brush your teeth n toungue every mornings, evenings, and nights.....also buy lots of gum
Reply:My opnion is bad breath is caused by germs that you pick up as time goes by. I'm 64 and have noticed my breath getting worse as I get older I believe you can pick up permanent germs just from kissing. For SURE you can get hepatitis from kissing. Have you ever noticed the improvement in your breath after a round of anti-biotics? I don't know the date you submitted this, as by now, it's probably healed but it's 2 or 3 days to calm down and a couple weeks to totally healed.
