Lifestyle and home remedies
Try the following steps to improve or prevent bad breath:
* Brush your teeth after you eat. Keep a toothbrush at work to brush after eating. Be sure to brush at least twice a day, for two to three minutes at a time.
* Floss at least once a day. Proper flossing removes food particles and plaque from between your teeth.
* Brush your tongue. Giving your tongue a gentle brushing removes dead cells, bacteria and food debris. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush or a flexible tongue scraper. Try to clean as far back as you can without gagging because the bacteria tend to collect toward the back.
* Clean your dentures well. If you wear a bridge or a partial or complete denture, clean it thoroughly at least once a day or as directed by your dentist.
* Drink plenty of water. To keep your mouth moist, be sure to consume plenty of water — not coffee, soft drinks or alcohol. Chewing gum (preferably sugarless) or sucking on candy (preferably sugarless) also stimulates saliva, washing away food particles and bacteria. If you have chronic dry mouth, your dentist or doctor may additionally prescribe an artificial saliva preparation or an oral medication that stimulates the flow of saliva.
* Use a fairly new toothbrush. Change your toothbrush every three to four months, and choose a soft-bristled toothbrush.
* Schedule regular dental checkups. At least twice a year, see your dentist to have your teeth or dentures examined and cleaned.
* Chew fresh parsley or suck on a sugarless mint. Doing so may temporarily improve bad breath.
You can teach your school-age children to brush and floss their teeth regularly and to brush their tongues to prevent bad breath. But, don't let children use mouthwash, because many mouthwash products contain alcohol and can pose a risk for children if swallowed.

This is not a home remedy but it is very close to it. First, you must understand that most bad breath comes from bacteria that grow on the top of the tongue. You can often see this bacteria as a white film on the top of your tongue, especially on the back of the tongue. This white stuff must be remove to get rid of bad breath. I use an OraBrush tongue cleaner because it is both a brush and a scraper. Here is the website if you wish to learn more:
