A bad breath cure when the bad breath is caused by allergies, nasal and sinus problems is to keep the nose moist so the fluids inside can move. Use sea salt spray to moisten your nasal tissues. Squirt the spray into your nose throughout the day. Small bottles of sea salt spray are sold in drug stores. If you wish, you can buy large bags of normal saline and fill the squirt bottles up.

          You can often cure bad breath from periodontal disease by brushing and flossing but you have to also brush your gums, tongue and cheeks. Old dentures absorb foods which rot and smell so removing dentures at night and soaking them in a cleaner helps. You can even soak them in a diluted beach solution to help kill off the bacteria. If you have teeth, a professional cleaning or scaling and root planing is often effective in slowing down or curing periodontal disease. People with stomach problems should drink lots of water throughout the day. This keeps the contents of the stomach moving. Find out which foods disagree with you and stop eating them when you're around people. Keeping a food diary assists you in remembering what you ate and with identifying the problem foods.

          With older people who suffer from dry mouth, a bad breath cure involves providing ice chips or using artificial saliva to moisten their mouths which helps reduce the odors. It's very important that these older patients remove their dentures and partials every evening before going to bed and soak them in a dentures cleaner over night.. If not, the overworn dentures can trap food and cause bad breath. A helpful prescription product is Periomed. It's a oral fluoride rinse that kills the bacteria that can cause bad breath and periodontal disease. Periomed can also decrease hot and cold sensitivity and the cavities that often accompany a dry mouth.

          Of course, a bad breath cure should always involve professional care. If the odor is due to periodontal disease, you will need dental care because brushing will usually not be enough to get rid of the problem. Remember that bad breath is a sign that something else is wrong. Patients who have medical problems that aggravate and cause halitosis must work with their physicans to address this issue.
