Getting rid of bad breath

Dr Thomas A Owens, Duke University Medical Centre, on getting rid of bad breath

'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
