In the morning, when you wake up, you feel that you have bad breath. Well, the breath is bad because all night long, your mouth has been dry. When you sleep, the body has a natural tendency to slow your body's saliva flow. This type of bad breath "occurs" when persons like lawyers or teachers talk very much, and then they do not talk at all for a long period of time. Saliva naturally washes, dilutes and kills the bacterias in your mouth. When there is no more saliva, you can imagine yourself what happens. The washing and bacteria killing mechanism doesn't work the way it should anymore. Water does the same thing. Remember that tip about carrying a water bottle around from my previous article? Well, you can also apply it to this, and as I already said, it pays off big time. This is even simpler because all you really have to do is keep a water bottle next to your bed, so that when you wake up, poof, there it is :). If you suffer from bad breath in general, you should make a habit out of always drinking water. Just take a sip every now and then and it will pay off big time. No big secret. Xerostomia is also a cause of having a dry mouth. Xerostomia can be a side effect of the medication a person is taking. Antihistamines (allergy and cold medications), antidepressants, blood pressure agents, diuretics, narcotics, or anti-anxiety medications are each known to produce xerostomia.About the Author:
