Five Foods that Help Stop Bad Breath

Nov 3 • 1 minute read

There are certainly plenty of foods that cause bad breath, but did you know that these five foods can help fight it?

Cheese and yogurt - Cheese can help neutralize acids and unsweetened yogurt can reduce hydrogen sulfide, both of which can cause bad breath.

Sugarless gum and candy - Both increase saliva which helps to reduce odor.

Tea - The polyphenols in green and black teas prevent the growth of bacteria.

Water - A dry mouth can be rather odorous, but as long as you stay hydrated, you won't have to worry about it.

Crunchy foods - Foods such as apples and carrots act as teeth scrubbers, helping to remove any leftover food particles.
