ArRahmanCakes:
A dry mouth is also the reason why we
have bad breath first thing in the
morning compared to later in the day.
Our salivary flow drastically decreases
whilst we are sleeping causing dry
mouth and thus leading to bad breath
for the reasons explained above. This is
worse in people who tend to sleep with
their mouth open. It is therefore
imperative to ensure we clean our
mouths properly before going to bed to
limit the number of bacteria in the
mouth.
The examples of dry mouth above are all
temporary e.g. whilst fasting or sleeping,
however if you suffer from dry mouth
persistently it is important you consult
your GP or Dentist as there is usually an
underlying problem. The medical term
for persistent dry mouth is known as
Xerostomia and has a number of causes
ranging from side effects from
medication, diabetes and post cancer
treatments.
How do we beat it?
Maintaining good oral hygiene
The things that we can do to reduce bad
breath both during Ramaḍān and
throughout the year should now be
obvious and the reasoning should be
easier to understand. We have
established that the main cause of bad
breath is poor oral hygiene. Therefore
the main treatment for bad breath is to
ensure we maintain good oral hygiene
cleansing the mouth of bacteria and
food remnants. Below are the current
recommended evidence based
guidelines in maintaining good oral
hygiene as set out by the department of
health toolkit “Delivering better oral
health 2014”[8]
– Brushing using a fluoride (1350ppm)
toothpaste should occur twice daily as
a minimum – clean teeth last thing at
night before bed and at least one other
time each day
– Brushing should last for two minutes
ensuring you brush all tooth surfaces
including gum margins
– Patients who are not correctly
brushing their teeth with a manual
toothbrush should try to switch to an
electric tooth brush where studies have
shown electric toothbrushes can
significantly improve their cleaning.
(Discuss your brushing technique with
your dentist before moving to an
electric toothbrush).
Alongside brushing your teeth, studies
have also shown using floss, interdental
TePe brushes, tongue cleaners and anti-
bacterial mouthwashes can disturb the
plaque in your mouth and remove food
remnants thus reducing bad breath.
During fasting, Muslims can brush their
teeth with toothpaste as long as they do
not intentionally ingest the toothpaste. It
is also possible to use mouthwash as
long as the mouthwash is not ingested.
Brushing twice a day with the correct
use of a mouthwash during Ramaḍān
and throughout the year should
significantly reduce bad breath from
occurring.
Recommended mouth wash specifically
for bad breath?
Studies have shown a mouthwash called
CB12 has significantly reduced bad
breath in patients.
The active ingredients in CB12 are zinc
acetate and chlorhexidine (anti-
bacterial). Zinc acetate is used to
neutralise and prevent production of the
VCSs (foul odour gases) from exhaled air.
Small amounts of chlorhexidine are used
to break down the sulphur gas
molecules by interacting on their bond
strength.[9]
Tongue Cleaning
Gently cleaning the tongue twice daily is
another effective way to keep bad
breath in control; that can be achieved
using a tongue scraper or a separate
tongue toothbrush to wipe off the
bacterial biofilm, debris, and mucus. Ask
your dentist to recommend a scraper for
your tongue.[10] Brushing a small
amount of saltwater onto the tongue
surface will further inhibit bacterial
action. Eating a healthy breakfast with
rough foods helps clean the very back of
the tongue too.[11]
Overcoming dry mouth during fasting –
To minimise the effects of having a dry
mouth during fasting which, as
discussed earlier, can intensify bad
breath, a person fasting must ensure
they ;
– Drink plenty of water out of the hours
of fasting, drinking small sips but in
regular frequency.
– They can rinse out their mouth with
water (as long as no water is
swallowed intentionally), most Muslims
will perform this act three times each
time they perform wudu (ablution)
before offering obligatory prayers.
– Use Miswāk to stimulate salivary flow.
– Speak to their GP /Pharmacist to
check if any of their medication is
causing dry mouth.

You will observe the prayer by mentioning the name of the prospective sister you are about to seek her hand in marriage in the place of the Intention.

Assuming the sister's name is Lateefah, the prayer will goes as follow:

(O Allah, I seek Your help in finding out the best course of action (in this matter) by invoking Your knowledge; I ask You to empower me, and I beseech Your favor. You alone have the absolute power, while I have no power. You alone know it all, while I do not. You are the One Who knows the hidden mysteries. O Allah, if You know this thing (I am embarking on) [my Nikkah with Lateefah] is good for me in my religion, worldly life, and my ultimate destiny, then facilitate it for me, and then bless me in my action. If, on the other hand, You know this thing is detrimental for me in my religion, worldly life, and ultimate destiny, turn it away from me, and turn me away from it, and decree what is good for me, wherever it may be, and make me content with it.)


But note that, you must be ready to marry the sister because Islam does not encourage/permit dating. It is totally haram to date a sister, once you see any sister you like and fit into your desire wife, perform Istikhara prayer and seek her hand in marriage.
