How can you beat bad breath?

À propos de cet épisode

“Good manners and bad breath get you nowhere”, sang Elvis Costello in his 1981 hit New Lace Sleeves. And it’s true that halitosis, the scientific term for bad breath, can become a real source of shame and embarrassment when you realise or suspect you have it.  What’s more, brushing your teeth properly twice a day won’t necessarily stop it from happening to you. And neither will the chewing gum, mints or dissolving strips that are often marketed to us as breath-freshening in order to build on our bad breath insecurity. To put it simply, there’s no such thing as a miracle cure, even if it’s a so-called revolutionary mouthwash or expensive dietary supplement. Are there any tried and tested solutions then? If that doesn’t solve it, will a dentist be able to help with my bad breath? What about diet - does that have any affect on our breath? Is bad breath always caused by lifestyle choices then?
