\"Woman<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

In 2020, the National Coffee Association shared that 70% of Americans drink coffee every week and 62% have a cup every day. Perhaps even more surprising, they also reported that the average American drinks more than three cups per day! So, if you indulge in this energizing beverage, you\u2019re certainly not alone. You may also know that \u201ccoffee breath\u201d can be quite unpleasant and result in you feeling self-conscious as you go throughout the rest of your day. Fortunately, you can read on to learn four helpful tips for getting rid of coffee breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Tip #1: Use a Straw<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Using a straw won\u2019t just help protect your teeth from staining, it will also prevent the coffee from coming into contact with your teeth, gums, and tongue. This may seem like a bit of a nuisance if you enjoy a piping-hot cup, but it will be well worth it. You can even get a reusable straw to help cut down on plastic waste!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #2: Sip on Water Simultaneously<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With each cup of coffee, you should have a glass of water. Sipping on H2O simultaneously will help prevent the residue from lingering (and<\/em> keep you hydrated throughout the day!). It\u2019s also a good idea to rinse your mouth thoroughly with water after you\u2019re done drinking your coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #3: Brush Your Teeth Shortly After<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since coffee is acidic, brushing your teeth immediately can do more harm than good. To reduce your chances of developing tooth decay, you should wait about 20 minutes before completing your oral hygiene routine. Keeping an on-the-go dental hygiene kit will make this habit significantly easier to implement!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #4: Chew on Some Sugar-Free Gum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Simply put, chewing gum will help stimulate saliva production, removing any lingering residue. It also will mask any odors that remain and give you the minty-fresh breath you desire. Just make sure to pick a sugar-free kind so you aren\u2019t exposing your teeth to sugar for prolonged periods of time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus Tip: Schedule an Appointment with Your Dentist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Remember, your dentist isn\u2019t just there to catch and treat cavities. They are your greatest ally when it comes to your oral health, and they are an ongoing resource when you have questions or concerns about your smile. If you\u2019ve been struggling with chronic bad breath, then don\u2019t hesitate to schedule a checkup<\/a> with them. At the minimum, they can provide you with specific recommendations. Who knows, they may even pinpoint that the root of the problem is an untreated oral health issue, not your morning cup of coffee! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
