What can I do at home to stop bad breath?

Seven Steps to Healthy Gums and Clean Breath

1. Plan. Sit down with your dental professional and together
develop a plan for regularly scheduled check-ups and
at-home maintenance.

2. Brush. Brush your teeth with Chlorine Dioxide toothpaste
two times a day or as recommended. Also brush your
tongue, gums and roof of your mouth. For better results use
a sonic or electric toothbrush (ask your dental professional for a
recommendation.)

3. Floss. Floss your teeth at least once a day using Chlorine Dioxide toothpaste.
Using your toothbrush or syringe, apply the paste between your teeth. Then floss
gently.

4. Scrape. Because volatile sulfur compounds are most commonly found on the
tongue, use of a toothbrush or tongue scraper will help remove these irritants.
Gently scrape your tongue, reaching as far back as is comfortable to remove the
accumulated white coating. Also use the Chlorine Dioxide toothpaste when
brushing your tongue.

5. Rinse. Rinse your mouth with water.

6. Rinse. Rinse vigorously. Swish Chlorine Dioxide oral rinse between teeth for at
least 30 seconds. For better results use an irrigator to flush away the debris
loosened during tongue scraping and tooth brushing, then swish the rinse back
and forth between your teeth.

7. Gargle. Using about a tablespoon of fresh Chlorine Dioxide rinse, gargle for 60
seconds. Do not rinse with water. Allow the Chlorine Dioxide to continue its
cleansing action.
