Improve your oral hygiene routine
Brushing your teeth isn’t always enough! For a truly clean mouth:
- Use dental floss to remove food debris between your teeth.
- Clean your tongue with a tongue scraper or your toothbrush, as it retains many bacteria.
- Rinse your mouth with an alcohol-free antibacterial mouthwash before going to bed.
Adopting these simple actions significantly reduces the proliferation of bacteria responsible for bad nighttime breath.

Pay attention to your diet
Some foods leave traces long after they’ve been eaten! Garlic, onions, coffee, and even alcohol are known to leave a lasting odor on your breath for several hours.
Additionally, low-carb diets can cause so-called “keto breath ,” due to the release of volatile compounds in the mouth.
Solution : Choose foods rich in fiber , such as crunchy vegetables (carrots, celery), which stimulate saliva production and help naturally clean the mouth.
