The best ways to eliminate garlic breath include eating raw foods like apples, lettuce, or mint to neutralize sulfur compounds, drinking whole milk, and chewing parsley. For immediate relief, brush, floss, and use a mouthwash with chlorine dioxide or zinc. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Top Methods to Get Rid of Garlic Breath
• Eat Raw Produce: According to a study (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4033883/), consuming raw apples, lettuce, or mint leaves helps break down the pungent odor-causing compounds.
• Drink Milk: Whole milk (https://trilliantdentistry.com/2017/09/15/how-to-get-rid-of-garlic-and-onion-breath/) is highly effective at reducing the concentration of volatile, garlic-induced odor compounds in the mouth.
• Chew Parsley: The polyphenols in parsley act as natural deodorizers to neutralize odor.
• Oral Hygiene: Brush, floss, and use a tongue scraper to remove garlic particles and bacteria.
• Mouthwash: Use mouthwash containing chlorine dioxide, zinc, or essential oils to neutralize smells.
• Other Remedies: Drink green tea, chew sugar-free gum, or consume lemon juice. [1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
It is important to note that garlic breath can last for up to 72 hours, as the sulfur compounds can be absorbed into the bloodstream. [6, 11]
