There are multiple ways to get fresher breath. One of them may surprise you. It’s chewing gum, as shown in this short video, which gives a quick overview of some tests done to test gum’s effect on bad breath. 

Scientists looked at the effects of gum flavored with mint, cinnamon, and eucalyptus – as well as plain unflavored gum. Turns out all of the gums helped, likely by encouraging the flow of saliva. Drinking water helps too, as does good oral hygiene. If your bad breath is more persistent, come see us for an exam. You may need treatment for gum disease, dry mouth, or other conditions that cause chronic bad breath.
