    Dentist never heard of a mint?

    Also I thought morning brushing was about teeth because most smells are on the tongue not the teeth unless there’d an abscess or something.

    Does everybody brush/scrape their tongue every morning?

      I mean, I can’t speak for everyone, but I do.

      Eating a mint to deal with bad breath seems like the equivalent of a 15 year old boy dousing himself with Axe body spray to deal with their BO. It doesn’t solve the problem, it just temporarily masks it, and usually to a lesser degree than you think or hope.
