The disaster involved is outrageous. Many have suffered relationship breakups, loss of jobs, or clients. A breath stink always put off a conversation even before it begins.

Dehydration fouls your breath. Lack of saliva in the mouth changes the breath. Keep an odor-free mouth by drinking a glass of water. You should be able to drink a gallon of water daily. Drink water immediately you notice a smell. You can also eat foods with high water content like cucumber, watermelon, lettuce, tomatoes, etc. For cucumber, cut a slice and press to the roof of your mouth for better results.
Sodium Bicarbonate (baking soda)
The level of alkaline in the soda is sufficient enough to wipe out the bacteria that have developed bases and acids in the mouth. These acids are responsible for bad breath. Mix two teaspoons of sodium in warm water (as desired). Gargle the contents and spit out after 30 seconds. Repeat the process till satisfaction.

You have to be careful with this process so as not to injure yourself. Scrape gently but firmly. The process is quite easy.
Orange or lemon recipe

You can choose to either use a lemon or lime. Slice into quarter parts and suck them after another. You can also drink lemon juice or drink. Lemons also stimulate the salivary gland.
