?

Drink more water, and swallow your saliva more often.
