besides the normal brushing of teeth, tongue scraping, flossing, & mouthwash

i do the altoid thing. i love having fresh minty breath all day long, & anyone who gets close enough doesn't mind either. what do you use?

Try rinsing with hydrogen peroxide in additon to everything else you listed. Also keep your mouth moist by drinking water or chewing gum.

Do you have plaque on your tongue?

If your are using every over the counter-means and they aren't working, ask you dentist, see what he suggests...

You haven't brushed your teeth until you've brushed them with a SoniCare.

If you don't have bad breath, why covers it with altoid.

Going to a dentist for regular checkup is definitely a must. Even sonicare cannot clean spaces between your teeth and your gum.

I try to floss after a meal if possible. I brush and floss in the morning not before shower, but after breakfast.
