The person brushes regularly,floss and uses a tongue scraper.

Drinking lots of water wouldn't hurt, either.

I've heard liquid chlorophyll can help w/ bad breath and even b.o.? Which is the best brand to get (or are they all the same?)? And how do I go about using it for the bad breath and b.o.? Do I just follow the instructions on the bottle? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
I use World Organic Liquid Chlorophyll, they have it with and without a mint flavor. Yes just follow the instructions on the bottle, you can also just use it as a mouth rinse to strengthen your gums if needed. It taste pretty nasty, and be careful because it is really green and it can stain clothing. (It cost between $4-$8)

is there any home remedy to cure bad breath?

rinse your mouth with hydrogen peroxide for about 10 minutes,three times a day.
You might need to see a doctor,you may have a stomach problem.
See a dentist too,cavities or rotton teeth can cause it too.

First, find the source of the problem,then seek a dentist's advice on how to treat it well the dentist should be able to help to find the cause. Apart from improper brushing of both the teeth and tongue, bad breath could also be as a result not urinating when the bladder indicates the need and so this causes the bladder to stretch leaving residues of urine in the bladder even after one pees. Also bad breath can result when one eats a lot of spicey foods and don't floss,brush properly and gargle with an oral antiseptic wash. I could say more but first check with the dentist.

… BESIDES visiting a dentist for halitosis.. I'm talking about short term cures.. like after smoking, drinking, etc.

What is a highly effective method for eliminating the nasty odor of onions after having eaten them? Is there an excellent mouthwash, toothpaste, or chewing gum out there that can make one’s breath smell fresh after eating anything strong smelling…i.e. tuna, salad with dressing, onions, etc? Typically, I avoid onions, garlic, etc. But occasionally, I like to eat them. What I usually do is brush my teeth about four times after the meal…it works, to an extent. But I don’t just brush my teeth- I also lightly brush my tongue as well. Any ideas or suggestions?
Eat fresh parsley

1. The most effective treatment for bad breath is proper oral hygiene. This includes brushing your teeth at least twice a day and flossing once daily. See your dentist to have cavities filled up promptly and any gum diseases (bleeding, gingivitis, etc.) rectified.

2. A dry mouth is more prone to bad breath than a moist mouth. Drinking plenty of water or chewing sugarless mints is helpful as it stimulates saliva production, keeping the mouth moist.

3. Onions, garlic, deli meats and some types of cheese are known to cause bad breath. Avoid them whenever possible to keep your breath fresh.

4. Look for a mouthwash containing thymol and eucalyptus oil. Both these ingredients are effective against the bacteria that cause bad breath. Also, avoid mouthwash and toothpaste containing the amino acid cysteine.

5. If you have chronic bad breath then include dietary supplements along with your food such as Vitamins C and E, zinc, coenzyme Q10, and folic acid. A baking soda rinse is another home remedy that works well.

There are a number of little-known ways you can both stop and cure bad breath permanently. Just keep a look out for the ones that work for you.

I really enjoy onions but know they cause bad breath. How can I eat onions and socialize without offending? What really works? Sometimes even brushing doesn't work.

I have a 5 year old poopom and her breath is so bad even the cat, who is bigger and badder hides. I have tried every known product but nothing works. We love Brandy very much but a face to face is impossible. Can anyone HELP?

The best thing for doggie breath is making sure her teeth and gums are healthy by having a vet check every 6 months. There are products on the market that will aid in your brushing your dog's teeth, but if you don't feel confident enough to do that, the next best thing is to find a vet that cleans dogs' teeth.
Some home remedies include: feeding your dog only fresh dry dog food, no people food and no soft food. The best way to get to this point without starving the dog is to gradually wean the dog off of the soft foods and onto dry food. If her gums or teeth are too far gone for dry food only, then you will need to discuss with your vet the best plan of action to take for the sake of your dog's dental health. Giving your dog an occasional bone will also help. Make sure it is a safe bone, no chicken nor pork bones that will shatter and splinter! Make sure the bone is large enough that the dog won't swallow it whole either. There are some really good nyla bones and other products like it that are suppose to help with breath issues.
Bottom line is that if your dog has really bad breath, that speaks volumes about her general health. It really is a problem that needs to be addressed with your vet.
