Chewing gum, who?
Ready to freshen up? When it comes to dental hygiene, we know to brush our teeth twice a day, floss and even add some mouthwash into the mix. However, it’s not just these classic steps that’ll ensure you’ve got minty fresh breath: there are also natural remedies you can take, including enjoying a juicy piece of fruit.
Still thinking of reaching for the chewing gum? It might temporarily mask odours, but it doesn’t do much for your gum health and, in turn, breath freshness. ‘Chewing gum, on the other hand, may temporarily mask odours but doesn’t address the root cause. Second, apples contain natural enzymes that help neutralise odorous compounds in the mouth, whereas chewing gum often contains artificial flavours and sugars that can contribute to bacterial growth and bad breath over time,’ Dr Tim notes.
