Forums → The Tavern → Does gum REALLY make your breath better?

wre u just trying 2 think of a subject or r u big on hygiene

Well it does make your breath smell minty

it's like a tic tac, it works for a short while

it makes your breath better for awhile, but then your mouth starts to stink from all the spit it is making

Depends. Some mints/gum don't smell that good, just taste good. TicTac makes this 'Cherry Passion' flavor, and it tastes alright, but really isn't pleasant on the breath...

What I do is take a piece of gum and split it in half. Seeing as a whole gum and a half gum have the same "life", go with half a gum. It does the same trick.

Though, if you've been eating garlic, onions, and the sort, then a whole piece would be better.

You might be better off just brushing more often though!

Another old topic....

Yes it gum does seem to wear off after while.

Yeah, it makes your breath fresher for a while.

It doesnt make your teeth any better, try 5 gum peppermint.. That gum it like at the maximum limit of mint

Well of course its for a while...

Its not magic gum!

MMM magic gum, get me some


Black Black works well.

Yeah, but it doesn't last that long.

Well kinda, It's the kind of gum you use and the strenght of smell of it too.

5 and stride are the longest lasting and they do make ur breath better... it just cloaks the bad stuff

Yeah, they have those Tic Tac bold Fruit, they taste awesome, but I'd really hate to have breath like that.
