No matter the reason, the culprit is bacteria. If you see a dentist, he might suggest two things:
First, eat well, which means maintaining a balanced diet with enough protein and carbohydrates, and plenty of vegetables and fruits rich in various vitamins;
Second, it's best to brush your teeth or use dental floss after meals. In fact, there's another method: some foods are natural remedies for bad breath and can prevent it from coming back.
1. Parsley
This herb is most effective at eliminating mouth odors, especially the smell of smoke. If you can't find parsley, cilantro or mint can also freshen your breath. For better results, chew them for as long as possible, or use them to make tea. Additionally, these herbs are also good for digestion.

2. Yogurt
Recent studies have shown that eating yogurt daily can reduce the levels of hydrogen sulfide in the mouth, as this substance is the main cause of bad breath. Regular yogurt consumption can also prevent the growth of harmful bacteria in the mouth that can cause gum disease or plaque. However, only natural yogurt has this effect; sugary yogurt does not.
3. Vegetables and fruits rich in fiber
Such as apples, carrots, and celery. These help to produce a large amount of saliva. Saliva not only moistens the mouth but also cleans food particles stuck on teeth or between them, which are also a cause of bad breath.
Berries, citrus fruits, watermelon, and other foods rich in vitamin C create an environment in the mouth that is unfavorable for bacterial growth. Regular intake of vitamin C is also very beneficial for gum health. But note that vitamin C should come from natural foods, not food additives, as additives may disrupt digestion.
