These include increasing your water intake to wash away built-up bacteria in the mouth and pharynx area, scraping and cleansing your tongue, and brushing more often to free any food that is trapped that may be exacerbating the issue. Speaking of your tongue, the state of it can tell a lot about your health. It should be pink with no discolorations and free from any thick or white coating.
However, even in the healthiest of mouths the tongue can provide a place for bacteria to build, resulting in less than inviting breath. If you have had an issue with odor, take extra care to keep the tongue clean and take note of which foods you may be ingesting that tend to linger long after they have been eaten.
