We can't guarantee that your life will remain free from bad timing or bad luck, but we can help you prevent one of the baddest bads there is—bad breath.

To complete this How-To you will need:

A toothbrush
Toothpaste
Dental floss
Some water
And a dentist
Mouthwash
Sugarless candy
Sugarless gum, or breath mints

Step 1: Brush & floss

Brush your teeth at least twice a day and floss at least once a day to help remove odor-causing bacteria and food.

Step 2: Brush tongue

Gently brush the top of your tongue every time you finish brushing your teeth.

Step 3: Clean dentures & retainers

If you wear dentures or retainers, clean them regularly.

Step 4: Avoid these foods

Avoid the following: garlic, onions, cabbage, cheese, spicy foods, alcohol, and caffeine.

Tip: If you do indulge in any of these fragrant foods, brush your teeth afterward, drink plenty of water, and have some mouthwash, sugarless gum, or breath mints handy to mask your breath, just in case.

Step 5: Avoid smoking

Avoid smoking.

Step 6: Drink water & eat candy

Drink lots of water and suck on sugarless candy, especially if you tend to have a dry mouth.

Step 7: Visit dentist

Visit your dentist every six months for a cleaning and check-up—visit him sooner if you develop bad breath that doesn't go away after you've tried everything.
