Bad breath is one of the most common oral health issues and what concerns people the most because it can be offensive to others. In addition to regular checkups and good oral hygiene habits there are some foods that make your breath smell better.

Ginger

Ginger is one of the most popular foods due to its many medicinal properties and people have been using it for generations to cure stomach aches. Combining ginger with lemon juice and warm water to make a flavorful tea, helps keep offending smells at bay.

Strawberries

Eating strawberries can prevent bad breath by fighting bacteria and germs in your mouth because they're packed with Vitamin C. Vitamin C also contributes to the healing process.

Apples

The act of biting into an apple helps push bacteria that are responsible for tartar and plaque, away from your teeth and helps to keep your gums healthy. It is true that eating an apple a day can keep your dentist away.

Green Tea

Catechin is a powerful antioxidant, which is found in green tea. Antioxidants can help fight bacteria responsible for bad breath, so have some hot or cold green tea frequently.

Water

Keeping your mouth hydrated can go a long way in preventing bad odors. A dry mouth is an ideal place for bacteria to grow and cause damage to your teeth. There are specific mouthwashes that for people who suffer from dry mouth.

Parsley

This is one of the best foods you can eat to prevent bad breath. Parsley is rich in chlorophyll, which is a natural deodorizer and is very effective in preventing bad odors. In addition to brushing your teeth twice daily and flossing, you can eat some foods that make your breath smell better or mask certain odors.a

"The first thought that comes to mind for this dental office is "kindness". Perhaps the Kind in Dr. Kindt's name was meant to be! Dr. Kindt and his staff offer the very best in dental care. I recently had extensive cosmetic dental work done and am delighted with the results. The great thing is that people notice my lovely teeth and I get lots of compliments when I smile. I consider Dr. Tim an artist when it comes to dental work. In addition to beautiful work the next best thing is that during hours of extensive work I experienced NO discomfort or pain. The final results combined with the utmost care for my comfort make it easy for me to give this dental office a five star rating." ~ Elaine S.
