People wondering how to avoid bad breath will find their best shot is with a stricter dental hygiene routine. In addition to brushing your teeth after every meal and flossing every day, a good dental care routine should involve a professional cleaning every 3-6 months.

This should keep plaque at minimal levels and slow down bacterial growths inside your mouth, preventing bad breath.
