remove any bacteria<\/strong> that accumulate overnight. In order to clean the tongue properly, you\u2019ll need to invest in a tongue scraper, a toothbrush with soft bristles, or even a spoon. <\/p>\n\n\n\nIf the tongue is pink and shiny, it is not harboring a lot of bacteria. If you notice a white film on the tongue, however, it does have bacteria and you probably have bad breath. Want confirmation of that odor? Lick your clean wrist, allow it to dry, and then smell it. You can get rid of the white film by using a tongue scraper or spoon, or simply brushing the tongue with a soft-bristled toothbrush. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This may be a more unconventional approach, but gargling with baking soda before bed may reduce the likelihood of foul morning breath. Dissolve one teaspoon of baking soda in one cup of water and gargle it for one minute. This is completely safe and helps establish and alkaline environment in the mouth, which helps to kill bacteria. <\/p>\n
