Do you wake up with an unpleasant feeling in your mouth and breath that’s far from fresh? This phenomenon, called morning halitosis, is mainly due to the decrease in saliva production during the night. As a result, bacteria proliferate and release malodorous compounds. Fortunately, there are simple and effective solutions to say goodbye to bad morning breath!
-
Stay hydrated, your mouth will thank you
Lack of hydration promotes dry mouth , which allows odor-causing bacteria to multiply. Drink enough water throughout the day and before going to bed to maintain optimal saliva production.
Tip : If you often have dry mouth at night, try sucking on an ice cube or chewing sugar-free gum to stimulate salivation.

Choose chewing gum over mints
Thinking you can mask your bad breath with mints ? Bad idea! They often contain sugar, which feeds the bacteria responsible for unpleasant odors.
Solution : Switch to sugar-free gum ! It stimulates saliva production and helps eliminate bacteria, while providing fresh breath.

Don’t neglect your visits to the dentist
Persistent bad breath can be a sign of dental problems such as plaque, tartar, or periodontitis . These conditions promote the buildup of smelly bacteria in the mouth.
