Bad breath:our tips for (finally) getting rid of it

Unpleasant aftertaste in the early morning or very insistent or even recurring offer of chewing gum from your relatives and colleagues, bad breath is an everyday hassle that spares no one. Despite good oral hygiene, it can still make our lives (and especially those of our interlocutors) a nauseating hell. To finally get rid of it, or failing that, try to mitigate it, Biba reveals three alternatives to fight against this evil of the century – see humanity.

– The eco-friendly and sustainable alternative:the copper tongue scraper

Even if its minimalist design slightly reminds us of the dentist's tools, the tongue scraper is still the best value for money ally for fresh breath. As effective as it is easy to use, it is used morning and evening to clean the bacterial residues on the tongue. Its copper material prevents oxidation and therefore makes it possible to keep this dental object acclaimed by Ayurvedic gurus for eternity, or almost. If you prefer it in eco-friendly quality in a pretty satin case at atonguecleanerchangedmylife , it is also easily found in pharmacies at a lower cost.

Copper Tongue Cleaner, atonguecleanerchangedmylife, €16.

– The natural alternative:essential oils

Relevant response to a quest for transparency in health products, essential oils are on the rise and have been gradually returning to our medicine cabinets in recent years. Their strengths? They prove to be an effective and natural solution to solve almost all our little everyday ailments. To fight against bad breath, they are sold in packs (Compagnie Des Sens) of three essential oils with very distinct properties:peppermint is antibacterial, cardamom, antioxidant and finally lemon is a digestive ally. To use them wisely, simply place a drop of each on our toothbrush or tongue before each brushing.

Pack of organic “fresh breath” essential oils, La Compagnie des Sens, €14.40.

– The minute alternative

More of a nudge than a real dental solution, the mouth spray can still be very practical due to its ease of use and its range of flavors. A "pschitt" when the appearance of bad breath is felt and the problem - of the smell at least - is solved. We still recommend using it as a backup plan, in addition to a more targeted treatment. (Like the tongue scraper or oils.)

Oral spray, Fluocaril, €3.59.
