Bad Breath: Frequently Asked Questions
Does Chewing Gum or Mints Really Help Banish Bad Breath?
Yes and no. Since bad breath is often caused by dry mouth, chewing sugar-free gum can be a great way to get those saliva glands going. It helps to flush out bacteria and usher unwanted food particles from your mouth. Gums, candies and mints that are loaded with sugar, however, are not going to help.
What is halitosis (a.k.a. bad breath)?
Most bad breath is caused by poor oral hygiene. If you don’t clean your teeth and your whole mouth regularly, food particles can remain in your mouth and a sticky buildup of bacteria (also known as plaque) can form on your teeth. The uneven surface of your tongue as well as your tonsils can trap food particles and bacteria in the mouth which produce bad breath odor. Poor oral hygiene also causes other oral health conditions such as cavities and gum disease which are also associated with bad breath. Keeping a consistent and thorough oral care routine is the best defense against bad breath.

Ever wondered where Listerine rinse got its name?
Dr. Joseph Lawrence, the creator of Listerine mouthwash, wanted to name his work after a scientist who paved the way. Lister, an English doctor and surgeon, became the first surgeon to perform an operation in a chamber sterilized with pulverized antiseptic. The result? More patients survived than ever before. Inspired, Lawrence created a unique formulation of his own that was perfect for dispatch germs in tissues, like your mouth.
