Default Re: mouthwash vs breath mints

I use the antibacterial mouthwash to prevent gum disease. Believe me, it really works, especially in combination with flossing. But I'm not so sure it cures bad breath more the temporarily. Probably works as long as your breath mints. Try brushing your tongue to see if that helps.

Bad breath can also be caused by gum disease, oral infection, and stomach problems. Next time you go to the dentist, ask him what he recommends.

PS Dentists don't like antibacterial mouthwash, but I swear by it & so does the MD who recommended it to me.
