what kind of toothpaste is the best for getting rid of bad breath?

The BEST way to get rid of bad breath is to use a tongue scraper. It will pull all of the bacteria off your tongue and reduce bad odor.

You can buy a tongue scraper over the counter at most any food store or pharmacy. They cost about $1 and some change. Totally worth it and they last forever!!

Toothpaste and Toothbrush Question and Bad Breath?

Hi. I was wondering if you could tell me the best, most healthy, and environmentally friendly toothpaste and toothbrush on the market?
Seems like there are just so many now a days and all of these toothpastes contain bleaching and whitening elements, which just sound nasty and harmful.

Good observation on the toothpaste. Have you ever noticed that most toothpastes have poison warnings? Go ahead, check your tube. But it’s OK because we spit it out, right?! That’s ridiculous since the oral mucosa lining of the mouth has an absorption rate of 90%–even better than IVs.

I use the Thieves Toothpaste mentioned on the same site. I like the PLUS version because it contains more essential oils and seems stronger. But most people like the ULTRA version because the texture is most similar to what they are used to.

An ingredient in the vast majority of toothpastes is SLS. (Sodium Laurel Sulfate…originally created as an engine degreaser and now used in shampoos, etc as a foaming agent.) SLS has been shown to stimulate canker sores, cause allergic reactions, and slow development of eye proteins.

Don’t know about brushes. I use a Sonicare electric/ultrasonic/whatever.
