So let&rsquo;s find out why your breath gets bad and what we can do about it.\n</p><h3>What causes morning breath\n</h3><p><img fetchpriority='\"high\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-full' wp-image-33793 aligncenter src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2022%5C/01%5C/bad-morning-breath-1.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"728\"' height='\"447\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/inovatestory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/bad-morning-breath-1.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>Your dentist probably warned you that if you don\u2019t brush and floss daily, it can make your breath smell. But there are actually more things that can cause less-than-fresh breath aside from poor oral hygiene.\n</p><ul>\n<li><strong>Dry mouth: Saliva washes away bacteria that cause bad breath, and because we have less saliva when we sleep, many of us wake up to morning breath.\n<li><strong>Certain foods: Our eating habits affect our breath, and while we can benefit from food like onions and garlic in many ways, they\u2019re also to blame for that not-so-minty-fresh breath in the morning.\n<li><strong>Some health conditions: Many people suffering from acid reflux, a condition that causes a backward flow of stomach contents, often experience bad breath.\n\n<h3>How to get rid of morning breath\n<h4>1. Don\u2019t use mouthwash after every brush.\n<figure id='\"attachment_33794\"' aria-describedby='\"caption-attachment-33794\"' style='\"width:' class='\"wp-caption' aligncenter><img decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-full' wp-image-33794 src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2022%5C/01%5C/bad-morning-breath-2.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"728\"' height='\"563\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/inovatestory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/bad-morning-breath-2.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'><figcaption id='\"caption-attachment-33794\"' class='\"wp-caption-text\"'>\u00a9 Shutterstock.com, \u00a9 Depositphotos.com\n<p>While it\u2019s true that mouthwash will make your breath smell fresh for a short time, it can also dry out your mouth. Most mouthwashes contain alcohol, and it affects your mouth\u2019s natural production of saliva. Because the body typically produces less saliva at night, dead cells that accumulate on your tongue and gums don\u2019t get removed and cause you to wake up to bad breath.\n</p><h4>2. Don\u2019t sleep with your mouth open.\n<figure id='\"attachment_33795\"' aria-describedby='\"caption-attachment-33795\"' style='\"width:' class='\"wp-caption' aligncenter><img decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-full' wp-image-33795 src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2022%5C/01%5C/bad-morning-breath-3.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"728\"' height='\"593\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/inovatestory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/bad-morning-breath-3.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'><figcaption id='\"caption-attachment-33795\"' class='\"wp-caption-text\"'>\u00a9 Shutterstock.com, \u00a9 Depositphotos.com\n<p>Many of us breathe through our mouths while we sleep, and this also can cause dryness and encourage bacteria to settle. In fact, mouth-breathing can even lead to dental decay and bleeding gums, in addition to chronic bad breath. This happens because when we breathe through the mouth, it affects the oral pH balance and changes the types of bacteria in our oral environment. Some dentists even suggest mouth-taping as a way to solve this problem.\n</p><h4>3. Give oil pulling a try.\n<figure id='\"attachment_33796\"' aria-describedby='\"caption-attachment-33796\"' style='\"width:' class='\"wp-caption' aligncenter><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-full' wp-image-33796 src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2022%5C/01%5C/bad-morning-breath-4.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"728\"' height='\"511\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/inovatestory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/bad-morning-breath-4.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'><figcaption id='\"caption-attachment-33796\"' class='\"wp-caption-text\"'>\u00a9 Depositphotos.com, \u00a9 Shutterstock.com\n<p>This method of breath-freshening originated in India and has been proven to whiten your teeth and improve your dental health. Take a tablespoon of oil and swish it around your mouth for 15-20 minutes. Bacteria that cause bad breath adhere to the oil and dissolve in it. You can use any oil, but many people prefer coconut or olive oil due to the pleasant taste.\n</p><h4>4. Be careful with coffee.\n<figure id='\"attachment_33797\"' aria-describedby='\"caption-attachment-33797\"' style='\"width:' class='\"wp-caption' aligncenter><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-full' wp-image-33797 src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2022%5C/01%5C/bad-morning-breath-4a.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"728\"' height='\"511\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/inovatestory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/bad-morning-breath-4a.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'><figcaption id='\"caption-attachment-33797\"' class='\"wp-caption-text\"'>\u00a9 Unsplash.com, \u00a9 Unsplash.com\n<p>While many of us can\u2019t imagine facing the day before we get our morning cup of coffee, our beloved beverage might be to blame for our morning breath. Coffee has a drying effect, which causes the body to produce less saliva. Many people also add milk or cream to their coffee, and dairy products often trigger bad breath.\n</p><h4>5. Don\u2019t forget to brush your tongue.\n<figure id='\"attachment_33798\"' aria-describedby='\"caption-attachment-33798\"' style='\"width:' class='\"wp-caption' aligncenter><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-full' wp-image-33798 src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2022%5C/01%5C/bad-morning-breath-5.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"728\"' height='\"511\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/inovatestory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/bad-morning-breath-5.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'><figcaption id='\"caption-attachment-33798\"' class='\"wp-caption-text\"'>\u00a9 Depositphotos.com, \u00a9 Depositphotos.com\n<p>Much like your teeth, your tongue can also harbor bacteria that make your breath smell. If you don\u2019t brush your tongue, bacteria in your mouth will multiply, causing you to wake up to bad breath. You don\u2019t necessarily need a tongue scraper to clean your tongue \u2014 a regular soft-bristled toothbrush can get the job done.\n</p><h4>6. Notice how you breathe.\n<figure id='\"attachment_33799\"' aria-describedby='\"caption-attachment-33799\"' style='\"width:' class='\"wp-caption' aligncenter><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-full' wp-image-33799 src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2022%5C/01%5C/bad-morning-breath-6.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"728\"' height='\"728\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/inovatestory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/bad-morning-breath-6.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'><figcaption id='\"caption-attachment-33799\"' class='\"wp-caption-text\"'>\u00a9 Shutterstock.com\n<p>You may not even realize that you\u2019re breathing through your mouth throughout the day, but this habit can cause your breath to smell. Although the body typically produces more saliva during the day, mouth-breathing will still dry out your oral environment. In addition to bad breath, this habit can lead to various diseases, such as tooth cavities and ear infections.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"</p><p>The fragrance that comes from our mouths as soon as we wake up is familiar to most of us.
