• Mouthwash is very important to kill any existing germs in your mouth.
• Eating yogurt or any other dairy based product in breakfast is a good idea to produce good bacteria in your guts.
During Dinner

• Avoid food having ingredients that can cause bad breath such as garlic and onions.
• Drink lots of water during dinner.
