About 1 in 4 people suffer from bad breath during their day. To avoid this, there are a multitude of tips. Here are our best tips for fresh breath that lasts.
Choose the right toothpaste
Each solution has its solution! And to answer it best, just turn to the right product. Anti-tartar, whitening, sensitive gums … there is now a huge range of different toothpastes. Whatever you are looking for, if you are claiming better breath, opt for a menthol paste. Mint is indeed ideal for a feeling of freshness on the palate. However, other ingredients are just as effective, like some essential oils (eucalyptus, lemon, tea tree, peppermint, clary sage, cloves, and even cinnamon bark). For our part, therefore, we recommend the organic certified Natural Freshness toothpaste imagined by Signal. It has everything to please people looking for good oral hygiene. Guaranteeing perfect protection of our teeth, it helps keep breathless with a minty taste. Finally, another rather attractive point: its composition 100% natural. A real plus!

Brush your teeth (correctly) …
You will understand: the basis for good breath is of course to brush your teeth, at least twice a day. Either every morning and every evening. The ideal would be to brush your teeth after each of our repass. But it is true that it is not always easy when we are outside our home. In these complicated moments, you can count on chewable toothpaste tablets that do not require water or a toothbrush! Example with the Mint chewable toothpaste from Frescoryl Nature (15.55 euros for 30 tablets on amazon.fr)
Brushing your teeth is one thing … but brushing your teeth CORRECTly is another. Because brushing is not effective and promises good breath only if it is well done. Little reminder: brushing your teeth must last at least 2 minutes and be done with rotary movements. Also, imagine a very precise route in order to not forget any part of your teeth!
… and the language!
Brushing your teeth is clearly part of our morning and evening routine. On the other hand, washing your tongue, much less! And yet it can be a cause of bad breath. So consider using a gentle mouthwash like the Daily alcohol-free mouthwash Listerine (13.16 euros on amazon.fr)
Always carry mint lozenges with you
If you are at home, in case of bad breath, just brush your teeth. When we are outside, we can rather bet on a small mint tablet. A tip that works, no matter the situation! So we slip a box of famous mint and eucalytus gums Valda in our handbag, and we chew one when we feel the need.
Mint and eucalyptus gums, Valda – 4.38 euros (available on 1001pharmacies.com)
Avoid certain foods
We do not teach you: certain foods give bad breath for several hours. We therefore avoid this kind of ingredients when we do not want to have bad breath. Big red cross on anchovy, onion, coffee, curry, alcohol, chocolate, cheese, garlic, cabbage and chilli.
