my boyfriend has a litlle problem with bad breath, what causes it and what are the cures for it besides gum?

bad breath may sometimes be caused by the foods you eat, but often its the work of germs in your mouth which are found naturally.

you can decrease this by using antiseptics such as listerine, which will actually kill the germs that cause bad breath (just like the commercial). they now have them in little "to-go" packs which dissolve in your mouth. Brushing your teeth after meals will also decrease bacteria in the mouth.

Typically gum will not do anything, other than temporarily mask the odor. Worse, if it's one with sugar, all you're doing is providing more food for the bacteria.
