Cures for Bad Breath

To say my good lady wife's breath smells like a bach of bad cabbages at first light would be a gross understatement. When she first awakens her natural behavior is to roll over and greet me with a quick cuddle and a good morning kiss, but by heck I wished she wouldn't! The moment she pouts those lips and lunges for my kisser, I have to stop breathing until she pulls back, and all this just to avoid passing out. Now this might sound like a harsh criticism and I do love my wife, I really do, but whenever I mention to her anything about finding cures for bad breath she goes into denial and says that it's me that needs a remedy on how to get rid of bad breath, not her. Honestly, women!

Well, I eventually managed to reach a compromise one day when I could stand it no longer. I suggested that it would be a good idea of we 'both' took a look at bad breath treatment explaining that it is quite normal for folks of out age to suffer from mouth odor. When I included myself into the problem, she seemed a lot more cooperative in finding a joint solution for the smelly breath crisis.

Causes of Bad Breath

I did a little research on what causes bad breath which I passed on to my good lady wife. Once both she and I had an understanding that this early morning breath issue is commonly caused by bacteria in the mouth, the problem didn't seem quite so personal. I then went on to explain that almost everyone has this bacteria to a greater or lesser extent, and that it produces fowl smelling gases as it multiplies during those sleeping hours. I didn't go on to say that I think she has enough of this bacteria (known as volatile sulfur compounds), to fill the mouths of a marching army!

Chronic bad breath does little to enhance a fledgling relationship. In fact I bet there are both men and women who never took a new relationship to the next level because their date desperately needed some bad breath remedies. I mean, it's hardly the kind of thing you would say to someone after that first good night kiss. It would be easier just never to arrange a second romantic rendezvous. Bad breath cures are only useful if the person with the fowl smelling mouth knows of their problem. If know one tells you, you're usually the last person to hear about it! Should people be cruel to be kind, or is too sensitive a subject to raise with people who don't know each other too well?

Common Cures for Bad Breath

If you listen to doctors and dentists, they will tell you that the very best thing you can do about maintaining a fresh breath is to practice good oral hygiene and that begins with brushing your teeth thoroughly. Far too many folks quickly and droopily run a brush over their teeth and gums just before bed. Not so many people are flossing either, and it's the bits of food which get caught between your teeth that will rot and fester if not flossed out, and this contributes to a stinking mouth. Don't forget to brush the tip of that tongue either and you might also want to rinse with an antiseptic mouthwash when you're all done.

Some people have serious problems with bad breath all day long and such people really need to see a specialist if basic oral hygiene methods fail to help. Some even find that their oral regime benefits from tools such as the tongue scraper. If you find yourself needing a tongue cleaner to freshen up your breath, then it might be a good idea to get your mouth checked out to find out the reasons for this. There are many cures for bad breath available these days, and no one should suffer unnecessary.

My wife's early morning peck on the lips is still not smelling of roses, but it’s a million times better than it ever was simply because she takes a bit more time to clean her mouth before hitting the sheets.
