3 steps to release your breath when you get up

Published on April 02, 2024

Improving your morning breath requires an approach that goes beyond simple brushing routines. Here are tips based on scientific principles and advanced oral hygiene practices to rebalance the oral eco-system and freshen breath as soon as you get up.

1. Scratch your tongue as soon as you get up

The tongue scraper is an essential tool to combat morning breath. Here's why and how to effectively integrate it into your routine:

Removal of Bacteria and Debris: The surface of the tongue can harbor bacteria and food debris, contributing to bad breath. A tongue scraper is designed to remove this layer, reducing the production of volatile sulfur compounds.

Scraper Selection: Choose a dual-ended professional tongue scraper, like The Smilist, for maximum effectiveness. This tool is designed to conform to the shape of your tongue and gently remove as much residue as possible.

Scraping Technique: Use the tongue scraper in the morning, after drinking water but before brushing your teeth. Start at the back of your tongue and gently pull forward. Repeat this several times, rinsing the scraper between each stroke.

2. Gargle with mouth oil to complete the cleansing

Choose a mouthwash enriched with natural oils and free of alcohol. Like The Smilist Bi-Phase Mouthwash, using this mouthwash before brushing can help reduce bacterial counts. The oils attract bacteria like a magnet to cleanse the oral ecosystem.

3. Use a mouth spray throughout the day

After brushing and scraping your tongue, an oral spray can provide instant and lasting freshness. Look for a spray enriched with natural extracts to maintain the balance and health of your mouth. The Smilist Oral Spray is enriched with the mineral zinc to fight unpleasant odors.

By adopting these practices, you will not only improve your morning breath but also your general oral health. Tongue scraping, in particular, is an often underestimated but crucial step for long-lasting fresh breath.
