Is your breath hot? Tongue ashy? No worries! 🫧 👸🏾

I use all of these things TWICE a day. I used to suffer from dry mouth and super bad morning breath. Things that contributed to these were:

•Smoking

•Not brushing before bed

•Eating before bed

•Dehydration

•Being afraid of the Dentist

If you don’t address underlying conditions or concerns, it’s ✨POINTLESS✨ to spend time, money, and effort trying to cure a problem that you are causing.

Now that that’s over…

TIP#1: THROW OUT THAT OLD A** TOOTHBRUSH 🪥Those bristles hold bacteria from old colds, the strep throat you had 4 weeks ago, the dust collected in your restroom etc etc. Also the bristles get old and worn down. I use medium (firmness) toothbrush because my enamel can take it. Soft bristle toothbrushes are more gentle on enamel but wear faster.

TIP#2: I absolutely love traditional floss. I use the C method while flossing to get any trapped debris and food particles and also stimulate my gums to prevent gum disease and gingivitis.

TIP#3: Don’t be scared of the toothpaste. This is more so personal choice but I make sure to put a nice amount of toothpaste on my toothbrush. Even if toothpaste does cost $5 LOL. I like to make sure my mouth is fully coated in toothpaste, in every crack and crevice.

TIP#4: Some may say it’s excessive. But I use TWO tongue scrapers. The tongue brush feels like a toothbrush but is harder and is able to breakdown any film that may be coating your tongue. No ashy tongue allowed.

TIP#5: THERABREATH is the celebrity here. Therabreath was the first “cure” I found that helped with my dry mouth and bad morning breath. It’s gonna give you a fresh minty burst while also cleaning and moisturizing your mouth. Mixing 1 cap full of therabreath with 2 or 3 caps of water in your water pick and let it work its magic. The therabreath x water pick duo is going to get any leftover food particles from hard to reach places and blast off plaque build up.

TIP#6: The metal tongue scraper is optional. Sometimes I use the tongue scraper on my water pick and skip this part. But either way the tongue is the culprit of your bad breath so don’t neglect it! Even people with the prettiest smiles sometimes have bad breath because of their tongue. So make sure to use your metal scrapper to safety reach as far back as you can and scrap.that.tongue!

TIP#7: Dr. Tichenor’s mouthwash is NOT for the weak. This mouthwash has the potential to cure your bad breath all by itself! It is very strong and can burn you if you’re not careful. But germs run away when they see Dr. Tichenor coming LOL. This mouthwash kept my tongue piercing from getting infected and helped it heal up faster than my friends. It instructs you to dilute it for use so read the directions closely before using this. You won’t regret it 💫
