Good Breath Tips - Date Night Advice
Check out the following tips on how to keep your breath fresh during DATE NIGHT!
Meal Time:
Choose wisely when placing your order. Personally if it is a first date I tend to choose items off the menu that can be sliced into small pieces and chewed quietly in my mouth. You never get a second chance to make a first impression and the last thing you want is lipstick on your chin and hoovering down chunks of hamburger to ruin the mood. Ha!
Menu Tips:
- Meat eaten in large quantities can cause bad breath, mostly due to the digestion process, which begins in the mouth.
- Carbohydrates cause the strongest odors in the mouth – sugars, starches, and cellulose
- Milk intolerance is also a cause of bad breath. If you are sensitive to dairy products – steer clear of ice cream desserts!
After Your Meal…
- Lick the inside of your wrist. This is the best test to see if your breath is foul.
- Use dental floss. Bad breath can be caused by food caught in your teeth.
- Chew your garnish! Parsley is a well-known home remedy for bad breath.
- Order the fruit dessert. Fresh fruits help cleanse the mouth after a meal and flush away odor-causing bacteria
At the Bar…
- Alcohol dries out the mouth, which reduces saliva production.
- Mojitos contain lots of fresh mint, so order one and ask for an extra mint garnish to chew on after you finish your drink.
- Water will help thwart the dehydration effect of alcohol. Order one glass of water for every drink and you’ll stay sober and sweet!
- Alcohol consumption causes digestive problems which leads to bad breath. In addition, alcohol dries out the mouth, which reduces saliva production.
I hope these tips prove helpful for you on your next dating venture. Lord knows that there is enough to be worried about without worrying if you mouth smells like sewage. Good Luck!

You make some good points, but I have to disagree with a couple of them. First, while you don’t to come as a slob on your first date, I think that ordering food that has to be cut into a lot of smaller pieces might give the wrong impression. You could off as kind of uptight. I think most guys want to be with someone that is comfortable with themselves, and fussing around with your food just might give that impression. Second, the ordering of a mojito contradicts your later point about ordering alcohol. Also, don’t mojitos have sugar in them? Wouldn’t that also contradict your info about consuming sugars? Finally, consuming alcohol on a first can be little risky for other reasons too. You don’t want to consume too much so that your judgement is impaired. Sorry, to nitpick and sound like a nag, but I just wanted bring up a few points.
