| Kiss Bad Breath
Good-Bye
Bad breath is a surefire
way to send potential
suitors scrambling for the
exits. Chances are, that
yummy chicken you enjoyed at
lunch is still hanging
around in your mouth, which
can cause
less-than-pleasant-smelling
bacteria to form, especially
on your tongue.
Our bad-breath weapon of
choice is a tongue scraper,
which some say resembles a
medieval torture implement
but is actually a disposable
U-shaped plastic tool with
tiny ridges on one side.
It's very easy to use, and
it will help clear away any
leftover food and
odor-causing bacteria that
have settled on your tongue.
Starting at the back of your
mouth, gently drag the
scraper along your tongue
two or three times, rinsing
it in between each pass.
Follow up by drinking a
glass of water to flush out
any other bacteria that have
formed in your mouth. |
