Quick Remedies for Bad Breath

Are you one of those people that goes to a social event and within a moments you notice that you're breath doesn't smell right? Or are you in a meeting and you're supposed to meet with one of the big wigs in the company? At these types of gatherings, it will be impossible to not talk. You will have to put on your thinking cap and find some quick remedies to get rid of your bad breath.

Here are some ways that you can save yourself from embarrassment:

Drink water. Water can help to clean your mouth for a period of time. Your breath will be fresh. It will help you if you have to talk to someone on a moment's notice. Or if you feel you have dry mouth, then drink water to keep your mouth moist.

Dry mouth and bad breath work hand in hand because of the bacteria that form inside. To give the water flavor, squeeze some juice from a lemon or a lime.

Having a piece of candy or gum can also help you at the last minute. If you can find a piece, quickly put it in your mouth. Your breath will be fresh at least for that period of time. If you start talking, don't have the piece of candy swirling in your mouth.

In addition to drinking water, you can also use water to rinse your mouth. If you do this on a regular basis.

If you have a toothbrush handy, you can quickly brush your teeth and use clean tissue to wipe off the residue. This is a good strategy if you haven't made it to your destination and you're not near a rest room.

You can quickly scrape your tongue with a scraper or a spoon. The thing about doing this is you will have to go somewhere in private. If you can find a bathroom, then you can attempt to do this. If you have any white spots on your tongue, remove them with the scraper or the spoon.

If you don't have any mints or gum while you're out eating, you can eat the parsley that is used for decoration with your meal. Don't do this in front of anyone. Excuse yourself and go to the bathroom.

Chew on the parsley for a few minutes. You may have to rinse out your mouth before you go back. You don't want people to see any green particles on your teeth.

If you drink alcohol, you'll like this one. If you drink a small shot of whiskey, you can get away with getting rid of your bad breath for a while. It's been said that whiskey can get rid of germs that are on your teeth. This is not a promotion of drinking alcohol, but it's been said to work, so it's your choice whether or not you want to try this. The only caution is not to drink a lot of it, or you could become rather intoxicated.
