Bad breath can effect everyone at some point. We all have bacteria in our mouth everyday. Usually with proper dental care and regular brushing and flossing, we are able to keep bad bacteria from interrupting our daily lives. However, in some cases bad breath will find us no matter what. When reaching for any types of breath fresheners think twice about what you choose.

Traditional breath fresheners are loaded with chemicals, additives, alcohol and even artificial sweeteners—all of which can only do more harm than good. By disrupting the delicate balance of the mouth and introducing unnecessary chemicals into the body we are often tricked into believing that we are doing something good for our mouths. The mint flavoring added to most breath fresheners only masks a deeper problem.

Bad breath is the result of bacteria in the mouth. Bacteria grow well in the dark, moist environment of the mouth and as they grow and feed they release sulfur compounds that produce the odors that we associate with bad breath. Bacteria that are not properly removed will continue to grow and can lead to a variety of tooth and gum problems including severe gum infections, tooth loss, and even infect other areas of the body by entering the blood stream. Gum disease has even been linked to higher occurrences of heart attack and stroke, and preterm labor.

So making the wise choice of eliminating bad bacteria naturally is key to keeping your mouth and body happy. Everyone can benefit from natural breath fresheners. Because they do not contain any dangerous chemicals, there is no age limit or health restrictions on who may use them. Natural peppermint and spearmint oils are key ingredients that serve a special function. Not just to mask odors and trick us into believing our mouth is clean. Natural mint oils are anti-bacterial and can freshen breath naturally. They can eliminate and slow the growth of bacteria and this is essential to keeping your breath smelling fresh longer. So don’t be afraid to try a natural alternative—your mouth and body will thank you for the change.
