How To Get Rid Of Morning Breath In Less Than 45 Seconds Per Day

Stats About Morning Breath

Approximately 35% of the world’s population has a chronic, noticeable breath condition which usually leads them to seek help from a professional (which may often be incorrect.) This first group has bad breath concerns 24 hours a day, including, taste disorders, dry mouth, and of course morning breath.

Another 35% of people are “borderline” – meaning that their breath seems fresh throughout the day, but they can easily reach “chronic” levels – if they eat certain foods (dairy, alcohol, sugars), after taking medication (antihistamines, antidepressants, high blood pressure medication) and always when they wake up – in other words, morning breath.

The remaining 30% rarely worry about their breath. The only exceptions are when they eat garlic and onions, or upon wakening – in other words, morning breath…

So what’s going on with morning breath? The thing is, just about EVERYONE has morning breath to some degree or another!

As we sleep throughout the night, our salivary glands slow down (for some older people, they shut down completely!) because our brain knows we are not eating. This slowdown, combined with the constant flow of air over our palate (for those of us who are snorers or mouth breathers) makes for a very DRY environment on the tongue, within our oral cavity and in the throat (the breeding grounds of the anaerobic sulfur-producing bacteria that cause bad breath and taste disorders).

As it was discussed in the article about dry mouth, this creates an environment that is very conducive for ‘morning breath’. (Saliva is nature’s way of protecting us from bad breath, because healthy saliva contains high concentrations of oxygen – the natural enemy of anaerobic bacteria.) So if you get morning breath after a good night’s sleep, don’t worry – you’re not alone!

Reduce Volatile Sulfur Compounds Levels and Eliminate Morning Breath But what most people don’t know (and this includes most medical and dental professionals), is that morning breath is NOT something that you have to live with.

The key is to find a way to stop the production of VSC’s (volatile sulfur compounds) during the night as you are asleep. One way is to increase the production of saliva within the back of your throat and mouth during the night. But this is very difficult to do – after all, you’re asleep! Furthermore, those of us who are mouth breathers are drying out the back of our throats with each breath that we take throughout the night.

A better and easier way is to stop the production of volatile sulfur compounds by the bacteria that create morning breath – and this is exactly what the Therabreath AktivOxigen Tablets are designed to do!

AktivOxigen Tablets are small, highly concentrated bad breath eliminators. They were created in response to customers’ demands for an effective oral rinse that reached the deep recesses of the throat and tonsil area.

To use AktivOxigen Tablets, just dissolve 1 or 2 tablets (depending on the severity of the problem you are trying to correct) in regular tap water in the included 8 oz. mixing bottle. Shake well for about 10 seconds and you will have a powerful, unflavored oral rinse that will destroy the bad breath bacteria on contact.

What makes this rinse so effective is that you can actually swallow the resulting solution and slowly let it run down the back of your throat and tonsils. If you do this right before bedtime, this coats your throat for the entire night and virtually eliminates morning breath.

AktivOxigen Tablets are easy to use and affordable – and they are the best way I know for the average person to rid themselves of morning breath.

Also, for those of you who suffer from Tonsiloliths (that’s the scientific term for those nasty odorous globs growing deep in the crypts of your tonsils) or congested sinuses will find instant relief from using the combination of AktivOxigen Tablets, and Nasal Sinus Drops. Nasal Sinus Drops are potent drops you put in your nose that slowly trickle through your sinuses and down your throat destroying the bad breath bacteria on contact.

How To Get Rid Of Bad Breath With These Tools

Keeping your breath smelling fresh should be a priority for everyone. If people figure out that you have bad breath or halitosis, they will not want to interact with you at all. However, if you use the proper tools to cure bad breath, you can lead a normal social life.

Many people have digestive halitosis. In this situation, problems with the digestive enzymes is the bad breath cause. However, for most people, the bacteria in their mouth is the bad breath cause. Fortunately, there are many options for a bad breath solution. A good natural cure for bad breath is to regularly keep your mouth clean. But there are many myths that can steer you in the wrong direction. So you should consider each bad breath solution very carefully. However, if you want to increase your chances of learning how to get rid of bad breath, you should have the following tools:

Toothbrush: A tool that everyone should have is a toothbrush. The first toothbrushes were made more than 200 years ago. By using a toothbrush, you can remove the food particles that get caught in your teeth, tongue, and cheeks. This is vital because halitosis-causing bacteria thrive in these food particles. Toothbrushes are an effective way to cure bad breath.

Toothpaste: Halitosis can also result from periodontal diseases. Therefore, if you make a concerted effort to keep your teeth and gums healthy, you can lower your chances of getting halitosis. Making sure that your teeth are clean is easy. You just have to use a toothpaste that contains fluoride. You can fight bacteria and stop diseases from attacking your gums by using one of the medicated toothpastes that are available.

Brushing advice: You should thoroughly brush for two to three minutes. Attempt to clean all parts of your mouth. The bristles of the toothbrush should be at a 45-degree angle to your gums. Use gentle strokes and move your toothbrush back and forth. Carefully clean the teeth surfaces. Also try to clean areas such as the tongue, cheeks, and lips.

Tongue scraper: There are small hair-like projections that can trap food particles and plaque. They can increase the amount of halitosis-causing bacteria that resides on your tongue. You can purchase a device called a tongue scraper that can help scrap off the build-up of food particles and plaque. This is an effective way to cure bad breath so you should incorporate this into your daily oral hygiene routine. A similar function can be performed with a toothbrush. However, the way tongue scrapers are designed allows them to more effectively cure bad breath. Another name for tongue scraper is tongue cleaner.

Tongue cleaning advice: Initially, you may experience a tough time trying to clean the back of the tongue. The difficulty arises from the gag reflex that may occur as you reach toward the back of the mouth. However, after a while, you will get used to reaching toward the back of your mouth. While you are cleaning, you should apply steady pressure and use long strokes. Also make sure to clean the entire tongue, including the tip, back, and sides.

You should gently scrape off the bacterial plaque from your tongue. If you use too much force, you may damage the tissues in your tongue which may make your halitosis worse. In order to lessen the severity of your halitosis, you can try using some oxygenating toothpaste. Place a layer of this toothpaste on your tongue and leave it there for about 90 seconds. This will allow oxygen to get into the tongue tissues which will reduce the amount of bacteria that is ruining your breath.

Dental floss: This tool should be utilized along with the other ones that were mentioned previously. Dental floss can remove the food particles and plaque that are hiding in the gaps of your teeth. A toothbrush may not be able to remove these items from the hard-to-reach places between your teeth.

If you follow the rules for proper oral hygiene, you will have an effective natural cure for bad breath. By using the tools that I have already mentioned, you will have what is necessary to cure bad breath. This should indicate that finding a way to cure bad breath is not as hard as people say it is.
