1. Apples
Apples are packed with crunchy fiber goodness and help remove particles of food stuck in your teeth. They also stimulate saliva production, which kills bacteria. Think of it this way – an apple a day can keep the odor away!

5. Herbs (basil, cilantro, mint, parsley, rosemary)

Herbs (especially parsley) contain essential oils that combat bad breath. Consuming/chewing on them in small doses is a temporary fix to mask the odor, but if you regularly add them to your diet, you can achieve long term benefits due to their levels of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll neutralizes internal body odors before they leave the body.

Planning to pucker up after chowing down on onions or garlic? Have some lemon! Lemon contains citric acid, which helps neutralize breath odor. To get the best benefit, eat the pulp.

7. Oranges

Any fruits that contain Vitamin C will help make your breath smell good. That’s because Vitamin C kills scent producing bacteria in your mouth. The more Vitamin C you consume, the more germs you will kill. Fruits high in Vitamin C are also usually juicy and provide your mouth with necessary moisture to knock bad breath.

There are some really great spices that you can suck/chew on to get rid of an odorous mouth, including fennel seeds, coriander seeds, and cardamom. They are similar to cinnamon in the regard that they contain essential oils that mask bad breath.

9. Water

This is my favorite one (and the “food” that is most readily available at a moment’s notice). As we all know, mouths produce saliva. Saliva contains oxygen and oxygen helps prevent the growth of bacteria. To keep saliva production going throughout the day, stay hydrated! Dry mouths will start to smell, so drink up.

The live active cultures in yogurt reduce stinky sulfites in your mouth. Not only that, but if included in your regular diet, yogurt will destroy unhealthy bacterial in your mouth and stomach. This will help prevent bad breath flare ups in the future.
