Getting rid of bad breath
Average rating:
'Use proper dental hygiene, especially flossing, and remember that mouthwashes are not effective in treating the underlying problem.
Fresh parsley or a strong mint are often effective ways to fight temporary bad breath. And avoid smoking. Otherwise, follow prescribed therapy to treat the underlying cause.'
Dr Thomas A Owens, Duke University Medical Centre, Durham
