1. Go to a dentist. He will check for cavities and gum disease, clean your teeth, drill and fill any cavities. This is where the bacteria responsible for bad breath reside.
2. Fall in love with dental floss, and floss, brush your teeth before bed.
3. If you are financially able, invest in a quality alcohol-free mouthwash.
4. Finally, change your toothbrush at least every 3 months, preferably much sooner.

Mercylike, living like an agbero is how you got the terrible breath, now it is time to stop living ignorantly! Read this comment to help yourself.

Avoid late night food. It causes indigestion and oesophagus acid reflux ie heartburn. This is followed with an offensive mouth odour

Mercylike:
Is it normal to wake up and experience mouth odour?

I don't like talking to people very early especially when I just wake up bcoz there is this odour when I smell whenever I try to smell my own mouth..

Is it normal or it is something that has to be treated?

If i have brush, I don't have any odour from morning till night except for night to morning sleep..

It won’t smell if you brush and rinse your mouth with mouth wash before bed. And you also need to floss your teeth after meal

Always controversial

It is o. It should not be missed but I see from the thread that Nigerians still haven't caught up to the importance of regular dental cleaning.

Everybody papa mouth dey smell when dey wake up. All food particles for mouth dey decade before you wake up, so mouth must smell until your brush those decays out.

It's obvious you don't know some very simple things in life. Almost everyone wakes up with bad breath until after brushing. I don't like the way you replied that person you mentioned.

No need to send me these comments. Since you chose to believe bad breath is your normal, there is nothing to be done about it.

Mouth odour is as a result of
1) Bacteria activities
2) Untreated gastrointestinal disease.
If you close your mouth for a long time, the Bacteria secrets gases that contain alot of sulphide and hence the bad odour you perceive.
Steps to reduce mouth odour
1) Brushing in the morning and before you go to bed at night.
2) Use a tongue scrapper to scrap your tongue after brushing.
3) Buy non sugary chewing gums.
In fact, even if you miss brushing and you eat gums steady, it will greatly reduce the odour from your moth at least for that period.
